Now, some might say that this proves women aren’t strong. Hogwash. Women are very strong. To give just one important example, more than 100 million women give birth each and every year. It is an impressive feat of strength...

Methinks Mollie Hemingway doesn't quite grasp that the definition of "strong" depends on context.
Her dishonesty in conflating the many definitions, and tapdancing around or (ignoring) the specific "strength" being addressed, made her entire opinion rather useless.

Yes, I admit that in tests of physical strength requiring "work" in the physics sense, there are many women stronger than I but that does not make rendering a physical strength standard useless in certain professions and applications because it's not politically correct.

Publius911 --- (shakes head) --- that is what she is saying.

I am hard of hearing: not equally across all frequencies, but there are particular pitches that are just inaudible "holes" in my auditory range. For instance the bells at Mass. I can see the server's arm working as he rings the bells, but I can't hear a thing.

I am convinced some people (no offense) are tone-deaf to irony.

It's probably a good thing. Some men maybe go their whole lives without catching their wives' ironic tone. ("I'm sure you're right, honey....")
