Do women want to be strong?

I have just read something like this "If women could be weak, they don't want to be strong". I smiled when I firstly saw it without having to give it thought. You probably see a lot of women who look really strong with their appearance. However, I have never seen any women who is as strong in the  inside as on the outside. They always try to hide their fears, their sadness from other people. You can see the smile on their face, but you can't see their tears inside. On the other hand, people believe that women are water and men are fire. Water seems to be weaker, but it is more flexible. For that reason, when women's world crumble, they would cry, however, they would take a deep breath and start again. are they strong? Or do they have to be like that if they want to survive. What about men's world? Are they strong like they act? ( or are they as strong as they let us see?)
