In the real world, 99% of women don’t WANT to be strong and muscular. Really, they don’t.
People often don’t pursue things they crave because it’s socially taboo, or taboo in their family. A big chunk of the human race craves power, and I’m not convinced either that the desire is very much less among women than men, or that the physical manisfestion of power (strength) is itself less pleasing to women than men.
Women want strength, too. Increasingly it’s considered acceptable for women to pursue "strength", but there’s a lot of stigma against muscle. I think it’s fading, though.
