What if we only sent smart physically strong women and just one marginal man with a small and weaker stature (mainly for procreation)? With women having the upper hand both physically and mentally how would Mars turn out?

For a start You would be obligated to send the best suited, ablest and most highly qualified persons to Mars. Not a 'marginal' member of Mankind. If that means Men or Women then so be it. Of course some might put forward the suggestion that a Woman should be first for no other reason other than the fact that She is a Female. Are You proposing that a Male astronaut should hold the door open for Her? The logic of that reasoning escapes Me. But if that is how some would like to prove the ability and equality of Women, then so be it. After all, who am I to argue with a Woman's right to be a 'token' achiever?
Now go and think of what You have done either to, or against the Feminist movement with this foolish question.
Just as an after thought, are You aware that Neil Armstrong was the first Man (civilian) to step on the surface of the Moon for no other reason other than the fact that, whilst Edwin 'Buz' Aldren was the pilot of "Eagle", the door opened inwards and blocked His egress? Ergo Armstrong was in the optimum position to back out onto the steps. How would that senario play with Your submission?

We generally use members of the Armed Forces as astronauts. Of the mission specialists, the highest ranking member should be the first to step on Mars. This is assuming that the first mission with humans aboard is funded by the government. If the highest ranking mission specialist is a female, then she should step first. If the highest ranking specialist is a male, than he should step first.
All female astronauts are physically strong and smart, as are all the men. It's incredibly difficult and selective to become an astronaut, so the premise of sending a 'marginal man with 'smaller and weaker stature' is a little far-fetched.
If women were to be dominant in the first group on Mars, it would be just as professional as if it were all men, or 50% women and 50% men. Astronauts, with one or two exceptions, are incredibly competent, dedicated, professional individuals.
If you want to investigate the 'procreation' aspect, it would be a poor choice to send one male for 'procreation' purposes. Humans are hard-wired for pair-bonding. It'd be better to send compatible couples if you're looking at a colony mission.

The most qualified person should be the first on Mars. Either that or George W. Bush--without a space suit.

Ih, I think I would prefer a society where men and women are equal to one where women have the upper hand.

I'm with the George Bush idea.
At least the other inhabitants would believe his philosophy.
Good luc

Considering it's inhabitable...everyone would end up dead, so I'd say it would turn out bad

Sex has nothing to do with anything.
The sex of the person does not matter.
What a sexist question.
