Sex definitions matter in every focus of sentient beings, in every aspect of their lives. To the extent people cannot grasp this at any moment of time, you have a ready gauge of the extent of delusional orientation in any social order. Define it how you will; stand on your head or hang from a tree; the continuity of any advanced species depends upon our sexuality.
That is even more significant than the pipe dreams of Academics, grasping fantasies from the clouds.
I was in one of the first co-ed basic training companies in 1994. The girls couldn’t handle the constant loads and stress. Even the ones who wantrd to be hardcore, would wind up with a stress fracture or sprained ankles.... And we guys had to carry their rucks. One good thing- they could clean a lot better than us guys.
“Women lack the upper-body strength that men have.”
Bottom line, any policy that comes out of Washington that isn’t making America a more fierce and feared fighting force is simply BS and it is pure liberal nonsense — Pure and total BS!
In all my life I’ve never seen so many women reject femininity, and of their own accord, no less.
Likewise, I’ve never seen so many females in various walks of life this unhappy either.
Maybe it’s just a coincidence.
Women DO NOT have the upper body strength of males. -
Over 20 yrs. ago, a retired Army officer stated that when
his outfit got the bugout signal; they were unable to load
the heavy medical equipment on the trucks, so they were
never able to bug out. Majority women in his outfit.
bkmk
The Israelis discovered this early on and while they draft ALL youths, women are not allowed in combat. The rationale has to do with the size and shape of the country. It only takes one defeat to have the enemy in your street and the men are all at the front. The women will have to protect their homes. They all need to know how to shoot military weapons and not fear them.

It's no coincidence.
Read this in 1991 after the Tailhook scandal:
Given 100 males & 100 females of the same age & relative fitness, the ten strongest females are only as strong as the ten weakest males.
“It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature”
Those remote controlled firing turrets on the border with Lebanon are all operated by IDF female soldiers.
So if Omar & Achmed get greased by a remote fired .50 cal while trying to infiltrate, they won’t go to muzzie paradise because they were killed by women.

That works. The downside is that a few of them have been captured.
Your post runs to one of the roots of the problem, in my opinion.
Everything about the military has to do with averages, covering everything from what you can expect physically from people under extreme conditions of privation and stress, to medical care, to the right kinds of supplies that have to be delivered in the right quantities, to the right places, at the right time.
And this isn’t even addressing issues such as unit cohesion and the adverse effects on mission capability in mixed gender units.
When only one gender is involved, there is a general bell curve that covers many aspects from unit performance to supplies consumed.
When there are two genders, that bell curve looks more like a two-humped camel curve, and you have to adjust logistics and unit performance to cater to the lower of the two curves, unless you are fully prepared, in a critical combat situation, to simply abandon the performance restrictions of the lower of the two curves so as to preserve the functionality of the inhabitants of the higher curve.
