Hey Augie I understand the NCAA's decision as I am a college athlete but it is physically impossible to consider these athletes equal. Unless you can alter the skeletal basis on which all of the muscles connect to they shouldn't be considered equal because the biomechanics, leverage and mechanical advantage of a specific gender over the other. As a metaphor if you take a truck, strip it down and replace the engine with that of a hybrid; it will not be equal because although the engine, bells and whistles are the same, the frame of the truck will be stronger and weaker in some areas.
