I read somewhere that for some reason grip strength is one of the only muscle groups where the Bell curves of male strength vs. female strength has essentially zero overlap. It was something like “the weakest 2% of men have stronger grip strength than 98% of women,” or maybe even more extreme. IDK, I can’t remember the source and I can’t be bothered to look for it on a Saturday morning, but I thought I’d throw it out there anyway. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
I was way too lazy for that when I did it, but I can tell you that I googled “grip strength men and women” and found some interesting facts. Not exactly what the original comment said but very fascinating nonetheless.

I hand my rock climber sister in law jars to open all the time lol
You’re both in your respective 1%
Well crap. Now I want to train my grip strength.
Here’s a source for that claim. I didn’t realize the difference was so huge! https://www.gnxp.com/WordPress/2017/05/04/in-grip-strength-a-woman-in-the-90th-percentile-would-be-at-the-10th-percentile-for-men/
I looked it up. It’s pretty interesting! I suggest others Google it as well.
No links? ☹️

Edit: here’s one of the results which I cannot speak to the legitimacy of.
If women had the same grip strength as men, there’d be a lot more penile injuries in the world.
Imagine if they could control it.

It’s because we’re always grabbing things. Our own dingalings, boobies, booties. Werkin that grip.
