Some are, some aren't

I can name you way too many examples where the exact opposite is the case. Obviously you're pushing a button and of course you have a bit of a slant on the subject. My guess is, once the statistics are in, it's pretty much a tie.

Your use of the word "strong" is obviously talking about the complete definition of the word being more than the number of muscle fibers which men would win hands down. Strength of character and emotion is certainly part of the big picture and any student of human nature can cite numerous cases where command of those traits is pretty much divorced from gender.

Were I to reference my own little world, the men would probably have the edge since the women in it are a bit flaky when stress hits. Great individuals in certain aspects of life but not the type you'd rely to suck up their insecurities and make all the right choices on when life hung in the balance.

However, I know families where the exact opposite conditions exist.

I'd sure like to challenge you with a completely polarized view of your theory but I'm afraid all I can come up with is a centrist outlook. Damn, does that mean I'm weak?
