Insanity At the Steering Wheel

Well, gee, ya don't say! I've been maintaining for decades that women have no biz being soldiers (& ***I'm*** a woman)!

Things that neither feelings, nor hormones, nor surgery can change:

"The differences between the sexes affect all kinds of major and minor components about our bodies. Men have stronger bones than women, as well as stronger tendons and ligaments. Males have more muscle fibers, and because of this have greater muscle mass. Men have about 40 percent more muscle mass than women. Things like calorie intake also affect the sexes differently: men tend to convert extra calories into muscle and energy reserves. Females tend to convert them into fat deposits.


Men also have higher levels of testosterone that allow a greater capacity for hypertrophy (muscle growth). While testosterone exists in both men and women, most men produce 6-8 mg of testosterone daily, while women might produce 0.5 mg at the same rate. Because of this, high-T females are nowhere near the testosterone level of even low-T males. Your average female’s T range is from 8-60 ng/dL, while adult males range from 240-950 ng/dL.

Men are bathed in testosterone from the womb. Exposure to higher amounts of testosterone over a lifetime is why men are the way they are (the same can be said for women and estrogen). Higher testosterone levels in men make them more aggressive. Higher testosterone also allows men to endure greater amounts of, and recover faster from, physically strenuous activities. They can do all of this at much higher rates than women can."

It's fatuous to ignore basic scientific realities.  Worse, it's DANNNNNgerous!  Will this society ever recover from careening around in relativistic space outside the safety of truth's gravity?  Have we passed the point of no return?
