physiologically men are stronger due to evolution (or at least adaptation) coupled with the division of labor. During the ancient ancestral period. You know the one where we lived in caves. We humans had a hunter/gatherer society where in women stayed closer to the caves and gathered nuts and berries while the men went out farther to hunt. This division happened because men are less important in the fulfilling the physical survival needs of children. As you can imagine hunting saber-toothed cats and woolly mammoths with axes and spears is something that requires some level of strength. Thus the stronger males were more likely to be successful hunters which made them more likely to survive and reproduce. So since men who were strong were more likely to pass their genes on to the future the successive generations of men are stronger.

Not necessarily true. Men are physically appear stronger probably because they work out a lot more than women AND also common people have a preconceived notion of men's picture perfect that male supposedly to be stronger and more protective than female. Our society certainly have a stereotypical idea that men must and should appear stronger, substantial and vigorous all the time more than women or if not you would be considered as a social freak or someone to be feared.
I know many women who are stronger than men even they often do men's duties in their lives. In Bali, Indonesia.... I saw and noticed that women do work as carpenters. Amazing. And in this western world, we all know Madonna who always acting like a gender breaking all the time.

Because God wanted things to be even between the sexes. Men are physically stronger but women are emotionally & mentally stronger.

Because the hormone testosterone casues the male body to grow greater muscle mass and bone mass than does estrogen. Women who take the hormone Testosterone from puberty grow just as strong as do men.
That said, women who work out can be very strong. Pound for pound, I would put any man up against any competetive gymnast. These women are incredibly strong. When my daughter was competing, I remember a push-up - a - thon that the group had as a fund raiser. One girl did over 400 push-ups in 60 minutes. This was full push-ups, and not the "girl-style".
Testosterone may create mass in average men, but women can still work hard and become strong.

because of G-D: the man shall rule over his wife. but then do not confuse a limited amout of instataneous power as the only measure of physicial strength. since since women are given with sufficient physicial strength of endurance to keep up with them.
but it is only the matter of G-D'S spoken words actualy causeing this distribution, during the creation process. G-D could of just as easily said it the other way around, giving women with everything a man could want, including a beard muscles and a mustach.
so it is just a matter of TheActual Power of G-D'S Words spoken by G-D.
