The strength disproportionality between men and women is astounding.

Granted, a woman who has trained for 10 years to be a kick-boxer would wipe the floor with me. However, were she matched against a man who had done the same training, it would be no contest. This is not because women are "inferior", but merely different.

I was in NROTC for a year because I was considering military service. The gap between the men and the women is amazing. After 3 months I could run 5 miles with no problem, while the women in the program were still struggling to run without stopping for 2. All of them men were doing vastly more push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and running. We always had more stamina and, not only that, but more "will" to do the task. When we found something to be hard, we kept trying until it got easy. Many of the girls just threw their arms in the air and gave up.

The physical tests were tailored for men and women too. Men's minimum fitness qualifications were nowhere near the best of what some of the women could do. It's just not possible. Women have to work harder to perform the same physical tasks as men, and that's just the way it is. They're not inferior because of it, merely different.

Anyone asserting otherwise should have a fitness test between and average mand and an average woman.
