for the gp essay, define "weak" first loh. then go from there.
cos it all depends on how u define weak.
if we compare women in the past and women now, and we say that
women in the past are weaker, most likely we are thinking of
financially dependency. so if u go that direction, and argue that
women now are "weaker" than men cos they still dun get that same
amount of pay for the same work, it sounds fine also.
but if you're talking about ability to support oneself, then i say
the odds are equal.
