Men have a slight advantage with upper body strength.This is usually in a military context. Apparently, the implication is that women are equal in lower body strength, aggressiveness, devotion to duty and all the rest.
I don't know about the other (maybe subjective) areas, but I know that weightlifting records show that men can squat far more than women. Men can run faster than women in terms of world records and in terms of averages. Men win mixed marathons, in fact even to the extent that some marathons are now divided by gender, with the "winning" woman getting more prize money than a man who came in far ahead of her.
Women couldn't own property.Sure they could, at least in the Western world. The Domesday Book shows that women held property almost a thousand years ago.
http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/You'll find more men there, but that's because the crude idea back then was that you either defend your land, or take someone else's land. Mostly men did this - and then gave women the title to land (mostly royalty). Kind of like Ivanna Trump today.
What I suspect (in fact strongly suspect since women's studies people are usually dumber than a brick - even doctoral people in this pseudo-subject) is that they are perverting the old legal concept of "coverture". This was the old idea that when a man and woman married, the man had to be informed of the wife entering into contracts and the like. And he also had to sign off on them.
At first, that sounds like really chauvanistic, male-pig type stuff. And then you look closer at the corresponding laws, and you see that men were responsible for all debts of the wife. She wasn't responsible for anything. And people, men and women, accepted that arrangement back then.
If you friggin' think about it, if wives aren't responsible for anything, and if the man has to pay for anything his wife does, then he should be aware of what she is doing. They're also married. Now we've evolved to the phase in which men are mostly responsible for what their wife has done - in a divorce, for instance - but they certainly don't have any say over what she does.
I'm not sure which system is better, but I know that this has nothing to do with "women couldn't own property".
Women can multitask better.There are real jobs in which multitasking is the ONLY job, and there is a huge amount of responsibility with each job that is multitasked. A pilot is a good example. Basically, he is just sitting in a chair, and has to be simultaneously aware of many events and computer screens, and has to simultaneously react to this information.
Most pilots are men. You can Google some information on female pilots in the military, though, who were put into place despite qualification issues - and statistics vis-a-vis male pilots with regard to numbers of crashes etc.
If the issue is whether women can multitask better with idiotic tasks - like talking on the phone with Carol while watching Oprah while dusting, who friggin' cares.
No woman would lie about sexual assault.Look around you for this one. You may not know someone who has been falsely accused of something by a woman for personal gain or revenge, but you can almost certainly think of an example in which a woman lied or manipulated to get something. Men do it too, certainly, but the focus on women here is because of their unique ability to lie about this area.
People - men and women - risk prison to embezzle money, they rob banks, they marry people they don't even like and "pretend" to get money, they scam insurance companies for money - they do all sorts of things. Why WOULDN'T someone also lie if it's easy to do, the stakes are potentially great, and there are no repercussions, or only minor ones, for your attempt. As it is today with this specific area.
-----------------------
These things seem pretty obvious. What is really disturbing is that there is a subject at universities in which all of this crap - and much more - is spread around. That subject is called "women's studies". They don't examine what they are saying, they don't take historical context into consideration, they don't do anything EXCEPT spend all of their friggin' time trying to think about why women are exploited by men. They come up with more and more subtle arguments - and more and more lies and distortions that the stupid general public may believe - while their fathers, boyfriends or husbands are working or studying something useful to pay for them to do this.
