“They’ll realize women can pull their weight;”

A 110 pound woman? OK.
A lot of fit men weigh twice that—can women pull their weight?
It’s a categorical question: can a 110 pound woman drag an unconscious 200 pound man by his ruck strap a few feet out of harms way?
Put another away, can she sling him on her back and carry him a hundred yards?
Yes or no.

Putting women in positions that require a lot of physical strength, like firefighting and open combat positions, will simply get people killed.

Its not about plumbing, its about the qualifications to do the job. Lowering them don’t make women more competent.

People keep falling back onto the physical standards. That's the hard stuff.

How about we start with the easy stuff: all women in the military get high and tight haircuts.

Then I'll take all this equality BS seriously.
