Not too sure I agree with this. The job I'm in is one of the more physical ones I think you can find and I don't think physically speaking women have more endurance then men. At all really.
As far as emotionally stronger goes I'd question the references for that too.
I don't know much about Aikido. I do know strength is a MAJOR factor when dealing with any and all physical altercations. In a perfect Aikido (IMO) theory class someone wouldn't need strength and a 98 pound woman could effortlessly control a 250 pound male linebacker.
In reality?
I think you need a blend.
