I get your point, and in general, I think you're right. But it isn't accurate when you are dealing with the truly strongest women on earth. Just for example, take some of the powerlifitng records for women. In the 72 kilo weight class (roughly 160 lb. women), the world-record for squat is over 400 lbs. Most of the average Joes I know who train casually - in other words: for the sake of exercise - cannot squat 400 lbs. Btw, this is the woman that owns that record, Barbara Auva'a: https://snusercontent.global.ssl.fastly.net/member-profile-full/93/3155993_5710788.jpg 160 lbs bodyweight, 400+ lb squat - I don't care if she's a woman or not, that's tough. Of course, that doesn't mean she stands a chance against the average male in combat. We're just talking about measured strength. I don't think the exception ever breaks the rule, obviously. But there are changing attitudes when it comes to women and strength training. You can look around on Youtube and find more than a few women doing impressive lifts. I don't think any women should be involved in combat sports, period. But as far as training one's body (competing with oneself to be stronger), I think it's awesome that women are interested in doing more than just walking on a stairclimber while reading 50 Shades. Go look up Tara Gripton doing 4 doubles on a deadlift of 350 lbs. She competes at 140 lbs. Could you do that?
