Women aren't allowed to exercise and be healthy. Of course.

You see if we allow women to get ripped then fat women that don't get ripped might feel bad. Can't have that.

Obviously, the only reason women are weaker than men is because patriarchal beauty standards stop them working out. Otherwise they'd all be hench.

That is literally an argument that has been made by feminists in the past - that the differences between men’s and women’s performance in sport, eg 100m sprint time and ability to throw a cricket ball, is socially constructed and if girls were able to play sports the same amount as boys, and encouraged the same way, they could compete with them as equals. Yes, they really did used to make the same arguments as the TRAs now make.

There are still feminists who deny the average differences (physical, psychological and preferences) between the sexes - clinging on for dear life to the tabula rasa theory of the social constructionists.

I actually saw one of the best female powerlifters in the sport complain about stereotypes and "who knows how much of the gap (strength difference between sexes) they could close if only women were encouraged to train like men. I was so confused. She IS training at the elite level, she has multiple powerlifting world records and men the same weight as her have 2x her bench. It's NOT a social construct :D But that says something about the level of brainwashing these social constructionists are able to do.
