scientifically...yes!!..male's physical strength is more powerful than female's, because male's muscles are stiffer and stronger(along with other scientific explanations)...but i don't agree with you about the brain and IQ...these things aren't connected with the gender...all humans have the same brain structure...but how they develop their mental abilities, smartness, and IQ...is sth that depends on how a person USES his/her brain whether this person is a "he" or a "she"....

If you were to look at all of the studies comparing intelligence between the 2 genders then you will find that that there is no proof that men are any more intelligent then women. Men tend to be more analytical and mathematical than women, but this is thought to be due to teachers grooming men to do well in math and science, while grooming females to focus on langauge. Teachers are starting to change how they teach, however. As for strength, you are correct that males as a whole have more physical strength and muscularity than females. Here is the reason why. Women are designed to give birth to babies, and in order to successfully do so they have to have the correct balance of hormones. Hormones contribute to more adipose tissue - fat, which is used as a source of energy a woman needs during pregnancy and after when she is breast feeding (breast feeding uses up considerable energy and burns fat). Not all women breast feed but my answer represents the biological rationale.

First of all, I would question your assertion. Do you have any documented proof of this, i.e., that men's brains, IQ's and "strength" (whatever THAT is) are superior to women? I doubt it. Not from a reputable source, at least. That is not to say that men's and women's brains are not different from one another. However, equating difference with inferiority is a significant error in logic.
