I guess that would be a very lame line. It should be changed to "Men should work on their weaknesses, woman proud of her strength. We should always be thankful for what God has given us.

I think this was true in the past but is becoming less so now. It used to be considered a weakness if men showed their emotions by crying but now it is often admired as being sensitive. It was expected that the man would 'rule' within his own home and the 'hen-pecked' husband was a figure of ridicule but now, as more women are in paid employment and attitudes have changed, they are not expected to be subservient so there is greater equality and shared responsibility. I think the attitude shown in the comment has given both men and women the incentive and power to be accepted as they are instead of being pressured into conforming to what used to be the stereotype.

Well, I totally agree with him because so many people
are intimidated by strong women ,and they usually expect
men to show strenght. In other words, men cannot be weak
,but is okay for women to show weakness.

The statement may be true. To apologise is let ones ego down the drain. It is said that it is easy to forgive than to ask for forgiveness. When we forgive there is an element of ego which makes the person feel superior to the one who has asked forgiveness. But when it comes to ask for forgiveness the ego takes a great blow to its pride and thereby it is very difficult to ask for forgiveness. Males are known for their strength and women for their beauty throughout the centuries. But there are some traits which are predominantly found in women and not in men. The men think is turns of practicality but women try to understand the sentiments behind any statements.
When it comes to endurance men are always better than women. So maybe women need to be sorry for not carrying out tasks which require physical power. But for men it can be other way round. They might be sorry for not having those skills which are predominantly found in women.
Therefore I think the statement made is fairly accurate.

I don't know if this really appeals to the era we live in anymore. At one time I can see that, but now I can't. Both sexes should apologize for weaknesses (then work on them). Strength is not a down fall unless it's followed with pride.
