Are strong women still concidered feminine?

Well, as long as they have a penis, they're considered feminine. But do they look feminine? It depends: a "strong" woman could still have a slender figure and look sexy. But a female bodybuilder would probably not be aesthetically feminine.\n\nJust my opinion.

I like them, myself. It looks feminine and tough at the same time.

My recent rather sketchy research into this very question suggested that for upper body strength women have about 52 percent of the strength of men on average. For lower body (abdomen and legs) this goes up to about 64 percent due to different muscle mass distribution. This info doesn't amount to more than the fruits of a few quick net searches, but I hope it helps.

They need protection, more women aren't as strong as men.

Femininity and masculinity come with different angles. It is actually the aspects of feminity and masculinity, not sloely the presence of either that makes the attractiveness of a person. Actually these labels are TOO comprehensive and are not person-centered. If one really thinks about it, a drag queen can be a total butch queen they are not painted. I have met a few who are. Also, a guy who likes "guy things" can have some truly "girly" features. In essence there are many hybrids in the gay community just as there are queens and butch men. So, I have to speak from the level that it truly the balance of two people that makes it work and not the ambiguities of external qualties. In our community, they can be overly portayed and very misleading. Therefore its the deeper balance of internal virtues that makes you TRULY appreciate a person, however you must look past what I call "acute attraction" to see them. As always, it takes effort. Yet what i understand is there is a dimmension of experience, needs, emotional wavelengths (as well as change) that makes gay men and lesbian women WHO THEY ARE. These things fit into their "eyes of atraction". What they need is very much different, because as people they ARE different than opposite-sex partners. Although I can find a woman atttactive, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, I can NEVER have the kind of relationship with a woman beyond being a friend, as I do not like to take leadership and would rather be told what I should do. Therefore, for that very reason, I chose a realtionship with an older man who is 25 years my senior and it has proven to work. We have been togther for almost 2 years now. Where I am physically atracted to guys in thier 20s, for the very same reasons, a realtionship with another guy my age would also likley not work for me. Would an older woman guide me like he has while allowing me to help him? I cant say for sure no, but I can almost suspect that the balance would just not be there. It is so much more than whats in the underwear, so much very much more.

In terms of what you are talking about I would have to say yes. The things that happen to the females body during that time do cause the woman to exert some false feelings.

strongest woman would beat the crap out of the weakest man or even an average man...have you SEEN the arms of the strongest women in the world????? they're HUGE...\nthose women really have to work hard at it (if they don't use steroids) because men are naturally stronger and build muscles more easily...so kudos to those women and i hope they kick men's butts in the future...except for mine :)

Every female I've come across is like any civilian you'd meet.  Some are girly girls.  They are usually the ones that no one respects in the military (and my personal bane) then there are the majority who took the job and were willing to fulfill their obligations.  I don't see myself as a tougher than normal kind of gal, but when I'm angry, I've had former drill instructors back away from me!  And I don't see myself as one of the toughest.  There are plenty of females I wouldn't mess with.  I can name more normal females than I can the weak girly-girls, but some how, the girly-girls are remembered and we are all though of that way until we have prooven ourselves otherwise.  But from what I've seen, there's plenty of girly-boys out there crying about how hard things are too.  I'd say we are even in that category.  The females are just remembered better, because there are fewer of us.

The only thing out there to compair with are stereotypes. And as we all know sometimes that can be misleading. \nTake each person individually. I know many women who are strong, assertive, agressive and built solidly, not petite. However on saturday night they throw on a dress, do up the make up and want to be paid some serious man attention. Likewise, I have met and known women who are the opposite of that last example. If it's not too awkward, simply ask the person in a serious and non-accusitory way, in private. And, unless they're ready for you to know, you might not get the answer you expected. When they want you to know, they'll make it known. I didn't find out my ex wife preferred women until after we were married with two kids. Go figgure.

Have you tried asking them out? A confident strong woman sometimes intimidates certain guys but you shouldn't change how you are unless you are disrespectful or verbally abusive. It just takes time and patience. Be open to signs from other people and don't be afraid to make the first move- you may be surprised.

of course it is. When i was in the militry I had a non-combat arms job. Women were available for this MOS and there were women in my unit. However, sad and un-PC as it may be to say but they could not do my job. Yes they could handle the technical and theoretical aspects required but they fell sharply behind on the physical requirements. My team was short handed and every time they tried to give us a new girl we wold politely decline so that other teams could have her. We were always the fastest and technically superior team. I understand that there are stronger women and there are pip squeek guys but these are not the norm. ( JUST ONE EXAMPLE ) from a man who wishes for the best but realizes the truth

Yes, women can, as long as they have a brain.

Simply put, female athletes would not be able to compete with bigger, stronger males. Not to discredit the athletic ability of women. The sexes are built differently and men are favored in the athletic arenas requiring speed, power, and strength (though not necessarily in all sports- ultramarathons).

Yes and no.  It's all a matter of perspective.  If you're looking at physical strength as how much one can bench press or the like, men are typically stronger.  But at the same time, how many men do you know who'd have the physical strength to carry and deliver a baby?  Physically, it's their differences that make them equal.\n\nEmotionally, women are generally more expressive.  Oftentimes, that's considered weakness.  But isn't that a sense of strength to be able to show that emotion?  Men generally are the "stronger" ones who don't show emotion under pressure.  Again, I feel emotional strength is equal between men and women because of their differences.

No, females are strong in many ways and don't need handled with kid gloves at all.  The myth of the weak female that needs protected is just that, a myth.  We are quite strong otherwise we wouldn't be able to give birth.
