First off, the simple answer as to why it's there is because, as Admiral Ackbar would say, IT's A TRAP! She's trying to make you look bad and punching her achieves this, it's whether you fall for it or not, that's the simple reason it's there.

ME universe equal rights. You're joking right. 
Hmm council two males and one female Asari and since there are only female Asari well that's default. Human Alliance leaders Udina male, Anderson male, cannon Shepard male, XO Pressly male, Illusive man male, Wrex male Krogan leader, the admiral in charge of Quarians is male and admiralty board has more males than female. Do you sense a pattern? I could go on and on.
As for this, the council only has one female because Bioware did not have the resources to make female versions of those characters, simple as that. Seriously, have you not noticed that there are no females of any race other than the asari (who only have the one gender) and the Quarians (of whom we only had males show up for the first time in ME2, in ME1 you only see female Quarians and that was because you had a female Quarian squad member)?
As for the human leaders, Udina is a politician not a military man so that has nothing whatsoever to do with it, and his predecessor was a woman. Forget canon Shep, he can be either gender, and was for marketing reasons. Anderson is one captain, possible councillor or admiral in me2 depending on choice made, you'd have been better served by saying Admiral Hackett instead. Since you think captains count then I refer you to the fact that if you take the spacer background your mother Hannah Shepard is a captain in the Alliance and is offered a promotion to Admiralty in ME2 which she turns down. Then there's Ashley Willams, serving in a position where brute strength is even more needed than the other positions needed as a foot soldier.
The Quarians are led by five admirals, not one, Rael had no more authority over the other four than they did over him. The admiralty board had two females and two males (remember Shala-Raan is an admiral, she just didn't get to cast a vote due to personal issues) at the time, and while Tali's father was male(being her father) his successor may not be, and since it implies that Tali might be voted in as admiral that would move the ratio of male to female to the favour of female.
Krogans have issues with their females due to the genophage. The fact that they have formed their own female-only clan which even Wrex has to listen to shows that they hold alot of power.
I too could go on and on.
As to men being stronger than women, mate the average man compared to the average woman isn't that different, and training trumps gender. A trained military person of either gender is going to be significantly more powerful than a civvie of either gender. Your issue should be that a military-trained person of either gender hit a civvie of either gender, not a gender one. Oh, and if we are gonna get 'scientific' about gender differences, it has been shown that women have a significantly higher pain tolerance than men and are more flexible, therefore which gender has the advantage is not as straight forward as you might think.
