The percentage of women that are physically stronger than men is extremely small. Negligibly small.

But also true, men are more violent.

For reference, if you take upper body strength as an indicator for this you see the small amount of overlap between the distributions:

A small % of strongest women are as strong as the weakest "men".

That overlap is the "death by snu-snu" zone and honestly most of those small men would be more than happy for those women to be physical with them
