As a Man I hate to admit that Ladies are the stronger sex, maybe not physically in most cases, mentally more than a match.  If Men had to give Birth, most families would only have 1 Child.

Women might in general have less brute strength, but I often find they have more endurance power and sometimes that counts for more.

I've always had more endurance ability myself. No, I can't bench press much of anything, but I can bike and hike for hours and hours without tiring and I know that some of my more muscular friends wouldn't be able to do that.

Women gave their lives for the right to vote.

Woman fault for maternity leave..

For equality in the workplace.

For the use of contraception.

For the right to maintain their citizenship if they married a foreign national.

They were essential in getting us through both major wars.  One of the hardest jobs in the WAAF was the operation of balloons sites. This involved raising and lowering the barrage balloons, which were designed to deter enemy bombers. There were doubts over whether women would have the physical strength or stamina as the balloons were 66 feet long and 30 feet high when inflated. But so successful were the initial volunteers that women eventually ran more than 1,000 barrage balloon sites throughout Britain.

Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) came into being with the formation of the Royal Air Force in April 1918. However, in 1920 the unit was disbanded, along with the other women's services. The Women's Auxiliary Air Force was formed in June 1939 when war seemed imminent again. Some members of the WAAF with particular skills transferred into the Special Operations Executive and were trained as agents to be sent into occupied Europe. One of these was Noor Inayat Khan, originally from India, who was sent to France as a radio operator for SOE. She was arrested by the Gestapo and eventually executed in September 1944.

The ATA duties included delivering new planes from factories to RAF units and shuttling planes back for repairs. All ATA pilots were civilians, as the RAF thought it unacceptable to have women pilots flying military aircraft. Initially, members of the WAAF were recruited to fill posts as clerks, kitchen orderlies and drivers, in order to release men for front-line duties. However, the occupations open to women recruits diversified as the war progressed. Women in the WAAF were involved in telephony, telegraphy and the interception of codes and ciphers, including at the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park. They were mechanics, engineers, electricians and fitters for aeroplanes. They undertook the interpretation of aerial photographs and provided weather reports. Many members of the WAAF worked in the radar control system as reporters and plotters. Their work was vital during the Battle of Britain and later in guiding night-fighter aeroplanes against German bombers.

On January 24, 2013, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that the military would finally lift the ban on women serving in frontline combat roles, overturning the 1994 rule that limited the roles for women in the armed forces to units below brigade level away from direct combat.

In November 2012 four women soldiers sued the U.S. Department of Defense because of the inequality of constraining women from serving in the front lines. The reasoning was that more than 280,000 US female soldiers had been sent to Iraq, Afghanistan and neighboring countries, and 152 of the 6,600 of US fatalities were women, proving that there is no real difference between front- or rear-lines once troops are deployed. The plaintiff soldiers argue that the combat exclusion policy was unconstitutional; that it was based on outdated stereotypes of women and ignored the realities of modern warfare; that women who are serving in combat zones were denied recognition that would advance their careers; that it violated a Supreme Court ruling against government mandated sex discrimination without extremely persuasive justification; and that the policy denied women a “core component of full citizenship.”

One of the biggest dangers women in the military face is sexual attacks from male members of their own service. In 2011 there were 3,192 reported cases of sexual assault (the number unreported cases is unknown). Certainly not caused by any women's weakness.

Girls are not weak I'd describe them as 'delicate' :) 'weak' is insulting if you ask me.

Generally speaking no. There are some women who are weak, but you better take care if you are near them when they find their strength. They will use that strength with a vengeance.
