But that's just silly. Men and women stand differently, hell the different center of gravity would have an effect too i'd imagine? Even the most basic 'men have more power thing' seems like it could have an impact.

Like it's not even being mean, if you want to do something optimally it's probably different for each and doing it the wrong way could be harmful.

Yeah, they do. Really interesting too! Take a look at this and you'll see the differences in center of gravity at work

It's because a man's center of gravity is closer to his sternum (base of his sternum i think). A lady's center of gravity is lower to the hips. That's why whenever a guy tries to lean forward like that they will definitely fall, but a lady is just fine.

Edit:

Yes. Women in general are at a physical disadvantage compared to men. But with the right technique, men are easier to throw off balance. Women have more advantage fighting more grounded as well since they already have a lower center of gravity.

Really interesting to see it in action! It's not something I'd think about having an effect like that but you can really see it there.

the comments are filled with people who called the trick bullshit. But, they were either positioned wrong to start with or they had readjusted their position. The point the vid trying to make that if they're both the exact same posture, the men are more likely to tip forward.
