Doctor, you dirty mind! According to a British research, women are better at reporting and explaining their symptoms to a doctor and seeking timely medical help in case of a health issue in comparison to men, who might get freaked out by the mere thought of getting an injection or simply visiting a doctor. So, women just have a lower muscle mass, not muscle strength, got it? So, unless you want to witness that strength in the form of kick on your rear, stop underestimating the women in life.

Here are 8 scientific facts to put this debate to rest. Often undermined and underestimated culturally, we have got eight scientific facts to prove that women are indeed stronger than men.
Researchers reporting in in the European Journal of Applied Physiology found that men's brawn could also be attributed to a larger cross-section in individual muscle fibers.
And a study in the same journal revealed that men had much stronger grips than women — the difference was so big that 90 percent of the women scored lower than 95 percent of the men. The team also looked at highly trained female athletes who excelled at sports requiring a strong grip, such as judo or handball.
Though these women did have a stronger grip compared with other women, they still performed worse than 75 percent of the men on this task. In general, men are also faster than women. The fastest woman in the world , Florence Griffith Joyner, ran the meter dash in just Yet her fastest time wouldn't have even qualified her for the men's Olympic competition, which requires competitors to finish the meter sprint in However, women may have an edge in some physical tasks.
Because women usually have more body fat and may be better at burning fat as energy early on in exertion, they could have better endurance than men, according to a study in the American Journal of Physiology, Endocrinology and Metabolism. Men have more muscle mass and greater levels of circulating testosterone, on average, which also means they use more energy than women do. And men's muscles tend to fatigue more easily than women's, possibly because women recruit muscle groups to share the load more efficiently, according to a study in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
Still, these numbers may only loosely translate to the battlefield. The push for the integration of women has forced the military to rethink the standards for combat positions. For instance, in October, the Marine Corps instituted gender-neutral physical requirements, some of which were more rigorous than the previous requirements. For instance, all Marines will need to be able to scale a wall and evacuate a casualty, while other combat positions may require specialized tests, such as swimming 1.
However, even with combat positions technically open to women, don't expect instant or even long-term parity between the sexes, said Agnes Gereben Schaefer, a senior political scientist with RAND Corp.
