That was some article! Thanks. I read it all the way through.

As a white woman, ex-military, I can definitely say most women are not up to most tasks. I was in radio repair and once had to remove a 50 lb transceiver from an upper rack position. I got it out, and on my shoulder, just before careening into the electrical panel. Boom. My male compatriots had no problem, of course.

Also, men act differently when women are present in combat. Protective, and therefore, not the best fighting force you'd want.

I went to junior high in Miami Beach, when they were busing in blacks from the inner city (in Miami) and because I was "poor", I ended up in classes with mostly blacks. PE class was very entertaining. These black girls, 12-14 yrs old, had incredible muscles and they didn't "work out". They just had them. They really hated having me on their team for volley ball. I couldn't spike for s_ _t. Was fun though.

No matter how many piano lessons I had, I could never master it.

There are differences. Simple as that.
