Answer is yes, because more they hitting to gyms and more getting confidence about their hidden abilities. Most important thing is women are more committed to what they are doing than men. Only edge men have is the size (which also can be converted to strength) advantage. This is why when it comes to wrestling in weight classes, we often see women beating men now days.
Other changes that have taken place in the past 25-30 years are: 1.) the variety of sports that are now available to girls and women. this encourages women to try new activitites and accept new physical challenges. 2.) a more relaxed idea about what is "feminine". High school girls can pin their opponent in a wrestling match in the afternoon, and be the homecoming queen at a dance the same evening.
