I was a weedy kid, not like one of those working-class men who can accommodate not being academically clever by physical strength and prowess.
I was captain and should have set the example. I would lift a minimum of weights. Mine was natural physical strength. I always thought quickness and agility were much more important.
When you punch somebody in the ring, you have to use your whole body. I learned that it's more about technique than physical strength.
And partly, the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.
Being a great horseman does not rely on physical strength but more on the mind and sensibility.
I had no doubts I could go to the pole. I may not be as strong, but I make up for physical strength in other areas, like steadiness and not panicking under stress.
I'm not sure I have the physical strength to undertake a novel.
Physical strength in a woman - that's what I am.
About 10,000 years ago, males and females were acting equitably and were treating one another as equals, and then males took over the power, because they have physical power and physical strength.
Before I became a fighter pilot, everyone said that women didn't have the physical strength. Well, I had just completed the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon.
