We make our own reality.

The less muscles presented in the feminine body is not the issue here, at all. What else do you think makes us so distinctive from other living organism on this planet which are way stronger than we are? Our intelligence. What we can't solve with physics we use tools. A taser would suffice in such a situation. Too bad none of these women had one.  

Do you know where the term "right" origins from and what I am even implying? I don't think so. 

Also, a law will be made if there is a need to protect people from other ones. Otherwise, there is no reason for it. Seeing that Belgium went the mile in creating this one and seeing it being actually applied by your OP, shows what kind of mentally some people hold out there. It's actually really sad. 

You can't be series, are you denying women are less physically strong than men and that this can be made truth if we believe it. 

If there was a gang warfare going on in your neighbourhood that directly effected you and posed a real threat, big strong gang member with knuckle dusters attacking random people. Would you want a 75% women to 25% male police force or 75 % men to 25 % female? Women, deserve a place in law enforcement but like in the Army, not on the frontline. Physical strength is not redundant because we are able to build tools, it may well be in the far future but right now we still need police who have at least some ability to fight off an attacker and actually protect the public, not be placeholders to call for male backup when shit gets tough cause at that rate all they are doing is taking male jobs

The largest city near me (100,000), and the namesake of our county, is ran by a female police chief.  She does an amazing job and I certainly wouldn't take issue with her protecting me in a criminal situation.  She is very highly trained and has an assortment of tools to do her job, including a firearm, tazer, baton, pepper spray, handcuffs, and all of the support of her fellow officers, be they male or female.  Brute force is often not an important factor of police procedure and the size of an officer doesn't suggest to me their ability to perform their duties.  It is merely an aspect of the assets that make them prepared for their line of work. In addition to the strengths of this police chief that I mentioned before, she is also very active in the community and regularly attends community events to hear from the people she represents.

You are trying to justify chauvinism and I know you often wish for a simpler time when gender roles were more well defined and based on the thousands of years of oppression that women have had to endure at the hands of vicious men and societies.  I'm not man-shaming; I'm calling it like it is. The strength of the average male does put them in a greater level of power, but brute strength is one of the many attributes that has helped the human race become the super species it is.  In time we will continue to grow more and we will see gender roles become even more blurred as women don't deny themselves the right to achieve stereotypical male-centric roles, and men will do the same.

Finally, I'll leave you with these pictures of strong, powerful women that I would never desire to meet in a dark alley with bad intent.
