What matters is that you tested the bike and it fits. Some WSD designs have slightly altered dimensions that may suit a woman better - but not always. Plus you get a womens saddle, narrower bars, thinner grips, softer fork etc.

Its no weaker than the mans one, just slightly different frame. Owt can break, especially if he rides it like a lemon!
