I have spoken, in the last fortnight, to TWO otherwise intelligent 20-something women who were all "Hey, women can be just as strong as men", yet one of them expressed surprise when her rather weedy boyfriend was able to subdue her in a playfight, the other OUTRIGHT challenged me to an arm-wrestle - all 7 stones of her - and genuinely expected to have a sporting chance at victory. It was clear that I am TWICE her weight, plus change. It wasn't until I had to add that I was/am a former, now somewhat out of shape bodybuilder who still retains 70% of his peak strength, and she would find that fact quite a painful one, that her face changed expression and she withdrew her challenge.

Remember - this is just the last fortnight. I have had MANY such conversations, seen girls get into altercations with guys, instigate violence, and ALL of them ended, shock horror, with the girl on the losing end of the exchange, physically.

All of which begs the question - are young women today SO stupid, that they believe Social Studies, the school lesson where pupils are taught that men and women are "equal", overrides Biology, the school lesson where pupils are taught that men and women have different physical structures?
