men would most likely lift a pyramid more.

But this is due to men being more prone to phsyical jobs/activities.

Not really. This helps, but overall, it's men because of an abundance of Testosterone (something like 50 times the amount a woman has on average). Testosterone assists muscle growth as a young adult, and then muscle maintenance / atrophy as an adult.

Simply put, we have more of it, ergo we have more muscle than our female counterparts. Most of the studies i saw on it back in the late 90's when i was into this sort of thing reflected that, on average, Men had 31% more muscle mass than women, although interestingly the maximum/minimums were only separated by 16% on the maximum, and 13% on the minimum. Note: usual variance between studies - but the overall pattern was consistent.

Not that it has ANY bearing whatsoever on the debate at hand in my opinion!

If someone is seriously trying to harm you, you should stop them from doing so by any means at your disposal. Sex just shouldn't factor into it.
