Strenght - Men vs Women or the confusion of some feminists...

The article quotes this Feministing article:

In truth, this assertion of women being as strong as men is correct. There are many statistics that will show women to often be physically weaker than men, but I have yet to hear of any significant portion of society to even consider any reason for that statistic other than that women having a biological disadvantage. That is not the reason for those statistics. Anyone who cares to think about the process of evolution can immediately see that a biological disadvantage is evolutionarily impossible. Every biologist knows that, in nature, most of any given individual creature's competition for food, shelter, etc. comes from members of its own species. Men and women, in nature, without technology or civilization, eat the same food, live in the same type of shelters, and are in competition for everything that might be in limited supply. As little as ten thousand years ago, there was no such thing as law, culture, or civilization. Every individual cared for themselves, first and foremost, just as it is with nearly all other animals. If one person were stronger than another, the weaker would starve to death as soon as there is any shortage of food, or be killed as soon as they irritate the stronger person. If one group of people were stronger than another, such as men being stronger than women, then the weaker group would be wiped out, except for any individuals that were strong enough to fight off members of the stronger group. Their children would then all be that strong. The fact that women survived in that time period is proof that they have the same physical abilities. within a single species, evolution forces equality.

THIS IS THE MOST STUPID AND WRONG THING I HAVE HEARD IN MY LIFE.

I remember once having an argument with a girl who claimed women (on average) are just as physically strong as men. My jaw dropped. I wasn't trying to be sexist, it's just that claiming that is like claiming that men are just as capable of giving birth as a women. Her argument was that you never really she how strong a women is till she "really gets going". In response I asked if professional female athletes never really got going then, seeing as they aren't as strong as the male ones.

Some people also claim that women are stronger pound for pound than men. I think this mistaken beleif comes from some research that claimed a woman's muscle tissue pound for pound was stronger than a man's. This however does not make a woman stronger pound for pound, as they have much less muscle (on average) than a man. Try selecting a random sample of say 100 20-30 year old males and 100 20-30 yr old females and see what percentage of each sex can bench press their bodyweight if you want proof.

There really should be a way for submitters to correct typos in their titles.

Feminists are delusional and wrong in just about everything they think.
