Anonymous Confused about this muscle/height thing. I'm a woman and I lift weights for exercise. I was raised with a brother who had a small appetite and ate less than I did. He still grew up to be a foot taller than I did. In addition, despite the fact that I lift weights, he has an easier time putting on muscle with the same exercises- it takes me longer. All the pets I've ever had- the males have just been bigger overall. How could this specifically be patriarchy if it also applies to dogs?
