relative strength of men vs. women
Today I read this interesting article about why "men are strong, women are weak" does not universally apply.
Shield Maidens, Bell Curves and Strong Women - R. J. Eliason
When people say things like men are x% stronger than women, many of us have this image of lining all the men and women up side by side. And the men will all lift x% more than the woman next to them. But that’s not how it works.
