Seriously, I'm 6'3" 250 pounds and have completed Ironman triathlons. When I was in my 20's I could run a sub-eleven second 100. I doubt many women can say the same.

I disagree. We'd still have just as many wars, they'd just be different in nature.
Women can be just as agressive and are sometimes far more vicious.. Well I only agree with your statement when it comes to a troop of women with a bad case of PMS then she will fight the hardest especially if the enemy has Chocolate in thier arsenal....
I've evolved even further into the "Master of the Remote"
"And I'd way rather do yard work than housework-- yuk!"
I lose my fondness for working in the yard when the temps are in the high nineties, the humidity and the gnats are so thick you could cut them with a knife, and heavy dew prevents mowing in the morning, before it gets so hot. If it were more like May or October all summer long, it would be a joy instead of a chore.
You left out the part about killing your own species. Animals don't usually do this.
"I dispute the study conclusions based on this story...."
He probably wouldn't clean up the mess he made.
I agree,
starting about now through April, it's cool enough I can work outside.....
After that, it's just mow the grass in the evenings and sit in the wading pool.
Not true. Chimpanzees have been observed conducting total warfare on other tribes of chimps; lions will kill other lions for dominance.
It is true that non-primates don't seem to conduct total warfare against another group of the same species, but that doesn't mean that individuals don't kill each other.
Because the women are watching.
T. E. Lawrence's answer to why men go to war.
Don't know if you ever served in the military but I did (Army).In BCT,you're sleep deprived from Day One.You're up at "Oh,Four Thirty" and,if you're lucky,you're asleep at 2300.Every muscle and joint in your body hurts so much that they feel like they're on fire.I could go on,but won't.
And unless I'm mistaken,Marine recruit training is even worse.
The fact that these women were weeping is,IMO,completely normal and reasonable for women.It doesn't make women inferior to men...just basically different.And less well suited for combat and combat-like situations.
The Molly Yard Brigade.
Case in point:
When men fight men, they generally try to simply batter their opponents into submission. When women fight, they claw each other, they bite, they scratch, they try to gouge out eyes, they try to rip each other apart (which is why female human combats are sometimes called "catfights"). There's a lot of reasons for this, some psychological, some physical.

I heard that their wasn't any curtains on the windows of the barracks, {GASP} that means they would have to get up at the crack of Dawn! OH! THE HUMANITY!
WHAT!? Its a wonder they get any recruits. This sister couldn't do it.
Yes and these same women would appreciate a "dangerous" man being there to protect them should the need arise no matter how much they may deny it. We are what we are and so are men. Thank God.
I think this is the funniest line in the whole article:
"Men may have developed a psychology that makes them particularly able to engage in wars ... ."
Note the not-so-subtle reference to the Darwin effect: "may have developed,"
excluding any reference to genetic traits, physiological differences in the way GOD wired men and women.
Then the punishment was just....:)
