I’ve seen enough girl superhero movies to know this is wrong.

Well put
Anecdotally I have a mid 30’s female relative who trained in ballet into her mid teens, then yoga and was instructor for 10+ years, did CrossFit and not hardcore Pilates-she’s not big about5’5” and 120 but probably in the top 1% as far as strength by size -and has no illusions that she is super powerful or remotely capable of competing with even an older man of similar size, much less someone larger
The media and Hollywood delusions infesting people’s minds is eventually going to lead to some hard disappointments

I’m told a lot of police departments used to have height requirements for this very reason.

Me either but I always look at that boxer Butterbean as an example-guys wasn’t that talented and certainly not in good shape but just his sheer size allowed him to just wreck people in a hurry
Size does matter

So they did “research” to find out what everyone in the world knows, and then the article tries in vain to lessen the impact of the truth on the reader. Science daily is not a scientific journal. But research means funding and "science" denotes veracity. Yet having some documentation helps in debate with those who claim there need be no functional differences btw male and female, besides those who claim to be the opposite of what they biologically are.

there are a few womenz in MMA though who hit like a mule- But most female MMA figthers are much weaker than male MMA fighters, and their4 fights are pretty boring- slap-fests mostly- but those few females who hit hard could knock many men out no problem they hit so hard, and their fights are worth watching if they are paired with another hard hitting female

This is why men used to be raised up to never hit girls. At least in an earlier, saner time. Yes, even with the specter of imminent nuclear war, earlier was saner. Then came the feminist movement with actual women exalting "I am women" and denying any functional differences btwn male and female, to biological women claiming they are men, and transfemales athletes manifesting there are indeed functional differences.

No actual scientist has said there is any *proof* of the theory of evolution. It is very difficult to scientifically prove anything in the past.
It is the followers of the ideology who think there is proof and willing to repeat there is.

Sometimes when I can see my wife getting upset ( not at me but at something in her life ) I ask her to hit me as hard as she can. I just stand there after she hits me, totally unaffected. I do that as a stress release for her. It seems to make her feel better. Really, her punches are like a child hitting me. A very young child.
Am I the only one that does this?

The one thing I can never get a women to understand is not only how naturally strong men are but how much punishment they can take and keep on going.

In Walker, Texas Ranger tiny Sydney Cooke would often beat up huge male thugs. They took extra care to consider the size and power difference so the choreography and acting was stellar.
I knew it was impossible but it looked totally convincing. Good job!

You said:
"...All of which does NOT make one gender superior to each other, as each have their “strengths” and “weaknesses,” and yet these are complimentary, having a symbiotic relationship, as God has designed them to compliment each other, and beyond the physical aspect..." I have said explicitly for years that this is my stance on male vs. female. Together, in a well matched pair, each sex is stronger than it could be alone, and that is by divine intent.
It is for a reason.

Men have been designed with an internal factory that creates and disseminates naturally occurring steroids (Testosterone) into the bodies of men, causing them to be naturally bigger, faster, and stronger. It gives us more body mass and heavier bone structure as a framework for the muscle. I saw the statement in the article
"...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..." That is why. Our naturally supplied, legal (so far) steroid call Testosterone.

Right, I got the actress wrong, thanks! I would see a fight and think “It looks like that would work but my brain says ‘no, it can’t!’”

There are differences? Who knew!!!
To: daniel1212
Female cops and soldiers must surely be the exception to the rule since we insist they take on males in combat and on the streets every day. Diversity kills.
