No. Men just have more muscle tissue. They also have denser bones. But the differences are in quantity, not quality.

Men tend to have much higher neuromuscular efficiency than women. The ability to activate more muscle fibers during contraction. This is mostly due to testosterone exposure during gestation.

Even the fibers themselves are different. You can tell male from female just from the composition.
