Why males pack a powerful punch...males' upper bodies, on average...90% more strength than females...punching motion was 162% greater than females'

according to new research from the University of Utah. Males' upper bodies are built for more powerful punches than females', says the study, published in the Journal of Experimental Biology...

For years, Carrier has been exploring the hypothesis that generations of interpersonal male-male aggression long in the past have shaped structures [as if there was no Designer] in human bodies to specialize for success in fighting...

It's already known that males' upper bodies, on average, have 75% more muscle mass and 90% more strength than females'. But it's not known why.

"The general approach to understanding why sexual dimorphism evolves," Morris says, "is to measure the actual differences in the muscles or the skeletons of males and females of a given species, and then look at the behaviors [not design] that might be driving those differences."

To test their hypothesis the researchers had to measure punching strength, but carefully....

To test their hypothesis the researchers had to measure punching strength,...even with roughly uniform levels of fitness, the males' average power during a punching motion was 162% greater than females', with the least-powerful man still stronger than the most powerful woman. Such a distinction between genders, Carrier says, develops with time and with purpose...

It's an uncomfortable thought to consider that men may be designed for fighting. That doesn't mean, however, that men today are destined to live their ancestor's violent lives...

The study was funded by the National Science Foundation and included additional co-authors Jenna Link and James C. Martin, both of the Department of Nutrition and Integrative Physiology at the University of Utah.

Or “The Matrix” series, for that matter?

I created this graph to illustrate the points, which I employed in opposition to females in combat.

It does appear that our country has made the choice that the negative impact this will have on our police and firefighter is far outweighed by the wonders of diversity. That criminal will not be apprehended by a female police officer (or the direct jump to lethal force will take place, bypassing the physical attempts to subdue) or the female firefighter cannot carry an unconscious man from a burning structure. Those lives, yours and mine, are considered expendable to the cause if DIE/DEI.

And they will soon make that jump to military forces, particularly in the combat roles, and it will be done because we cannot make recruiting goals. (This was all intentional, the inclusion of open homosexuals and females into combat roles, deliberately driving males out.) And the type of men who SHOULD enlist are not enlisting due to this deliberate and in-your-face alienation of them, and the exact people who should NOT be in the military or in those combat roles...are being sought out and enticed to enlist.

Here is that graph that explains the female aspect:

This has nothing to do with women not being intellectually capable of a job. It has everything, when working with average individual and unit capabilities as the military does, to do with the inability to perform jobs needed when going head to head against a foe who does not employ females in those roles.

There are many people who confuse individual capability with average capability or peak capability.

While it is true at an individual level that there may be a female who can physically outperform a given male as Billie Jean King showed when playing against a male who was many years her senior, and not even a particularly good tennis player, on average, this will not happen.

And it isn't an issue of the sexist men keeping the women down. In marathons, women have been given every encouragement and opportunity, and they aren't going head to head with men, but the fastest female marathoner finishes over ten minutes behind the fastest male marathoner. In the Boston Marathon last year, 35 males crossed the finish line before the first female crossed.

And when one reaches a peak of performance, as is found in the populations of US Military Special Forces, unless the physical requirements are weakened or dropped (as they WILL inevitably be) a woman, even one who has trained to her peak and resides at the peak of that pyramid that is female physical strength, will NEVER be able to compete with the men who inhabit the tip of that pyramid. Never.

Hollywood not withstanding.

Yes. See my post just above.

Because the strongest and most aggressive women who tried to beat up men were killed by even stronger men.
Because weaker men who beat up women were killed by other, stronger men.
Because the non-aggressive women who saw the benefits of forming a lifelong bond with a strong man had more surviving offspring.

Could be true.

In the woke world of the liberals...

a battalion of women combat soldiers is capable of taking on a battalion of men in combat, and the women would or could or should win. Nature says different.

But, Wonder Woman is real.

In the real world, women are chatty and men are mighty.

Still some female MMA fighters I would not step into the ring with.

If they’re even biological women to begin with.

Going against God’s plan and creation is what they (leftists, feminists, pro-transgender cretins, etc.) are all about.

They go against God because they believe themselves to be gods.

It has everything, when working with average individual and unit capabilities as the military does, to do with the inability to perform jobs needed when going head to head against a foe who does not employ females in those roles.

But the devil works to pervert all that God has designed and established, as Lucifer selfishly seeks glory, regardless of the disastrous results.Thus while God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) and who condemned all fornication (Mark 7:21–23) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with (see linked page), yet the devil promotes sexually joining together what God has placed asunder.

Yet homosexual relations have been tragically primarily responsible for approx. 80% of new HIV cases among men and close to 800,000 American deaths, though such is not even the decisive reason why homosexual relations are wrong.

And to be Biblical and informed (as i wrote in an answer to Quora) is to recognize that all humans - beginning from conception - are to be recognized as humans, and protected as such, aside from morality once such are accountable, but humans are not equal in all capabilities and constituted, suited, for all the same roles, nor are biological (Y chromosome) males and females, yet both are to be esteemed in fulfilling them.

For one, the women is obviously designed to conceive and bear children, which includes female bones being lighter, and their pelvic cavities broader to support childbirth, whereas male bones are heavier and sturdier.

And after puberty women usually must engage in artificial means (which most US women do for decades) to prevent conception, aside from abstinence and cyclic planning, and are better constituted in nurturing,

Related to this, males produce testosterone and females produce the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, and there are even prepubertal differences even between the cardiovascular systems of boys and girls.

The male is the more assertive, and better suited to be leaders, hunter-providers and protectors in nature, (with a punching motion 162% greater than females), although feminization militates against this.

In addition, in the Bible as well as according to some studies, generally women are deceived more often than men (and seen as easier to deceive. And more likely to trust their counterpart following repeated trust violations than men and also trust females much more than males trust males.)

All of which does NOT make one gender superior to each other, as each have their “strengths” and “weaknesses,” and yet these are complimentary, having a symbiotic relationship, as God has designed them to compliment each other, and beyond the physical aspect.

Are WOMEN PASTORS Biblical?

Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

“Why males pack a powerful punch...males’ upper bodies, on average...90% more strength than females...punching motion was 162% greater than females’”

I guess when a person with an xy gene who declares himself to be a female must have been born without those muscles ... riiiight

“They go against God because they believe themselves to be gods.”

That too. They believe the lies of Satan, now being delivered to them even via the NAR and their “false prophets for profit”.

So they did “research” to find out what everyone in the world knows, and then the article tries in vain to lessen the impact of the truth on the reader.

Science daily is not a scientific journal.

You mean Laura Croft isn't realistic? That all these little girls beating up gangs of burly males is fake? Shocking! Tell me it isn't true! /ssssssss

Worst of all is s gooberment paid study to "learn" these facts.

Yes! The Creator designed the family unit as the building block of society with a child-bearing female the care giver and nurturer; and the male as protector and provider.

And there is a price to be paid for those societies which damage and change the design.

No actual scientist has said there is any *proof* of the theory of evolution. It is very difficult to scientifically prove anything in the past.

Even many basic physical/mathematical concepts we take for granted in the present and can reproduce in a lab infinite times have not been actually *proven* to a scientific standard. i.e. Most people are surprised to know still don’t have a real proof of how a bicycle works.

Both creation and evolution *theories* will likely require some level of faith for all of human history...

That’s true.

This is why men used to be raised up to never hit girls.

At least in an earlier, saner time.
