Are women Physically weaker than men?
I am amazed at how many here have taken offence at the simple (and true) statement that men are statistically stronger than women after puberty. This is due to a simple reason- testosterone. Men have it in abundance, women don’t. Comparing like for like, men are stronger and faster. The fact that some women are stronger than some men does not change this fact. If women want to be as muscular as men, they have to take testosterone or have a naturally higher than normal amount. Women body builders often use testosterone and gain secondary male sexual attributes including a heavier jaw, a deeper voice and an enlarged clitoris. If women were as strong as men, they would be able to compete on equal footing on a like-for-like basis in all major competitive strength-based disciplines and this obviously isn’t the case. To take offense at this and to call it sexist is however odd. Sexual differences and pointing them out is not in itself a sexist statement, it’s simply a fact. Any inferences yo
