It must be a rule or something. Just as geek boys will all claim to have genius-level IQ, they'll all claim that strength is super-dooper important, and nothing else is worth discussing.
Strength is the one obvious and quantifiable difference between genders, on the average. It's about as objective as one can get in this discussion. If we can't settle on that, the rest is beyond hope (it may be beyond hope anyway).

As for the rest, I've not seen that men or women have superior agility, health, endurance, pain tolerance, or friends. Who lives longer is a matter of statistical fact; that should be as easily settled as strength should be, with proper data.
