Nope. I wouldn’t be surprised if she whined until the men took some of the load from hers and added it to their own.

In my long life I have known women who were stronger than most men. Not only were they stronger but they were faster. Conversely I have have known men who were much smaller and less strong than ordinary women.

The differences were not really notable when they started working at “manly” jobs. And, yes, I am sure there are jobs a woman cannot do or shouldn’t do. I don’t know what they are off hand.

Most importantly come the question can a woman ‘think’ like a man—the answer is yes, they can especially if they is good at math, the sciences, use logic, etc.

I cannot list what jobs they cannot due as I don’t know what they are.

The issue is not what the top 1% of women can do.

The issue is whether the military has the structure in place to guarantee that there is no favoritism, special treatment or cutting corners.

They do not.

That is not the fault of the women in the program, that is the fault of the military.

As a result any women in a unit will seriously harm morale and unit cohesion.

HOW about a job to...fight and win a war against Chinese soldiers? On the ground.

I tend to agree. In things like ranger school the saying goes cooperate and graduate. That doesn’t mean cheating, it means providing moral support, encouragement, suggestions, etc. The other point is sometimes people get tunnel vision on task completion. There are work arounds to get the task done. Not cheating but a more efficient way. The other thing about wash outs from ranger school is it is a mental attitude. You receive an order and it is to be followed verbatim . I know people who washed out because they had a better idea, knew a short cut, etc. The first week at about 21:00 hours they were told to go in the barracks and write an essay. It was noisy so the individual went out side with a friend to write. An instructor came by and caught them. Out first week. People think they can run roads, catch some sleep, sneak food, etc. Those are what disqualifies a lot of people. Has nothing to do with strength or stamina.

Anything that has to do with combat infantry.

Women are unsuitable for those jobs. When placed in them the units suffer much higher casualty rates and are basically combat ineffective.

The Israeli experience is educational. They used to assign women to combat roles. They no longer do that.

War is a harsh objective test - and it is pass-fail. Women in combat fail. Don't put them there.

Any man who has actually faced life-threatening situations in law enforcement, firefighting, or combat, if he is honest, will admit that he would NOT want to rely upon females in such situations. So in that regard every comment in your post is irrelevant and presumably intended to be misleading!
