Source, please.  I didn't see it in that article.

Source for what?

"Yes, but that's because of a deeply rooted, cultural sexism that the men don't even realise influences their thinking. They want to save and protect the women in their squads because their subconscious says the women are weak, helpless and incapable of looking after themselves. "  

Which study and/or article was this in?  I didn't see this given as a reason in the article being discussed.  Rather, it said that the male soldiers had to help female soldiers in tests dealing with upper body strength and carrying heavy loads.  Also, the injury rate for the females in the test was significantly higher.  I just want to read the source you got this from regarding the tests.
