Can you spell G force?

Yes, I get that. My understanding is that women may be physically weaker then men, but also tolerate G forces much better, partly because they tend to be smaller as well.

That may,or may not,be correct but we need a source.The best source would be a *former* Air Force,Navy or NASA flight surgeon."Former" because an active one may very well feel pressure to give a PC answer...for obvious reasons.

Heinlein said that in his novel "Starship Troopers". I went looking at actual research, and women had been doing much worse than men at enduring high g's, until they got a special G suit optimized for women, at which point they started equaling men. If, even with the special suit, they EXCEEDED men, I'm sure we would have heard about it.
