Which sex is stronger?

[Don Gwinn]

Back to the original topic, men are much stronger on average. Men are also much faster on average. Women can catch up in areas like quickness, flexibility, technique, mental quickness, and maybe stamina.

 

If you disagree with this, women of the world, then I invite you to join with me and throw off the chains of segregation. That's right--start competing on a level playing field with men. Full speed, no special rules.

 

There are some women who could do this and be competitive in most sports. In fact, some of them are itching to do this very thing. However, the quickest way to shut up the average girl who is mouthing off about how women's basketball is "just as good" as men's is to offer to trade places with her for one season. That may not be PC, but I've never heard a really good explanation of why women who are "equal to men" and "can do anything some boy can do" have to be set apart in female-only leagues.

Kickchick, honestly, I don't know what you expected from a thread entitled "Which sex is stronger?" How you can reconcile that with saying "this thread is not about whether women or men are the stronger" is beyond me. Good luck with the thread, though.

 

Did I say that? thread was not meant to be man vs. woman .... but male strength(muscle) vs. female strength(muscle)

 

When comparing the same amount of muscle, there is no difference in strength between the sexes ... so that is how I reconcile it!

 

As far as luck with the thread.... the "hits" speak for themselves.

First thought when I saw this thread. Warning: Death trap, do not answer, proceed with caution. But I took the quiz, and the quiz was stupid. Got 15 out of 35. The quiz was geared toward women, and was not meant for men to answer. However, maybe there is no difference between men and women. And women do make the same wages as men. And the sun does revovle around the earth. Ah well.

hm is it true that 1 out of every 3 women get attacked during one point of their lives? if this is true i think all women should get into a martial art... I know it works because three men attacked a girl who took a martial art and she beat them all up, broke one of their bone..

 

i think we should stop doing this men against women thing.. sure most men may be stronger, but we are all equal and unique in our own way. I mean, even if men are stronger if women are well trained they can become as good, if not better. Strength isn't everything and there are arts like aikido where strength doesn't matter much. wasn't it bruce lee who could beat body builders or something?

some sports mens strength outclasses women by miles take tennis for example.

in general id say potential is about even and unless you're a world class fighter, good men and good women are both good.

 

now this is assuming you mean women and men of the same size. i dont think a woman who is 5'6 and 130lbs is gonna take out a 6'4 220lbs (both pure muscle) guy with the same amount of training. theres an obvious advantange that comes with size. techniques can be used with large size too and are usually more powerful. btw, im not accounting for magical chi and stuff that can let the small women break steel beams with her mind...

 

for pure fighting abilities id have to say men have the advantange. more pure strength, more drive to fight and etc. this of course is refering to the best, so overall the point is moot.

Depends on the type of fighting actually, for most brawling then probably men would win, having more sheer aggression. For anything requiring a level head and calm I'd have to say then the woman would probably have the edge.

Boys, boys,boys; If women want to say their stronger, let them, coz we gonna have serious problems when they stop cooking our food, washing our clothes and rocking the bed.

 

No, seriously, if you take a male and female of same size and height, the man has more natural physical strength. But depending on their abilities in the martial arts, a women could easily beat up a man.

 

I wouldn't mind getting beat up by a woman. It'd be real fun!
