Would you agree that women are, anatomically speaking, weaker than men?

213. Depends on how your measure weakness and strength.

In the US, women tend to live longer than men. That suggests that they are perhaps healthier and in that sense stronger. Men, on the other hand, tend to be taller and weigh more than women, so in that sense men are stronger. On what biological or scientific evidence could one base an assertion that men are stronger? Doesn't it depend on the evidence you choose to value as indicative of strength?


Women have babies and historically have taken the greatest part of the responsibility for nurturing babies and children. Does that make them stronger or weaker? I tend to think that makes their position in society stronger. in that most societies (even animal societies) protect women more than men primarily in order to insure the continuation of the species or genetic line.

So i question the concept that women are weaker and men stronger. It just depends on how you measure strength and weakness. I would say that women in many ways are stronger.
