#5 Eggs are expensive, sperm is cheap.

Last I looked, eggs were up to $6 a dozen. No idea what sperm goes for these days.
Goofing aside, the relative cost is a biological fact.

The other inconvenient truth is that humans are sexually dimorphic with boy humans being, on average, bigger/stronger/faster that girl humans. If you look at sports records as an example, world class women athletes generally perform at or below the level of high school boys.

It used to be that the military was one place where you did not lie to yourself because your delusions about the world would get you killed. There are war-fighting roles for women but combat is not one of them. I hope we get this sorted out before we pay a huge price.

Like the man said, the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but it's a good way to bet.

#6 Sometimes female soldiers will find themselves in battle, and so should be trained and drilled — 10/7/2023 in southern Israel being a perfect example of both female soldier fighting successes and failures — but for a lot of reasons it’s better if in general they’re the tail rather than the tip of the spear.
