Are girls getting as strong as guys ?

Depends on the load, and where we carry them. We have wider hips than men, which we can carry a baby for a mile without sidestepping. But, my husband can carry one on his shoulders a mile. Look at the majority to make your decision. A guy can easily out strength a girl, when it gets down to all seriousness. When my husband was in the army, he had different exercise ratings than women. He had a shorter amount of time to run a mile, more push ups that he had to do, etc. To measure a man against a woman, you have to make sure they both have the exact requirements.
