On the Reality of Combat

151. Put 25 women in hand to hand against 25 guys.

Only a Holllywood movie maker thinks the women would live. Loading out 25 signifigantly weaker people is not a way to win a battle.

There is a reason why professional footballs teams are all male. Sorry, but we are NOT all created the same.

Women do indeed have advantages that suit them for some combat roles. In WWII Russia make great use of women snipers, anti-aircraft gunners, and (IIRC) pilots. But they didn't use them for general purpose infantry. The snipers were used mostly in cities, where they didn't have to carry a lot of stuff, run accross terrain or physically fight Germans.

The requirements were determined by who lived and died in real world combat.

In addition to raw strength, which is STILL important in combat;
Men's blood clots faster
Men's minds have better ability to compartmentalize.
Men run faster
Men are naturally more violent.

Women have important skills that can be used in combat, just not as general infantry or other places were raw strength is important.
