Don’t undermine the physical strength of women

What exactly do people mean when they throw these statements that girls are stronger than boys? Are these words truly limited to the female body, or do they extend to the degradation of the female identity, encouraged as it is by a history of oppression?

Usually when making this argument, people mention that scientific studies show this hypothesis to be accurate, so let's delve right into it. What does science tell us?

The decades long belief that boys are more physically stronger than girls took a u turn. The Canada based waterloo institute scientists denied it saying girls defeated boys in the test conducted to examine their physical strengths.

The report says that girls breathe in oxygen 30 percent faster then boys and tend to sustain the physical pressure compared to them. The test was done on a tread mill for both boys and girls, where girls succeeded to remain doing it with less stress on their body.

“Pretty much at every age, women seem to survive better than men,” says Steven Austad, an international expert on ageing, and chair of the biology department at the University of Alabama. For almost two decades, he has been studying one of the best-known yet under-researched facts of human biology: that women live longer than men.

His longevity database shows that all over the world and as far back as records have been kept, women outlive men by around five or six years. He describes them as being more “robust”.
