Basically, the women's strength cap fails the realism test; an absolute limit on strength likewise does, but it has less impact on the fun of the game.
Dont most weight lifters overspecialize in their one specific aspect of strength in order to reach those limits though? As opposed to an adventurer, who would be more well rounded by necessity.
