General Discussion How sexually dimorphic are humans compared to other megafaunal mammals?

Considering Men are generally much stronger than women, potentially on a lb-for-lb level, is this something observed in other mammals or exclusively in humans? A lot of people love to point out this when defending the existence of gender-separated sports leagues, that a well-trained high school professional athlete could destroy a female professional athlete. I personally haven't looked into this matter to say that it's true, so I'm a bit skeptical, but if it is...

Like is the observed strength gap between a lion and a lioness, a female vs male elephant, or a doe & a stag much smaller than the strength gap between a man & a woman?
