may be stronger than men inasmuch as her creator made women strong enough to carry her offspring to term for nine months and give birth. Most men I've known get a low grade fever and they act like they've got the bubonic plague and are about to die. Some guys get a paper cut and get light headed from the sight of blood. Can anyone really imagine a man being able to handle menses every moth with the attendant blood and monthly physical changes that accompany that? And for more or less 20-30 odd years? Only to be followed by all the fun times women go through with menopause which can last for a decade?
