No, you don't. You may know some women who are competitive with the small same of men you have met in your life, but no woman on the planet could compete with the top 1% of men.
I've been surrounded by amateur and professional athletes for most of my life (despite the fact that I am a mediocre athlete, at best), and I can tell you that men who are in peak physical condition (those at the top 1% of the bell curve) are almost super-human in their capabilities. They are veritable freaks of nature. Without serious steroids/hormones during her developmental years, a woman can have neither the bone density nor muscle density to be even close to competitive. And these are just athletes, not trained killing machines in the US's special forces.
So, sorry to burst your bubble, but if women can't manage to crack into even the least physical of men's professional sports (how many WNBA players could make it in the NBA? Not even Brittney Griner... and she's mostly man to being with), there's no way they can hold their own in combat...
Believe you’re right. The Israelis tried women in combat units, but the women ended up breaking down physically very soon, even if the could initially approach the mens’ standards for physical fitness. There are still walls to scale with heavy packs, ammo and wounded, and it isn’t worth the time, expense and trouble to go any further with the experiment of adding women to combat units.
Oh they can inject them with hormones and steroids, have them wight train for two hours a day, run and do cross-fit for an hour a day, implant a penis, and that would get them 90% of the way there.../s
I also have been around top end amateur, bottom tier pro athletes.
I was always good at just about every sport that I did. Good as above average.
But the players who are even borderline pro, are freaks of nature.
My next door neighbor was one of these guys. Made EVERYTHING he did, look good and looked easy doing it.
He had a look, at a special NFL camp. He knew right away he was out gunned.
Best pure athlete I know, out of MANY.
Bottom tier pro's are SOOOoooooo far beyond what most people understand as good athletes.
There was an article on FR, within the last few weeks, of a woman on an arena football team. She was given openings to run through, but would get slammed every time. Though she picked herself up, a small human body can only take so much of that. Where is she going to be half way through the season? What about the following season.
What happens to a woman who runs into a Dick Butkus or Lawrence Taylor or Mean Joe Green. Defenders used to cringe at tackling Walter Peyton, because they knew he was going to hit them as hard as they were going to hit him.
These are just athletes...NOT true warriors.
There is MORE to being a warrior than pull ups or sit ups or 5 mile runs.
If someone...ANYONE...doesn't have the drive and determination to bring their body to the lowest level of physical condition, they don't have the drive or motivation to be a true warrior.
I seem to remember, some years ago, someone with a military background saying that the “most fit” woman was still not as strong as the “least fit” man. I also seem to remember learning at some point in my life that men, just naturally, have more muscle mass then women. Women have more fat. We were made for different purposes. The reason you can’t get that little bit of fat completely off your tummy area, ladies, is because you have a little extra fat there -— to keep the baby warm. As I said, we were designed for different purposes.
