Why did God make women physically weaker than men? Don't you think it would be better if women are as strong as men? Wouldn't it make strong society?

It would be better if women were equally physically stronger

It's okay for women to weak

[Anonymous]

Don't blame God for this. Besides, men only have upper body strength. In every other area, women are generally stronger, including having a stronger immune system, stronger thighs/legs, stronger tolerance to pain, etc. It says so in the book "Are Women the Stronger Sex". It's available for free from many online book sites.
And we can knee a guy in the groin if he abuses his upper body strength, too. Though I agree, it would be good if women had the upper body strength that a lot of men have.

I don't think women are at all weak.

In physical strength, there is proof of women sharing the same strength as men.

Emotional strength, there is proof of women cooping with things that made us upset in the first place.

I do believe that women voices are as equal as men, but why won't society choose a woman as a leader for a change? Because you think women aren't capable of being leaders and that they will mess things up.

Consider this, we can prove we aren't weak.

Evolution made women physically weaker than men because men used to go outside for hunting which requires good amount of strength, while women lived mostly at home to tend to their children, rarely going out for any strong physical activities resulting in making them weaker. With the advent of agriculture, men became weaker and women became more weaker. It would be interesting, if they were as strong as men.

It's to do with womens ability to bear children. This requires the need for organs and bone structure to be slightly different so physical strength is less important. You see in elite female athletes that they stop having their periods and aren't fertile while competing at high levels.

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

This isn't a necessarily true because it’s been proven woman who train can be just as strong and sometimes even stronger so I don’t know maybe more women should just train more :)

[Barbaric]

They literally can't though.

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

Your statement is literally false though :/

[Barbaric]

It's not. It hasn't been proven that women who train can be just as strong as men who train. You can look at any weightlifting records, any sport records, and see that men out-compete women in all of them. That's why there are separate categories for men and women in every sport where physical strength matters.

Hand-grip strength is also a big indicator of overall physical strength, here's a study done on that:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17186303

From the study:

"ean maximal hand-grip strength showed the expected clear difference between men (541 N) and women (329 N). Less expected was the gender related distribution of hand-grip strength: 90% of females produced less force than 95% of males. Though female athletes were significantly stronger (444 N) than their untrained female counterparts, this value corresponded to only the 25th percentile of the male subjects."

"The present findings show that the differences in hand-grip strength of men and women are larger than previously reported. An appreciable difference still remains when using lean body mass as reference. The results of female national elite athletes even indicate that the strength level attainable by extremely high training will rarely surpass the 50th percentile of untrained or not specifically trained men."

Elite female athletes who compete in sports which require the highest levels of grip strength are still not as strong as 50% of men who don't train at all.

This isn’t true at all, you ever been in a gym for fighting?

[Barbaric]

I have yes, I've fought boxing and muay Thai. When I moved from boxing to muay Thai one of the girls I trained with was a champion Thai boxer. She was very skilled obviously, but no power. I was used to sparring with and getting hit by 250lb monsters. Sparring with her was like sparring with a very good 12 year old boy.

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

I don’t believe that at all, okayyyyyy sure
And even if that was the caSe maybe your gym sucked

[Barbaric]

Believe what you want, the proof is there. What you're saying isn't true, it's never been proven.

Check this fight out. Lucia Rijker, considered to be the best female Thai boxer of all time, undefeated against women - Vs a less experienced man of the same weight who was nowhere near good enough to be a champion. She got KO'd in the second round, the strength difference was too much:

Transsexual men break every world record in womens sports when they go head to head with women.
Elite women athletes train for years but still are only that tiny bit better than average males who dont train.
A good example of women's physical inferiority compared to men would be in tennis most lauded battle of the sexes where 29 year old professional female tennis player billy jean king triumphed against a 56 year old retired pot bellied alcoholic smoker who threw the match to pay off his gambling debts. In a similar match the Williams sisters were trounced after boasting they could beat any professional male tennis player by Karsten Braasch then no203. Karsten Braasch drank a few beers that morning, played a round of golf, smoked a few cigarettes and then proceeded to give the William's sisters the worst trashing of their lives in back to back matches.
Another good example is women' soccer

[Succubus-slayer65]

... teams playing under 15 boys school teams and getting trashed. That is world cup professional womens soccer players getting hammered by 15 year old amateur boys lol

[Succubus-slayer65]

Lol the guardian. It proves the opposite

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

No, just no.

[Succubus-slayer65]

Yes just yes. Professional female athletes beaten by underage boys lol

Women do have an advantage when it comes to surviving illnesses, that's true. That's not the same as being stronger physically.

The reason for this is simple. We used to live in small tribes of up to 150 people. We did this for 99% of our existence as humans. We evolved in these ways because it was essential to the survival of each tribe.

In order for a tribe to survive, children need to be born and they need to survive. Women are the ones who give birth to and nurture young children, who are physically helpless for a long time. This in itself made women too vulnerable for long periods of time. Not only that, but without enough women giving birth to children a tribe would not survive.

That's why nature/evolution led to women having stronger immune systems. A tribe and the children of that tribe would be more likely to survive if the women were not so easily wiped out by illness. They'd also pass on that immunity to the babies through breastfeeding.

At the same time they were physically vulnerable, which is why it was up to men to protect them. The only tribes who'd survive would be those with men strong enough to protect the women and children from predators and rival tribesmen. As well as to hunt large game - which tend to be very big, strong, dangerous animals - and they hunted them with sharp sticks and rocks. That's why men evolved to be stronger physically.

[Succubus-slayer65]

Proof is in the pudding. Professional elite female athletes get beaten by teenage amateurs.

[Bananaman177]

No, I definitely think He knew what he was doing.

I'm wondering why He didn't just make them more rational and responsible. That's the real mystery. If anything, they should be make weaker.

[KatherineJ]

Men are stronger in certain things and women are stronger in others. Men and women are complimentary to each other.

[Sevenpointfive]

that's one part of the scripture that i never got. he made man and woman in his own image yet they're not the same... any christians wanna explain the NIV?

[andreasderjuengere]

If it WERE better... evolution will have seen to it already. Or God, if you want.
Some things are simply the way they are: neither 'good' nor 'bad': they just work somehow.

[Anonymous]

That would be super boring. We're attracted to each other because of the differences in us

[NorthwestRider]

For one thing, there is no such thing as god. Another thing, there are women out there who are actually stronger than men

[Cryptic-Game]

God values the sexual differences between men and women.

[Anonymous]

So men wouldn't have to go through being beat up by their wife like he is.

[serious]

That is a very good question.

[Anonymous]

Women are generally smarter. So there's that.

[Anonymous]

God didn't make anything.
