You realize that there's more difference between your average man and your average woman than between your average NFL linebacker and your average man, right? (seriously, compare the stats some time - height, average bench strength, etc).
This is almost certainly wrong, by the way.
Have you ever watched draft combine footage? Those linebackers do 20 or even 30 reps of 225 lbs like it's nothing. Some linemen have a one rep max of 500 or 600 lbs. 400 lbs is common.
I don't know what the average man and woman can bench, but NFL linemen are insanely strong. One could easily pick me up and throw me across the room like a ragdoll. I could not do the same with my wife. I could pick her up and put her over my shoulder or something, but there is just no comparison to an NFL lineman.
I understand well that men are stronger than women on average. No dispute there. I just think that a lot of people don't realize just how insanely strong NFL linemen are. This is a huge part of why football is so dangerous.
