Why males pack a powerful punch...males' upper bodies, on average...90% more strength than females...punching motion was 162% greater than females'

according to new research from the University of Utah. Males' upper bodies are built for more powerful punches than females', says the study, published in the Journal of Experimental Biology...

For years, Carrier has been exploring the hypothesis that generations of interpersonal male-male aggression long in the past have shaped structures [as if there was no Designer] in human bodies to specialize for success in fighting...

It's already known that males' upper bodies, on average, have 75% more muscle mass and 90% more strength than females'. But it's not known why.

"The general approach to understanding why sexual dimorphism evolves," Morris says, "is to measure the actual differences in the muscles or the skeletons of males and females of a given species, and then look at the behaviors [not design] that might be driving those differences."

To test their hypothesis the researchers had to measure punching strength, but carefully....

To test their hypothesis the researchers had to measure punching strength,...even with roughly uniform levels of fitness, the males' average power during a punching motion was 162% greater than females', with the least-powerful man still stronger than the most powerful woman. Such a distinction between genders, Carrier says, develops with time and with purpose...

It's an uncomfortable thought to consider that men may be designed for fighting. That doesn't mean, however, that men today are destined to live their ancestor's violent lives...

The study was funded by the National Science Foundation and included additional co-authors Jenna Link and James C. Martin, both of the Department of Nutrition and Integrative Physiology at the University of Utah.

Excerpt of excerpt. Notice how all must be attributed to evolution, as if perhaps in the Beginning there was no substantial or basic difference, and thus this can be reversed, thus affirming "transitioning."

However, while by God's design, there is adaptation - a form of limited micro evolution - and science can somewhat discover how God created things,yet the reality is that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered universe, exquisitely finely tuned for corporeal life with its profound intricate complexity and extensive diversity , logically testifies to design, requiring a First Cause (at the least), that of a powerful being of supreme intelligence being behind the existence of energy and organization of matter. And the creation and design of man is part of that.

That all can be a result of purely natural processes itself requires much faith.

The female body is optimized for child bearing. The male body is optimized to provide for and protect the female. But try telling that to a feminist.

Most anybody of reasonable intelligence would, or should, be able to discern that.

Yet, we spent how much money on yet another useless study to tell us what most of us already knew.

Gosh, it’s almost as if nature intended males and females to have different survival roles. Oh, wait. That’s sexist. Everyone knows a 110-pound woman can beat a dozen 250-pound men with one punch each. I’ve seen the movies.

The “proof” they offer is, “it only looks like design, but it is really random.”

This is impossible. What about all those movies with women beating the crap out of men? How do they explain Kill Bill?

Somebody needs to run a research project on Carrier to study the hypothesis of "the guy is an idiot."

"...the least-powerful man still stronger than the most powerful woman"

Sounds like he needs a bigger sample size...

“The female body is optimized for child bearing. The male body is optimized to provide for and protect the female. But try telling that to a feminist.”

Going against God’s plan and creation is what they (leftists, feminists, pro-transgender cretins, etc.) are all about. They love delusion and push their favorite ones constantly. They really are mentally unhinged, but are easily utilized. Satan is very pleased with them, no doubt.

It's a MAGA trick to scare feminists into submission. Don't fall for, sisters! You can beat up Mike Tyson - as long as that is your truth! :)

Problem is Barack would lose a steel cage match against Moochelle “Mike” Obama.

And I’d like to see David Hogg or the woke “males” trying to meet women at BLM marches defeat any middle school female. And all the NPR voices sound like the men wear little bow ties and trade recipes from each other’s moms.

This cannot be true!

Just the other night (on TV) I saw a 115-lb female whip the crap out of three ferocious men...

Surely, TV cannot be lying to us...
Maybe my lying 90-year-old eyes are lying to me...

Only if you’re a scriptwriter for B movies.

This simple biological fact lies at the heart of women’s objection to sharing lavatories and dressing rooms with trans women (biological men) and you rarely hear objections of men who share their spaces with trans men (biological women). It would be similar to an average man sharing his personal space with a bodybuilder on steroids. The “transwoman” and the ‘roid rager are the 800 pound gorillas and can do whatever they wish.

So why are we wasting tax dollars to integrate women in infantry combat units? No wonder PT has become a joke. 162% stronger, and by some miracle the average female is going to make up that difference. Please stop the nonsense!
