This has been accepted. What you seem to be struggling with is that some females are stronger than most males, and you constantly resort to steriotypes in order to maintain this disbelief.
This is absolute bullcrap.
"Under oath, Toffler also admitted that West Point has identified 120 physical differences between men and women, plus psychological differences. This, testified Toffler, has prompted West Point to make its physical training easier to accommodate women. According to Toffler:
Cadets no longer train in combat boots because women were suffering higher rates of injury; cadets now wear jogging shoes.
Women cadets take "comparable" or "equivalent" training when they cannot meet standards in some events. In practice this means that West Point males must do pull-ups while females merely do "flex-arm hangs."
The famed and valuable "recondo" endurance week during which cadets used to march with full backpacks and undergo other strenuous activities has been eliminated, as have upper-body strength events in the obstacle course.
Running with heavy weapons has been eliminated because it is "unrealistic and therefore unappropriate" to expect women to do it.
Where men and women are required to perform the same exercises, women's scores are adjusted to give them more weight.
Today's West Point males are not increasing their cardio-vascular efficiency as much as their predecessors did because they are insufficiently challenged by physical training standards geared to include women.
In load-bearing tasks (carrying and lifting), 50 percent of the women score below the bottom 5 percent of the men.
Peer ratings have been eliminated because women were scoring too low." - Women in Combat: Why Rush to Judgment?
The only people here struggling are the people who don't want to admit the fact about females in combat and ignore reality for some PC bull**** and call it "sexist."
The strongest female in the world is not "stronger than most males" absolute crap. As a man when I was younger I could dead lift as much as the female record holder. I am average at best.
