So, the Nord women are strong and can rip you apart, in fact, women of all the races can be really strong and dangerous, however, they don't look like it.
The men in the game look really strong but the women look more like fashion models having a shoot with medieval armor. I know it's not a big deal but I can't help myself having a bit of a laugh when these female bandits come running towards me.

See what I mean?
PS. My last thread got locked because people thought I was trolling, I hope you can see that I am not trolling at all but pointing out something in the character design that looks very wrong. Skyrim is great though, even with this flaw.
On your first picture, the foto of the strong woman...is she nord, or homo sapiens sapiens? Because the first is a fantasy subtypus of a human and the second is reality. Don't confuse these two, it happens easily.
