Do you think it's ignorant how some people think if you are physically strong, you know what you are doing?

Lot of people think for example because young men are physically strong they can't be manipulated or used. I think physical strength has nothing to do with your mental development.

I'd agree physical strength isn't always a way to judge if someone knows what they are doing or not. But it does take a lot of mental strength to get physically strong. Anyone that workouts will tell you they don't always want to. They need to be able to control their mind. However, just because you know how to turn the TV on doesn't mean you know how to use all the other buttons. Physically strength can help a person look confident but just like you said it's only one part if it. Looks can be deceiving. a lot of the time huge body builders get huge because they lack "brains", they will admit it.

LOL. That's absurd, there's very little correlation between physical strength and wisdom.

We have a saying in these parts for some people who are "Strong like bull. Smart like tractor."

@RandomGirl42 I love that! My dad always had a similar saying, "He's as strong as a bull and about as smart as one".

No more so than tall men being presumed to have leadership skills. It's a fiction we default to in our reptilian brains.
