I have a sister, a firefighter and paramedic, who was on a women's soccer team that regularly humiliated all-male teams. She still plays "old lady" soccer (in her words) and she coaches young kids too.
What women lack in testosterone-bulked-out-muscle they make up for in teamwork, endurance, and determination.

I once had a girlfriend who is a brilliant engineer. She had to fight harder than any man for her place in our society.
Same with my wife.
Twice the work and talent for much less than twice the pay and respect.
