Detachment from and denial of reality aside, this also makes me think a lot of modern men and women have never really exerted themselves physically. Anyone who's played a single day of sports in any co-ed environment could tell you this.On the topic of men being stronger than women...
I work in a very physical field. I won't use myself as a comparison cause I'm a wet noodle but I have a female coworker who is a weight lifter. She can do more than most of our female coworkers.
However I've still seen her need help from the floppy 90lb gangly men, or even the 70 year old obese alcoholics.
She's in as good of shape as competitive athletes but even that doesn't account for some of the natural strength our super out of shape male coworkers bring to the table.
I can't believe people want to deny the very obvious biological advantages.
I was an entirely unexceptional cross country runner, good enough to hold down 6th/7th spot on a decent team that was competitive at state. My times compared to the women's division would have placed me easily in the top five fastest in the state and won me scholarships at some of the best running schools in the country.
Edit to not double post: I found some funny cope that made me wonder just how best-selling an author J.K. is:

First off, her last Cormoran Strike novel won British Book of the Year and the series as a whole has been described as bestselling. Even if she'd never picked up a pen after finishing Harry Potter, though, she would still sit comfortably in the top ten best-selling fiction writers in history, being beaten out only by William Shakespeare himself, Agatha Christie (pioneer of the whodunit genre), and Harold Robbins (pioneer of the modern novel). She's roughly tied with romance-novel machines Danielle Steel and Barbara Cartland, as well as the author of One Piece (the best-selling manga in history), Eiichiro Oda. By any objective standard, Rowling has success that the overwhelming majority of writers can only dream of, and no amount of "HP wasn't that good actually" can ever change that.
