well, this answer is not entirely fair, but understandable. the reason why is because as most of you would know that a man is thought to be masculine and strong, and because the male inherits the popular thought of masculinity then he carries it on, as a woman is thought to be feminine and weak due to her bodies incapability of producing chemical's, and hormones that allow her to due the "heavy duty" stuff.
males before puberty can still be strong. it just depends on the persons growth from the nutrition he has been receiving, and the genes and characteristic traits he has inherited from the masculine side of the family. the proteins that are within a males body obviously do not effect the body with full potential because of its immature state. however, once puberty comes, then the maturing process of proteins and hormones occur. with woman, the maturity increases , but in the feminine way and not the masculine way.
the maturing process of masculinity makes you stronger, while femininity makes you more slim, better shaped, more "girly" looking.
And here is the dispute. whether a woman or a man is stronger than the other. its not about maturity, but what the individual has done before the puberty process. a girl can lift 350lbs if she wanted to before she hit 14 years. all she has to do is train, and eat well. that is the way to become strong. and the same for men. except we are naturally stronger, but woman have the same ability to gain strength like men. but if a male is said to be stronger than a female before puberty, than yes that would be mostly true, and the same applies for older ages as well like the adult stages.
even though females gets stronger when getting older like males, they are not as strong. usually not nearly as strong. men are meant to be masculine, and broad( not meaning body types but overall structure of ability anatomy-meaning we are much more able to physical obstacles, besides a females ability to be flexible.).

Boys are slightly stronger overall before puberty, but there's plenty of overlap. The overlap pretty much disappears (almost) after puberty.
As for the above answer, no offense but I think it's pretty ridiculous to suggest that ANYONE under the age of 14 could lift 350 lbs, except maybe in an extremely freakish case--which in no way makes it a generally true statement. I also disagree that women have "the same ability to gain strength as men." Yes, they can become stronger than they are, and yes, some women are stronger than some men (very few), but the critical difference here is testosterone, which makes it much easier for men to build and retain muscle than women.

Do boys have more muscle than girls?
This calls for a pointless generalization. There are many types of strength. If you are speaking of muscular strength, generally speaking, a boy of the same age and size as a girl is reasonable likely to be stronger, but not certain to be stronger. A strong girl will surely be stronger than a weak boy. If you are talking about the strength to resist pain, the strength to resist temptation, the strength to devote oneself to duty instead of doing as one pleases, etc., I know of no definitive studies on those subjects, and they would be pointless as well, since they would not answer the question of whether a particular boy or girl would be stronger or weaker than any other particular boy or girl. The normal male human is stronger than the normal female human. The woman has a pain tolerance that is better than a man.
