I've heard more than a few liberals seriously argue that all of the athletic dimorphism between men and women (e.g., strength, size, etc.) are cultural rather than biological and that it's only because of our sexist culture that women are weaker than men. There are some seriously dangerous consequences to those ideas.

That is the single stupidest thing i've ever heard. I suppose racism is why whites can't jump as high as blacks too.

I read this in a 300 level sociology text book. They claimed that as we destroy the cultural barriers, athletic achievement will be equal. They supported this with the decreasing margin of difference between the best 100 meter times for men and women. However, with recent drug testing episodes, it turns out that the destruction of these cultural barriers is coming because our women are now shooting lots and lots of juice.

Yes. In thise article, Ann Coulter explains how women are good at some things but bad at other things. And if one doesn't understand the difference, people can die:
