I don't agree with how they define "conservative" but you get what they mean. Those who are stronger are more likely to be opposed to wealth redistribution, those who are weaker are more likely to support wealth redistribution.

Strength was a proxy for ability to defend or acquire resources
There is no link between women's physical strength and political views

Of course this does explain many of the arguments that have taken place in the Symposium over the years.

It makes sence in a primal kind of way. If you are Conan, you take what you want. And people around you are intimidated by your size and potential for violence. So you get your way. A smaller man, less able to defend themselves and thier property whould opt for rules and "fairness".
