women's weight classes

If I understand correctly, the lightest weight class being for less than 220 lbs folks means that, say, Gail Kim could lift and handle Nicole Bass at will. :o
If this is true, then I believe that a separated weight system for women would correct this anomaly. Is it possible? And how many could the classes be?

It is true. Women wrestlers were never even considered for TNM. Adding a separate scale for female wrestlers wouldn't be as simple as it sounds, BTW, because weight classes are buried very deep into the match engine and many other parts of the program.

Would it be possible to connect their weight class to a facade weight?  So that TNM recognizes it as within the current weight classes, but in the profile it is listed as their facade (actual) weight?  If that makes sense.  Doing it this way, the female flag would have to be able to tell TNM which to use so that a woman with weight class 6 (considerably lighter than a male of the same weight class) cannot lift a male with weight class 6.... still make sense? ;D
