Then the quoted section basically says, "if comparing SOLELY strength, ignoring ALL else, the strongest man was as strong as the strongest woman." We know that is false because the male scale has levels above the female scales highest, and the rest of the entrys context consistently shows that comparison is not apples to oranges: Strength x is strength x, for male AND female, though a woman will have more skill than they would have as a man with all skills developed to the same degree.

The dexterity advantage is women only, and is inherent. The section is basically saying that if you ognore knowledge, practice, and other acquired characteristics, and stick to inherent stuff alone, the strongest man and strongest woman are the same.
