Why don’t they get the men and women to throw the same hammer weight?
Because the women's distances would be tiny (not even making it out of the throws cage at lower levels), and injury risk very high.
Men's shot and hammer are both 7.26kg vs women's 4kg.
Men's discus 2kg vs women's 1kg, but crucially men's is much wider diameter as well. Most women's hands couldn't spin a discus at all.
Javelin is closer, 800g men's and women's 600g.
BTW who is that in your avatar?!
