The average adult can't lift 18kg with one arm, even with improper posture? That's pretty sad if true.

The average parent can definitely lift 18kg with one arm, that's the weight of a 3 year old...
More than half adults are women, a third live in Asian when the average weight of an adult is 58kg. You have strong bias.
Average adult would include women, which are much weaker than men. It is sad if it applied to just men.
With one arm? I’m not sure, but with two arms certainly most women can do it.

18kg is the average weight of a 5 year old kid [1]. It’s pretty routine for women in childcare roles to pick up kids for various reasons.
