General Strength is a piece that talks about the inherent difference of strength between males and females and how that creates injustice for females competing in women’s sport. This difference of strength is shown in the funnel where there is around 63 present more blue sand then pink, reflecting the 63 percent more strength found on average for males compared to females. The outcomes as a result of this strength are males taking opportunity from females in women’s sport. That is shown in the blue landing both on top and in the center of the pile of sand.

The “63% difference” between male and female strength is likely heavily influenced by societal pressures. Men experience social pressure to be strong and be competitive. Women don’t experience this social pressure as much, and some actually experience a pressure to NOT be strong. I’ll admit that human males certainly have strength advantage over human females, given the higher abundance of testosterone, which is literally a steroid. But if you look at male/female world records, you’ll find that the discrepancy between male > female world records ranges between 2-12%ish percent. Not nearly as high as 63%.
