Women are “the weaker sex”. If you’re living in a male-dominated world that just coincidentally happens to define “strength” by things that men happen to be good at.
But it turns out there’s quite a few important ways in which women are the physically stronger sex…
Strong is a word, made up like all words, and has multiple meanings like most words.
If someone said “that person is so strong” you couldn’t say without context if they mean that that person is physically strong or mentally strong. That sentence can apply to a person fighting cancer just as much as it can apply to a person fighting in the ring.
To me when someone says that a person is strong it does not immediately imply physical strength, so I don’t think you are right about your position.
It can have many meanings, in this context however the meaning is clear for everyone. This article is just clickbait for the sake of it. It’s like Jordan Peterson in his “debates” “what do you mean by … ?”
You can indeed start a semantic discussion about every word, as language is very complex. But in some contexts, like “the stronger sex”, everyone knows what it means. And i don’t see any value in redefining it, rather than just being informative and saying “but strength of this type isn’t everything, this is where the “weaker” sex excels”.
I just don’t agree with you on the fact that “the stronger sex” is so cut and clear. But I understand your point.
