It's been demonstrated that the presence of a woman among fighting men, no matter how strong she is, is detrimental to the effectiveness of the unit.

They said the same thing about mixing racses in military units and that was overcome. I'm not saying women should be wholesale in combat units or even at all, but just that this is a suspect argument against it.

The pregnancy rate among women in the military would indicate that the sexes are not interacting on a strictly professional level. "But we told them not to have sex on the ship ... where'd all these babies come from?"
