I think the better term is CAN be. Men can be stronger than women, women can be stronger than men. Though different chemical/hormone levels within the body can give one person an edge over another, overall endurance and strength is definitely more dependent on the amount of effort put into training toward said attributes than physical sex, plus a healthy lifestyle with the appropriate diet helps.

We are all good at some things. There are cases when I'll be doing something strenuous and a girl may beat me out at it, and I'm complete okay with that. But talking specifies here the female body doesn't build mass as well as the male body does and it's not as athletic as the male body is. [spoiler]What people don't understand is that no matter what body you have, you can mold it and give it form and strength. After all "Science gave you the tools but you are the sculptor".[/spoiler]

And that's my point exactly. I'm not stating that factors such as gender or genetic makeup are entirely irrelevant, because that's simply not the case. They are relevant and do have an impact, my point is that a person's strength and endurance are [i]primarily[/i] going to depend on the level of physical training that the body is subjected to in relation to these traits.

So these 15 yr old boys trained and ate better than a national women's soccer team.

I'm speaking generally, not referencing this specific case.

Gender helps too.

I didn't say that it didn't, all I'm saying is that a person's strength and stamina is primarily going to be determined by their level of physical training. I'm not completely dismissing other factors such as genetics, gender, or hormonal/chemical balance.
