Distance swimming (i.e. English Channel) Auto Racing (not strength,true. But coordination and guts) Carrying packs, water and children (Stuff carried on the hips). And both rowing and trimming sail take upper-body strength. You know, I don't mind doing the heavy work, as long as I'm not trying to carry 70% of my body weight up 3 flights of stairs. I'll let that fall to the people for whom it's only 40%. (But then I've not been much of one to talk a lot about feminism. I've just done what I wanted, even if it's something 'traditionally' a 'man's job', and encouraged other women to do the same. p.s. My husband does most of the cooking and laundry around here, and mops the kitchen floor more often than I do. My son and daughter both do stuff based on what needs to be done, not on gender roles.)
