You can lift it, great, fantastic. Now block as that 6'7 Scottish/viking/mongol warrior swings his sword at you.
This isn't like guns where so long as you can handle recoil you had an even chance, unless the woman compensated by being extremely dexterous and fast to avoid a head on strength engagement, she was fucked as most men struggle against those odds.
On that note about spiritualism, that's why I love this guy as he took all those Chinese 'masters' and beat the shit out of them with MMA
These feminists are the ones that would employ marching at an enemy when they are in trenches with machine guns and barbed wire than adapting and either trying to just evade being bogged down in that or counting it with tanks.
In the case of the rapier and fencing this is quite possible. Using spring steel, you can redirect your opponents strength into an attack on them by using angles.
This is why the pasty inbred nobles could win in a fight against much stronger opponents.
As an aside, in many historical fencing duelist eras, your offhand held a flintlock pistol. That would also probably even the scores.
Hilariously enough, you can actually put this to the test with decently realistic physics in the game Examina.
It's animations are based on procedural physical movements, and the weapon handling is based on the weapon mass, while the strikes and damage are based on the height/weight of the character + mass/design of the weapon.
You probably already know where I'm going with this, but that game completely changed how I view medieval combat. It's like a realistic version of HEMA. That is to say, I made a large, hulking warrior typically using a bardiche or flail. There are also women in the game.
100% of the time I just steamroll the women, joustle them and knock them over and while they're getting up simply crush their skull. Given that actual physics affect the weapons and character balance, the results when you pit the men against the women almost always has the same results unless the women are using polearms and effectively zone their attacker. It's hilariously brutal when you use a warhammer and one-hit crush their skull through their shield because the females don't have the strength to block an attack from a behemoth of a man.
