I am heartened when I meet a woman who understands this distinction and doesn’t characterize me as a misogynist or a sexist when I state an obvious fact which is not a “consensus” but an actual, provable fact. Reality will not disguise that fact.
I rarely have anyone on this site challenge me on this, I presume it is politically incorrect to even engage in the discussion of this if you disagree.
But when men and women engage in sports the truth cannot be avoided, even if we can direct our gaze somewhere else. And after we put females in combat roles, we won’t be able to hide from that reality either...and we won’t be able to look away, either.
And the people who pushed it will be nowhere to be found.
One other things that I don’t think is ever really considered- muscle memory-in the sense that once you’ve built muscle mass and strength it’s much easier to get it back later if if you lose it rather than building it in the first place
As a teenager I was strong and healthy but building the real extreme strength was a hard long term process but later in life I could slack off for years and then get right back to near peak in a couple months effort-and I doubt many young women try to achieve maximum strength and muscle mass as teenagers
It’s not exactly on topic but it seems relevant
