OK, it's fair to question ability with the force for a noob vs someone who's been trained in both the light and dark. But to suggest a woman can't be inherently stronger in the force than a man because of her gender is simply ridiculous. Is there evidence in the SW-verse that the force is typically greater in males than females? Seems to me like the wider SW-verse suggests there's no gender difference. And of course a noob can be stronger in the force than a trained Jedi/Sith they just lack the discipline / skill to weild it. We don't know Rey's parentage so merely because Kylo is the son of Leia and grandson of Vader does not make is impossible for Rey to be inherently stronger in the force. There's speculation that she's Luke's daughter (I don't believe it myself), which would mean that she inherited force powers from the stronger of Vader's children, hence she should be stronger in the force than Kylo.

That said, I found TFA to be a let down, simply being a re-skin of a New Hope. I am hoping for much better things in ep 8. I didn't much like any of the New Trilogy, however I did enjoy the Clone Wars TV series. I am a serious Ahsoka Tano fanboy, and not just because she's hot.

For me.. It has nothing to do with gender.. If it was the other way around.. I would have write "that somehow is almost stronger than a woman" The point is only about the training and what skills we acording to former star wars story, should expext that "person" to be at"

But I give you that we dont know who her parents was, and/or if she was had some prior training in the force, and somehow forgot that.

Fair enough, the wording of your OP seemed like there was a gender element, so thanks for clearing that up.
