Anecdote:
I was talking to my fiancee about this, and I asked her how she felt, as a woman. She said she couldn't really give a s*** and can't even understand why someone would get upset over something that trivial. She also said he probably has a point because it would be a lot harder to slide in a dress.
I look at it in a kind of weird way; I find the entire narrative that women are weaker than men to be hilarious, and the ones who constantly push it are the ones who are fighting against it, somehow. Women aren't weaker or worse than men. In terms of physical strength, sure, but I choose to not even entertain the notion that this is debatable and laugh it off as Gibby being dumb. It's kind of like how a lot of gay guys act like huge homophobes before coming out. If you really think Gibbons' comment can be taken seriously, you must think that women are weak to some degree.
And for that, you're a sexist, misogynist pig.
