Strength and Sex
About this episode
Starre Vartan discusses how cultural factors influence perceptions of strength and sex differences.
Are women as strong as men? According to science writer Starre Vartan, in some cases, they are stronger. She argues that scientific research over the last several decades shows that culture shapes strength as much as hormones — and that much of what we presume about sex differences, strength, and athleticism harms all of us.
