The size difference is cool, but only girls who have brothers realize the strength and physical difference. It's even a bigger gap. My sister gets freaked out every time she sees me do something physical.
And I'm not even that big, just very strong.
This is why most responsible parents drill "never hit girls" into their sons. I thought it was the peak of gender discrimination back in the day, but turns out they're just trying to keep your ass out of jail, so you don't ever fist bump or body slam a girl as hard as you do with your bros. Heck, I've seen girls sprain/break their hands just hitting a guy.
Honestly, that is lack of training and/or technique. If you hit someone and break your own hand, you should either hit them less hard or it's a life-or-death situation and a broken hand is the least or your worries, right?
Both. How many girls throw hands all the time vs boys, whose entire childhood was one slugfest (for me, at least). When girls hit girls, or boys who don't want to hurt them, it's not very damaging. The former has padding and weak muscles on either side, the latter has a trained professional limiting the damage.
I don't understand the last point. If anyone, regardless of gender, were to punch me, and broke their own hand, I could hardly prevent that, right? Unless by dodging, in which case the punching and hand breaking does not apply at all. I can't make my skull less hard.
The strength gap can be wild.
A while back at work two of my female colleagues were trying to move a full book cart to another wing of the building. There was a bit higher treshold in one of the corridors and they couldn't raise the cart enough to get the wheels over it. I happened to walk by and offered assistance.
I knelt down to check the wheel height and instantly raised the front of the cart with one hand and guided it over threshold my other hand. While still on my knees.
My colleagues stared at me with a mix of awe and horror, having just realized that what was beyond their combined strength was just an easy task for me. And I'm not even a "strong guy".
Also worth noting that men just tend to move heavy stuff more often, so you get practice activating the right muscles and using your leverage efficiently.
My advice has always been for women to strength train. Trust that you will not get bulky muscles accidentally. So many people try to diet and train for that on purpose and never achieve it.
