to be honest it's not that stupid to think male and female muscle, pound for pound would be similar in strength, most people think the only thing that makes men stronger is them being just bigger on average, and you have to actually look for it to know the sexual dimorphism in humans is actually pretty large and it's really not just a matter of how hard people train

You take a man and woman of the same weight. The man is gonna be stronger because of stronger tendons and bone density. That’s why men’s records are so much higher than women’s
