"...where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."

If all the children are of the same ability, then they are all (weakly) above average.

Suppose that all the children are of ability 2 except Bob, who is only of ability 1. Then all the children except Bob are strictly above average.

Have you ever heard humorous observation that 90% of drivers think that they are better than average? The statement is potentially true, if there are a few really horrible drivers.
