Oi, children 
You cannot compare men and women. That's like comparing bananas and golf clubs. There may be some parallels but they are not enough to draw any conclusive theories from. All these boneheads trying to make comparisons are wasting their time because everyone's unique and it's the lifetime of a person that makes them who they are, not their sex. The sex of a person plays only a minor role.
If you want to talk about averages, yes, men are physically stronger than women on average. Thus, on average, men are superior to women in overall physical strength. However, how many men do you know who know how to sew a hem? Or even know what a hem is? How many men do you know who know the difference between bundt cake and angelfood cake? Unless that man's a baker, his knowledge of the two is probably going to be limited to "how each one tastes", if he even knows that much. You could use this to say that women are smarter than men, but it wouldn't be true. It's all individual.
And yes, medical science has been able to prove that a man's body IS capable, with tremendous modification, of giving "birth", and even allowing a developing fetus. It's also been proven through medical science that male sperm is not required for the creation of an embryo (again, takes a hell of a lot of modification). Neither side has weight anymore, and I'm glad.

I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.
