Yeah you’re right. Women are different from men.
“We women have forgotten more about cruelty than you could ever remember,” she spits, and adds that she wants the traitors “alive when you cut out their hearts and their bowels.”
Helen Mirren in the movie `Queen Elizabeth’

My aunt built airplanes in WWII and then flew them. Her mother scratched out a living with her husband on Oklahoma land that even the Indians didn’t want.
My Mother killed rattlesnakes with a garden hoe and worked alongside her two brothers chopping cotton. I wouldn’t have wanted to tangle with two of them and I made the mistake of tangling with one of them, once.

I get the impression from the article that Vanessa knows her job and does it as well as anyone could.
Not every man can be in special forces either so yeah, you’re right there too.

Yes many women are tough. My wife is a 5th degree black belt.

Women and men are not the same, each have strengths. Mens strengths generally make them better for combat and many military duties.

The mixed gender environment also raises a lot of problems in the military environment.

Was she the BEST for the job? Probably not.

My wife is the daughter of a soldier in Patton’s Army: Silver Star, Bronze Star, 3 Purple Hearts. She is a chip off the old block, without a doubt the strongest individual I have ever known. She was a great Army nurse in Vietnam. She was in the right spot.
