I wonder if the Israeli military has this problem. They have had women in their army forever. I think the guys should just accept that women are there and that they are going to stay. Some women are stronger than some males. Not everyone is a Mr. Atlas, ya know.

Israel's military took their women off the front combat lines decades ago. They tried it, it didn't work and they had enough sense to realize it.

They are actually in the process of abandoning the idea. Even though the need for warm bodies is high there.

Its not just the fact that men have larger and denser bones, more and stronger muscle per pound of body weight, more blood with a composition optimized for physical activity and clotting, or the fact that men have an immune system oriented 'out' to protect against external injury while a woman's is internally oriented, generally larger organs, higher tolerance to most substances (alcohol for instance) per pound of body weight and so on.

Men and women are different, women are great but they are not optimal for soldiering. I think this opinion is shared by most honest people.

Some women might be quite testosterone soaked but they are the exception that makes the rule.
