if we want 2 we can b as strong as a man..like we could join amateur wrestling,taekwondo nd etc..

Hell yes we can! And if you work for it, you will become as strong as the boys around you.

This is not a valid argument. I can't think of real hard facts that would say one gender is stronger than the other. On top of that, you have failed to describe what kind of strength you are talking about. This is not a bad topic but I just don't see much argument in it. There are weak guys and girls. However, it is safe to say that the hormone differences do tend to lead the men to a higher advantage of gaining physical strength and emotional strength. This may be what you are talking about, but these hormones do not hold girls back. Although, if a girl lifts weight, they will lose many things that make them a female. Just depends on the direction of the debate, in order for me to even try to pick a side.

The individual person is what matters.
Some men are really weak, some women are really strong. You can't base this off gender because there are exceptions.

i think that's sexist.
some women are weak, just like some guys are weak.

but some women are also very strong.

it's not a matter of gender, it just depends on who the person is.

We're all equal; both men and women. It's just that, as said in a previous post, we have our strengths and weaknesses. There's something guys can do while girls can't and something girls can do while guys can't.

Biologically, sure. I can't impregnate anyone and a man can't have babies. But really... name anything that doesn't have to do with the difference in anatomies. I'm sure there is some woman and some man somewhere who has done that thing. And if they did it, it means that any of us could if we really wanted to.

That's pretty much what I was going to say! Some guys can be really weak, trust me, I've seen some of the worst... Most of the time I think girls are much stronger, but maybe that's because I'm a girl and most of the guys my age haven't matured yet. Thinking of adults or older teens... Some girls can be really weak as well as the guys, and some guys can be strong, as the girls can. Everyone has their own weaknesses, so there really is not right or wrong answer.

I think we are emotionally weaker because of hormones, but because we have a higher pain tolerance we are stronger! But as its been stated before, some women are weak just like some men are weak. Its not an all or nothing thing. There are strong women just like there are strong men. We all have our strengths and weaknesses! :3

I agree.  

[Amarah Couture]

I do believe that women are the weaker ones compared to males. Women should listen to their man most of the time, take care of the house, cook, take care of the kids, etc.

Saying 'women' is incredibly vague. We're all individuals, and i can think of several guys who might cry in a movie while i clean my nails, and i often have arm wrestling competitions with people in my class, and there are quite a few guys tha get beaten by girls.

It's a steriotype that women are weak. People get this stupid idea from Dusney movies where the heroic protagonist has to go and save the damsel in distress from some sea monster or evil goddess or something of the sort. People should read Akigami no Shirayukihime more. Males may be physically strong but some women have emotional and moralistic muscles of steel.

That is my opinion though.

We are made to look and act weak by the (dumb) macho men in the world.

You ladies seem to get somewhat offended by the mere suggestion that a man could best you in a contest of strength.

Because people assume that EVERY man could best me in a contest of strength because he is a MAN. Then when we actually have the contests, I WIN SOME OF THEM. People who have wrestled me or engaged me in a contest of strength admit I am strong. People who have not look at me and say, theres no way you could be stronger than a man your size. Guess again.

The true weakness in anyone would be to accept the idea that you are weak without ever trying to be strong at something. If you let someone tell you that that your gender makes you weaker, and you accept it without ever putting yourself to the test, then you are weak. Everyone (male or female) is going to be stronger at some things and less strong at others.

So, until everyone tries their very best at everything and everyone fully agrees upon a set definition of what really constitutes weakness (because different people have different ideas of what makes a person weak), we'll never really know if there is truly a weaker sex.

And if by some chance there is a weaker sex, it wouldn't make members of that sex any less valuable as human beings.
