Would like some corroboration here: in the early 1990’s I read that there was a physical abilities study of Army trainees, male & female.

The sample was large enough for the study to conclude that given 100 males and 100 females, that the ten strongest females were only as strong as the ten weakest males.

Anyone know more about this? Real question.

I’m pretty sure that study was done by and/or publicized by Elaine Donnelly’s Center for Military Readiness.

IIRC, it also showed that even Olympic-level female athletes could only compete with the lower 50th percentile of average men in most tests of physical strength and endurance.

Silly girls cutting off their hair isn’t going to matter one little bit.

Regards,
