Sheer physical strength doesn't necessarily win fights. Something like the MMA isn't necessarily representative of reality, since you're dealing with two trained fighters and rules and understanding of how to avoid and get out of bad positions.
It's really hard to say and unpredictable. You can't just measure two people's physical prowess and say who's going to win outside a sporting event where they could be panicked, reach for weapons, surprise each other, bite each other, go for vital areas like eyes, throat, groin, etc.
To me the only answer is that it's not widely tested, but there's plenty of evidence to show that a significantly weaker person (female or not) can win outside a sporting event where there's no holds barred by sheer luck or surprise or a weapon or just a greater determination to fight back or anything of that sort.
Yes. A lot of it depends on technique and stamina. Not strength
I do Aikido and I have a good friend who does Jujitsu so I have seen plenty of women vs men fights. It is technique and not strength that gives you the advantage. No matter how strong a man is, if her technique is better then he is going down.
I was paint balling with some of my club friends a few years ago and a very rowdy group of men turned up and they decided for reasons that I never knew to pick a fight with a few of us. It did not end well for them.
It depends on the woman and the man. There are some weak (physically weak) men, and some women that have combat training. I think she has a good shot, yes. Other factors might need to be taken in to consideration as well. Will her speed and agility best his slow strength? I think it's probable.
If you are pitting a librarian woman against an MMA fighter guy, no she will not beat him physically.
The average woman against the average man I'd say no. I've always wondered why in action movies they have this brute of a man against a dainty woman with barely any muscle and she is able to over power him strength wise. Maybe in technique as in dodging a lot of his blows and combat moves with a lot of technicality but certainly not in strength unless she herself had a man body to match his.
Well I certainly can *punch*

Well, it all depends on the situation.
1. If it's a one to one fight and neither of them know martial arts or any fighting form then no, the girl won't be able to beat a guy up because naturally men are more stronger than women, physically.
2. If it's a one to one fight and the woman is an expert in combat fighting and the guy just knows street fighting then yes, the woman will be able to beat him up though she may take a few hits.
3. If the woman is very built, knows combat fighting and the guy is nothing, like no built and has no skills then surely the woman can beat him anytime.
4. Yes of course if the guy is stronger, powerful and is built like Bruce lee then the woman practically has no chance of beating him up, or she may be able to but will suffer lot of damage while doing so, hence it will be highly unlikely in this case.
Yes, a guy strength will intimidate a woman that's true.
Hence I would say "YES" it's possible although it depends on the situation.
Lets say the car won't start and its 20 below zero, you live in the country and you have toddler's together... she is going crazy throwing shit and hitting and scratching... then yes, because you can only hold her down on the bed, until police or someone arrives to help and or pick you up. Because you can't hit her back, not that I would want to in this situation, but technically you can't even hold her down unless you are a cop - which is bullshit if she is actually 100% having a psychotic episode or is sociopathic.
There's lots of really weak men and strong women. It depends on the variables. We have the false dichotomy of overpowering brute strength, that is a bit lumbering and stupid, versus more refined but less powerful female strength. Personally, I wouldn't underestimate anybody. There's girls in my martial arts class, and when they really want to be, they're fast as fuck. I remember being punched in the throat one time before I even knew what was going on. Generally though, or at least psychologically, it's hard to counter that brute strength.
Think about this, when we talk about strength by gender we talk about averages, the average woman is weaker then the average guy. That doesn't mean that every woman is weaker then every guy. The world record for a woman in clean and jerk is 427 pounds, think about that, most guys can't lift that much. Further, skill in combat is only half of the equation: A skilled fighter can certainly re-direct their opponents force, can use precise use of force (as opposed to just beating on someone) and it doesn't take a lot of strength to injure someone if the person is hit properly. Now the other half of the equation is when weapons are involved, even if she picks up a stick, then the situation becomes much more equal.
YES! My girlfriend got mad because i did a very bad thing... anyways, she punched me in the jaw, and as my head turned from impact i saw my cat staring at me with wide eyes, and i stared back, everythng was slow motion. The clouds got darker, my jaw twisting, my cat just watching. I then looked at my girlfriend and said "My charmeleon evolved into a charizard today." And she completely lost her shit and packed her bags and left the house.. i never saw her again... but now my cat looks at me and i look back, and we know... we know.. things were never the same.
yes she could even haveing a disadvantage in strength but it could be a bonus for her because the guy will underestimate her. and if she make the first strike it could be very detrimental to the guy.
lesson is don't understatement your foe no matter who they are.
Yes a girl can, just because a guy might be stronger/bigger than a girl doesn't always means he has more fighting skill than a girl. Size and strength is nothing without skill.

Um.
There are several factors that make one a good fighter.
One is size, but, attitude is also a biggie. Someone who thinks they can win often does, regardless of size and sex.
Haha.
:\
Well technically speaking a girl can beat a guy, but if we look at the likelihood of this happening it is unlikely.
Take a 6'0 200lb guy, he is already 50% stronger than a girl of the same height and weight.
Some girls are not easily intimidated, and to answer your question yes she can. As a girl that got into a ridiculous amount of fights with guys who threw the first punch, yes she can. All of us are really not these fragile little things.
Mabye I suppose men are naturally stronger or so we are told I'm strong for a women however I want to power down some as it is taking a toll on my femininity
It is definitely possible. Just because someone is the opposite sex of you doesn't mean they can't do the same or more things you can.
I think a strong women can especially if she is able to attack first and has a planned attacked and is somewhat trained.
I don't care how trained a woman is, a man would kill her. Police officers are trained combatants, too, and even then there's footage of men knocking out women cops.
Ronda rousey could kick my ass
@archiz could probably too if she wanted, I mean who knows.
I'm actually really fragile guys, shh don't tell anyone
yes of course but its very limited you don't hear about it too often
@Missnowhere may not beat you up but she will destroy your soul (But it's fun to watch)
I'm pretty sure 98% of women couldn't take me out but then again you got that 2% that are trained like I'm sure Ronda Rousey would fuck me up lmao.
OK. I consider myself a pretty good fighter - blue belt in Tae Kwon-Do - and I'm fairly sure Rhonda Rousey could kick my ass.
If i manage to get to his throat before he gets to me
