I recall many years a group arm wrestle competition we all got into.
Men and women, we were all having fun.
Without exception, every single guy beat every single woman. And usually easily.
I’m genuinely surprised by your statement.
I also do pilates regularly. I’m a pretty avg size guy. I’m higher in strength setups (springs, angles, etc) than nearly everyone there, except the other men.
I would say the women in my class are incredibly strong. They have excellent muscle development, and compared to non fitness folk, are almost intimidating.
But, by and large, they’re not as strong as the men in the class for raw power.
The maximum output of a person with testosterone is higher, but funnily enough going on MtF HRT one of the main focus is to reduce the levels of testosterone, in fact in most tests trans MtF athletes have lower T levels than cis female athletes
That is an interesting one.

Where are you seeing what you’re describing?
It’s almost like cultural factors discourage most women from growing muscle, but encourages men to gain muscles
But that would be impossible
