in g-force conditioning, men tend to crap out at about 6 Gs where women were still filing their nails at 9+ Gs.

I'll spend all day looking for that reference if need be.

That's a new one to me. I would be interested in seeing the data on that.

It was a PBS(?) doc, and I will try to find it.

It showed the pilots passing out at various Gs in centrifuge-type training.

...women were still filing their nails at 9+ Gs...

I have personally seen female pilots who were just as good as their male counterparts, and I am one of their biggest defenders. I love my sister Marines just as much as my brothers and have the utmost confidence in them, but I can't say I buy into that statement. 9+ would have anyone heaving and blacking out, if sustained for more than a few seconds.
