The use of the word "average" is important here. In almost every case we know of, many people in any group are above or below the average on various measures as well. In a given marriage, it is quite possible that the woman will be superior to the man in various traits, and/or he superior to her in others. A wife might even be physically stronger than her husband. It is just stupid to deny the maximum expression of all the gifts of God, because a couple insists that the man must always lead. The best success potential is to let both partners use their gifts to the maximum.Yes, I am one. With the exception of average physical size and strength, women are in all other ways the spiritual and intellectual equals of men. Whether it be in marriage, in business, in government, in the military, in society, women should be considered on their merits and not on their gender alone.
No one said that the majority of women are stronger than men. However, it is very true that some men are not as strong as some women, and some women are not as strong as some men. Similarly, some women are better leaders than men, and some men are better leaders than women. We all have different strengths and weaknesses, which are not necessarily defined by gender.If this is true, majority of field workers in construction projects must be women.
An anecdotal story, but one that came to mind reading this post.The use of the word "average" is important here.

I doubt that men are inherently less competent emotionally than women. But there are certainly traditional subcultures where they're not supposed to show it. It's like "women can't do math." They most certainly can, but if girls grow up being told they can't, they often believe it.On the basis of...life??? I cannot in any wise talk to other dudes about how I'm feeling, they just tell me to "suck it up and man up!" But when I talk to women they have an insight that I, as a male, do not have. And if you don't believe in gender roles, then quite frankly, you haven't been reading your Bible, miss. Plain and simple.
