A setting question

[The First One]

How do you feel about stories set in a world where it's normal for women to be the (much) larger and stronger sex?  I'm thinking of doing a series of short stories set in one.

Its a good setting. The only thing is there needs to be a motivation or reason for the strength and size. I think LaPorte Caves did a good job on that front
(Note: not a torture or violence type fan with those stories) developing the reason why the women were that size and the men were their size. Overall so long
as there is a detailed and believable 'why' and not "the grass turned purple, so that why women turned huge" it can be a good setting.

It's an Ok setting for stories, but what would the plot be if the women are already huge? And would this be in one of your established universes like Foster Care or Jake and Tammy?

I am not sure there needs to be a motivation or why other than that's the way things are genetically.  In that world it is natural for women to be larger and stronger due to their genetics.

Personally the growth is most of the excitement for me, so I tend to skip these types of stories.  However, if it's an author I'm familiar with and enjoy, I'll give it a shot.
