Greater endurance?  Possible.  Stronger?  Nonsense. 

I am convinced you will get similar results just about anywhere in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Gender based violence is largely inflicted on women by men, you guys are making a big deal out of a few sensationalized cases. If women had men's upper body strength violence would be history. Truism of cowards always preying on the weak....

Or just reversed.  They would be beating up the men.  That's why I doubt the authenticity of that claim.  More likely it's just the usual sloppy works we have come to expect from Kenyan journalists.

Power is now more than physical strength. If it was pure physical strength - the black males - would be beating everyone down. But it includes economic strength. Men when they were fending for family - had both muscular physical strength to beat women - and also controlled the food stores. That changed when white man acquired guns - and enslaved the black man to work for him.

Anyway fast forward to 2021 in Kenya - things are changing - women have been empowered.

You cannot beat a breadwinner - who is now increasingly become female. This for educated women.

For rural women - they may be growing stronger - but well the land still belongs to the man - and a woman even if they the strength to overpower a man - will have to think twice before committing what could lead to divorce or separation.

To remain or be powerful - be wealthy. Don't waste time with upper body strength :)

There's foreign agents who have infiltrate RV research with aim bringing down athletic power.

First it was mursik cancer....

Then now fit as fiddle kalenjin man is pitted against obese woman with zero endurance.

They should put money on obesity and similar western problem.

The slim figure had earlier been explained as evolutionary among nilote and cushite to beat harsh hot sahara weather. Then what changed?

Men are getting weaker simply due to poor nutrition and change even in Meru its slowly happening but I don't expect it to get to levels of okuyu and nkalenjini. Meru men brute primitive force keeps women in toe and respectful.
