Clearly the man will win in a fight every time, right? Fact is there is a large overlap in physical stature and fitness between men and women and just because the "average" woman is smaller and physically weaker than the "average" man doesn't mean physically above average women can't exceed the minimum physical criteria to be a frontline combat soldier.. it might only be 10% of women who can meet that criteria, but why deny those 10% the opportunity because of an appeal to averages. |
You grossly, grossly underestimate the physical fitness and combat training that these soldiers are put under. 10% of men likely wouldn't be able to complete them.
You compare elite vs. elite, as that's who they're working with. Honestly, I believe women play an active role in the military and they should, because they're able to contribute and fight. That said, this is a illogical defense to the facts of human physiology.
