[sigmapi1501]

Women can pass a watermelon through a keyhole.  I think they win.

[snookems68]

which sex is the weakest and why or why not?

Pertaining to what category? Be specific!

im pertaining to economically or mentally in that sense.

[queenofnines]

"Economically"?  Wha?

[kapeh12]

This sounds like one of those "..so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you." deduction situations.

Well spoken, my friend.  And I, too, will never get involved in a land war in Asia.

And as the black knight said in the Holy Grail - let's call it a draw.

The weaker sex is sex where either participant just lies there without much active participation.  The stronger sex is sex where participants are more actively involved.  HTH

And so are ants!

In all seriousness, I don't believe this "factoid" you are offering.  Many women are shorter than men, yes; however...thanks to obesity, lots of short women weigh as much or more than the average male.  So this "ratio" is way out of skew there.  

Even if a woman wasn't overweight - let's use me as an example - there's no way I'm anywhere close to being as strong as my husband, who has 50lbs. and 5 inches on me.  This is because the testosterone distribution in this comparison is nowhere near equal!

You can compare male and female bodybuilders of the same weight and see that the male can still lift significantly more.  Maybe if a woman only weighed like, 20lbs. and could lift a lot of weight, then your equation could work.

I think that both sexes have strengths and weaknesses that compensate each other in different areas. Women in general can be just as physically strong as men, especially if you are looking at strenghth related to the size of the person pushing the weight.  If you are judging by who has lifted the heaviest weight in any area a man probably has that area locked in. From the view of who is stronger from a mental perspective I don't believe there isan advantage with either sex.

Are you talking physically or their attitude? Mentally I think they are even. If you are talking about attitude then I think it depends. But for the most part i think wemon has us beat on this. Im not saying that they have better attitudes but i think that a mature woman is more firm on her attitude and wont give it up. Physically of course men are stronger. We were just built to be stronger. (not saying there are no exceptions). The strongest man will be stronger then the strongest woman, and the weakest man will be stronger them the weakest woman. (of course exceptions). But a woman that cares about muscle and builds it up will be stonger then a man that doesnt really work at getting muscle.

[devideddi]

I think its more about the indivdual person.

[Irmarie]

This is a good question to start a great debate. But my personal opinion. Both are strong and Both are weak in one way or another, depends on the situation etc.

No doubt!  It seems some chicks take the feminist movement too far and use every mundane opportunity to bash men/claim superiority.
