Why women do not belong on the frontline of a war

The reasons for this are 100% practical, and have absolutely nothing to do with sexism, prejudice or politics.

It is just a fact of biology that men are stronger, faster and have more endurance and stamina than women. Especially those men who are young and in absolute top fitness, like the ones that are trained as combat units in the military.

The United States Navy Seals, the branch of the United States armed forces with one of the toughest and most rigorous physical training in the world, opened their ranks for female candidates many years ago. Do you know how many women have passed this training and become Navy Seals during all these years?

Not one.

And that's not for the lack of trying. There have been numerous female trainees in the Navy Seals. Most of them have been top athletes in their absolute prime fitness. The problem is that even in their absolute top fitness they just can't keep up with the men. They just don't have the physical strength and, most crucially, they just run out of stamina much sooner than the men. No matter how well-trained and in top fitness condition the women are, they just run out of stamina much sooner. These are training sessions where the trainees have to endure extreme physical conditions and be physically exerted for hours and hours, in preparation for extreme combat situations where they likewise may need to be fighting for hours. While the men just keep going, the women just run out of stamina and can't keep up and must stop. This is not just some rumors or propaganda, this is the testimony of these female candidates themselves, when interviewed.

Of course strength is also rather crucial in combat situations. A soldier must be able to run really fast, all day long, and for example carry or drag a wounded fellow soldier across a combat zone to safety. A muscular soldier in full combat gear may well weigh over 100 kilograms. Carrying or dragging this kind of weight requires a lot of strength and stamina.

No amount of political whining is going to change these physical facts. No amount of denial, propaganda and political violence and intimidation is going to change these facts. Physical facts do not care about political correctness and "social justice". It is what it is, and no amount of violence, rioting, brainwashing and propaganda is going to change it.

There's also the fact that if a soldier gets captured by the enemy, and that soldier happens to be a woman, she is going to get brutally gang-raped, probably for as long as she's captive and alive. The probability of this being the case is extraordinarily high. This is an extraordinarily cruel fate for a human being. It's one of the worst forms of torture.

Do the military forces really want to expose women to this, just to gain some virtue-signaling points? Seriously?
