See if they had have said:
"I grew up surrounded by tough women"
"I grew up surrounded by women who are tougher than some men"
"I knew a woman who was tougher than most men"
I wouldn't have argued, but as always, they push the rhetoric too far.
Not only was there one woman as tough as "any man" which presumably includes the toughest man alive, but she was surrounded by all these superhumanly tough women! Sounds like a true mystical wonderland.
Women are "tough" in that they will relentlessly argue about anything - check 'em out here. They'll chat to their girlfriends about how they loathe camping and love their wine, heaters and ugg boots, but the moment someone suggests they prefer a comfy home to sleeping in a muddy ditch, they're like a dog with a bone.
Why? Because assuming that a woman can be as tough as a tough man is a bridge too far for you?
Get over it. In most households, it is the mother he holds the fort.
Women learn to be tough when puberty hits and they are inundated with pain and blood.
Women are every bit as tough as men.
Some men and some women go to extraordinary lengths to prove their toughness.
When it comes to toughness, we are equal. In fact i would say that in the average family unit, women prove more tough.
