The individual is not a race, the individual is not a sex, the individual is not a statistic.
The individual is everyone and the individual is unique. There are some commonalities between individuals.
They are all alive, they all have bodies, they all have minds.
You can look at a statistic which may state that blacks are more violent, but if you put 1 black person who has never commited a serious violent crime in a room with 3 proven white murderers, suddenly the statistic is reversed and becomes completely irrelevant. This is due to the fact, that the individual, is not to be assumed violent, peaceful, smart or stupid, physically able or weak.
There are plenty of black and white, male and female surgeons, authors, entertainers, homless, drunks, doctors, murderers, torturers, terrorists and theifs. Every race and both sexes are clearly capable of the very worst and best in human nature. They CAN be helpful and kind, or sadistic and cruel, they CAN be useful and productive members of society, or useless drunks. The individual CAN be many things, both good and bad. Violence is not a masculine trait, it is a human trait. History and society has proved this numberous times.
Physical traits are also not unique to race or gender. Some white males are 6'6, so are some white females, so are some male blacks, and male and female blacks, asians, Hispanics and everything else.
Some weigh 180lbs some weigh 220lbs. Strength is also not a masculine trait. It is a human trait, weakness is also a human trait.
You may say that on average men are stronger than women, but put a short, skinny little weakling such as myself (5'5, 8 stone) in a room with 3 women who are taller than 6'0 and weigh 190lbs each, suddenly that statistic is reversed and once again, becomes completely irrelevant, or even put 3 short skinny little women in a room with 6'6 250lbs man who is in a wheelchair and has a broken arm and legs, the statistic is once again irrelevant because the women clearly pose more of a physical threat regardless of the height and weight / muscle mass of the man if he is severely physically disabled, in fact even if he is healthy, 4 120lbs women x 4 = 480lbs. That's 480lbs vs 250lbs. In other words, once again, they outweigh him and in this situation, the women, as a collective would be more strong than the man.
Forget about all that, put a 100lbs woman in a room, with 3 300lbs men who are unarmed and give her a shotgun, once again, the woman is the strongest person in the room, in terms of physical threat, due to the fact that she has a gun.
The point I'm trying to make here is that when it comes to physical threat, it's ridiculous to say that women are always weaker than men. I find it insulting, as a man, to be told that i'm stonger than women physically, because there are plenty of countries in the world where I am below average weight and height even of women, and that's irrelevant anyway because women exist who are far above average weight and height of the average man.
There is however some differences based on sex, however these differences are never universal in the sense of CAN and only ever in the sense of CAN'T, at least when it comes to physical actions.
You CAN assume that a man CAN'T get pregnant. This is a universal fact. It is always true.
However you CAN'T assume that a woman CAN get pregnant, because many women are incapable of getting pregnant, due to problems / damage to the womb, infertility or age. Not all women CAN get pregnant, so you CAN'T assume that they CAN get pregnant on an indivual basis (we are all individuals) you can only assume that a man CAN'T.
You CAN assume that a woman CAN'T get prostate cancer, because because she has no prostate. This is a universal fact. You CAN assume that a woman CAN'T get penile cancer because she has no penis, but you CAN'T assume that a man CAN because some men exist who have no penis due to injury or birth problems. You CAN assume that a woman CAN'T impregnate, but CAN'T assume that a man CAN because many men are infertile.
Therefore the only valid assumptions you can make based on the fact that a person is male or female, is assumptions of what they ARE NOT, not of what they actually ARE.
