Taking out the trash involves lifting something that’s usually heavy, twice. So the person that’s more likely to have the higher upper body strength handling it makes sense.
Massive reach, unless you’re regularly throwing out lead.
Nah, you take one of the 30 gallon cans, stick a bag in it, and it can be a tough lift when full. Not so much because of the weight, though a twenty pound weight isn’t going to be a surprise. It’s the way you have to move to lift the bag out. It relies more on arms and back, so you can’t really use your legs properly.
Without a bag, evena 15 gallon can is awkward to lift and walk with. A bigger one is again a more upper body thing.
Besides, I didn’t say a woman couldn’t get the job done, just that it makes more sense for whoever has the better upper body strength

My garbage is always 40 pounds cause I pack it down wait until well after I should have taken it out.
Nah, think of it positively ~ you’re optimising the amount of trash per bag. For the planet, of course.
