I'd say yes physically but mentally and emotionally, there are women who are far superior than men in those categories. And now that it is common to see a wife earning more than her husband, I can say that times have changed. The chauvinist male is gone and the understanding male is here now. A husband has taken off his pride to accept the reality that a woman can earn more than the husband. And with the perseverance, I think women are more persevering.
