When Males Surpass Females?

Puberty. Around 13-16

That's what I was thinking. Some 12-year-old boys are extremely strong, but they're rarities. It's not all that rare for girls to be bigger and stronger than boys at that age, though. Boys shouldn't complain about being weaker for a few years because they have a few decades to be much stronger.
