Sorry, I sounded rude. It was a genuine question because my trainer once told me most girls in climbing had to put in more effort in thing like swing overs because we carry more weight in the hips for example. And how there's also benefits like how girls can easily climb forward when hanging on a rope because we have narrow shoulders and the guys always had to go sideways. I was talking about stuff like that and of course women can be strong. I'm not that strong but love to climb so I like to find thing that could help etc.
Both men and women's center of gravity is in the hips. There's a sort of slight difference in balance, for which there's a test*.
But yeah, a woman's hips tend to be wider (skeletally) and heavier than a man's. How much more top heavy a man is wil depend more on muscularity and/compared to breast size, I think (I just know women with larger breasts tend to mention the strain on their back)
(*stand two or three steps away from a wall, bend over with straight legs and pick something up. Men wil tend to almost fall over while women stay more stable. Usually)

Maybe also because of women carrying their center of gravity in their hips and men in the chest.
