i thought it was common knowledge that man, on average is stronger than woman due to greater muscle mass. Of course, this is only physical strength and some woman can be stronger than some men. On average however, Men are the stronger of the sexes.

It is quite obvious that men are physically stronger, on average. Most men who DON'T workout are stronger than women who do...that's anecdotal evidence on my part so you can take it as opinion.
Stronger willed???? Damn...depends on what it is..I would have to say that women are stronger willed.

Same here. Most girls.. work pretty hard to get something if they want. Guys will be just like "Eh, tough luck for me.." and sit down and drink a beer.
Funny, I was just reading an article by Carey Roberts addressing the notion that women for the most part are inherently better (in terms of virtue and things of that nature) than men. Best to get a word or two in before this thread gets derailed, so I'd agree with TRH.
This is an interesting piece I pulled off of the net.
"If research is to be believed then the answer is no! A study published in the British Medical Journal states that men are "fragile", and have this trait even before they are born. The study acts as a follow up to the many studies conducted earlier that state that boys are biologically weaker than girls in the first few years of life.
"The human male, on most measures, is weaker than the female", the study quotes. Though the biological weakness of the male child is fairly well recorded, it is not that well known. Most people still think that the male child is tougher than the female and thus treat him as such. Research on the other hand shows the opposite. Medically, the ratio of conception of a male foetus to a female foetus is almost 120:100. However, at the time of birth, it is seen that the ratio drops down to 105:100. This means that more boys die before being born than girls. And this fact does not stop at birth; male mortality is more than female mortality throughout life. Developmentally also boys lag behind. "A newborn girl is physiologically equivalent to a 4-6 week old boy".
But the study says that all can't be blamed on biology. What compounds the problem is the society and culture. Most societies treat boys differently than girls. It is seen that parents and other care givers are more likely to cuddle and hold a crying baby girl than an infant boy. The reason cited for this is that boys, right from infancy, are expected to be stronger and less expressive than girls. Parents often may be embarrassed about cuddling a baby boy, whereas in reality, he probably needs it more than his sister.
This difference spills into a boy's later life as well. Boys are more likely to have learning disabilities in school, suffer from hyperactivity, autism and speech disorders. During adolescence, more boys are likely to commit suicide and get into violent episodes than girls. Emotionally, boys who do not express themselves are weaker than others. Since most cultures discourage male expression of feeling, boys are more at risk for emotional upheaval than women.
According to the study, men die earlier than women all over the world. Maybe the time has come to throw the adage "boys will be boys", out of the window and alter the meaning of the 'weaker sex'."
No, those women are stupid because they think they do. They want to say it's a matter of mind, when it's really just a matter of pussy. And that fact is certainly placed squarely at the feet of men who subjugate women and think they are paying them a service by thinking they suddenly deserve some credit for being the weaker half of the species. Well, every aspect of our species deserve credit, based on their equal contributions to our survival.

All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
But the life grows within the woman, all the man does is shoot his load.
