I'm not interested in debating this particular issue, but clearly a reasonable argument could be made based on the disparities in physical strength.

What makes the broader context interesting, however, is that issues like these demonstrate that principled egalitarianism is not a viable Schelling point for basing social norms. This however clearly leads to some very problematic questions.

It is far from "clear" to me that such an argument would be reasonable.
