Technically speaking, the average male is no stronger than the average female. If you compared the genetic and physical structure of the two, their overall strength isn't defined as stronger or weaker. People say that men are stronger than woman simply because the average man does work involving more physical force than a woman. So, in general, the average man physically works more and in turn, generally boosts their strength.

Men naturally have more muscle composition and mass over women due to testosterone and women naturally have more fat, due both to reproductive reasons and estrogen, such as the development of women's breasts, which are made out of fat. The average is supposed to have 5% body fat for men and 12% for women. That means the differences between the two are in muscle weight.

So, based on that, a man will be seven percent stronger than a woman of the same height and weight. It's really not much of a difference, at all.

Of course, the above statement would only be true if the entire rest of a person's non-fat body weight were solely muscle, which is obviously not the case. Even assuming that strength depends only on muscle mass, which it doesn't, and that all muscle mass contributes to strength, which is also not true, average muscle mass for a man is 46%, for a woman it is 33%, so a man would be (46-33)/33=about 40% stronger. A much more accurate way would be to look at actual strength measurements: The American College of Sports Medicine stats for bench press which were determined by measuring a large population sample - the average man in his 20s can press 166lbs, the average woman can press 87 lbs, so the average man is 91% stronger.

Most men seem stronger than women due to weight based off of natural muscle and size.
