If it's a strength based then just have the women do roles which aren't front line. Like fire support, or sniping. There were quite a lot of very good female Soviet snipers in WW2.

What I've always found about that "BUT WOMEN CAN MULTITASK, IT'S PROVEN!!" thing, Is that many Guys I know do something and focus just on it and get it done. Whereas many Women i know try to juggle a bunch of things and half-ass most of them and end up doing less overall.
I get your point, but those are just bad examples. Both of those are endurance tests. Everyone can do a step up with 25kg vest once. A strength test is eg. where you need to evacuate another soldier/dummy or climb a wall.

Yeah women can nag and not listen at the same time.
Is that why pretty much every woman I've met freaks out about pretty much every single inconvinience in their lives while almost no men does? I'm not that read up on famous snipers but wasn't there a russian dude which has the most confirmed kills? I've never heard of a female sniper at least.
He clearly meant it in terms of a profession/job lol
Besides, to talk about women being more efficient at being mothers than men - while being the only ones with the biological capability to do so, would be beyond stupid. It is like saying that stone is more efficient at being solid than air.

Well, you have to be strong to be able to do it so many times in such a quick succession. I couldn't manage the step up test without a 5 minute break before switching legs and I could deadlift 130kg and had a bodyweight of around 68kg at the time.
edit: And no, everyone can't do that. I see people at the gym struggling with 40kg squats. Doing this with 25kg essentially means squatting half your body weight plus 50kg on the bar.

No wonder really. The people who are willingly putting lives of soldiers in danger for their own agenda should be crucified.
Dunno which women you've been hanging out with, but my anecdotal evidence differs from yours. Also talking about problems is healthier than the alternative of bottling them inside, don't mistake that for not freaking out about an inconvenience.
As for women snipers, google Roza Shanina and Lyudmila.

I'm a British gay Muslim Pakistani American citizen, ask me how that works! (terribly)
The paper they link
Results
In Experiment 1, both men and women performed more slowly when two tasks were rapidly interleaved than when the two tasks were performed separately. Importantly, this slow down was significantly larger in the male participants (Cohen’s d = 0.27). In an everyday multi-tasking scenario (Experiment 2), men and women did not differ significantly at solving simple arithmetic problems, searching for restaurants on a map, or answering general knowledge questions on the phone, but women were significantly better at devising strategies for locating a lost key (Cohen’s d = 0.49).
Conclusions
Women outperform men in these multi-tasking paradigms, but the near lack of empirical studies on gender differences in multitasking should caution against making strong generalisations. Instead, we hope that other researchers will aim to replicate and elaborate on our findings.
Conclusions
Our findings support the notion that woman are better than men in some types of multi-tasking (namely when the tasks involved do not need to be carried out simultaneously). More research on this question is urgently needed, before we can draw stronger conclusions and before we can differentiate between different explanations.
Fascinating stuff right here.
Personally, I'll refrain from making strong generalizations regarding this subject.

Well, they had a whole life worth of training for something like this because they are losing that shit on a daily basis.
I wonder what kind of strategy they have though... other than "where did I use it and where could I've lost it"
...dem strategies man... 10/10 MLG strats

On top of that, the requirements for females are often lower in the physical area.
They don't have to be as tall as males, not as strong as males, even achievements and perks that require you to do (swim/run) X in Y time in sports are easier for women.
As long as they aren't judged by the same standards, they will always be a hindrance.
I don't understand why that is the case anyway. They made these requirements for a reason, why can women be less good and why do men have to do more?
If all of a sudden, a 2000m run in under 4m is enough for a women, why do men have to run 2400? Equality, my ass.

When I get my keys lost, my strategy is looking in the freezer first. Then I ask someone else to look for them. It's super-efficient.
The test they used
The "Key Search task" was taken from the Behavioral Assessment for Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS, Wilson et al. 1998). This is a specific test of planning and strategy, in which participants are required to sketch out how they might route an attempt to search a "field" for a missing set of keys.
I'm guessing that some participants probe randomly. Some others methodologically follow a route that exhaustively search the entire field.

Lyudmila is 16th and Roza 34th according to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_snipers
I don't know the men/women ratio for snipers back then but I suppose it was quite high so that will of course contribute to more men being at the top but the best sniper, Simo Häyä, has 542 confirmed kills while Lyudmila "only" has 309 and Roza 59.
Practical combat-applicable powered armor can't come soon enough.
We need to get over the belief that men and women as a whole are identical and can do identical jobs at the same effectiveness.
They should create woman versions of the military equipment that fits their bodystrenght. Like having smaller rifles and smaller handgranades... they could also paint them pink for the girlzy looks and to warn any male soldier from the danger of a unfit comerade.
Or replace all soldiers with robot soldiers or atleast make soldiers physical attributes irrelevant by using body enhancement suits.
LMAO. Wow, talk about seeing what you want to see. You need to look no further than this forum, which is full-to-bursting with whiny-ass manbabies who freak out about anything and everything that inconveniences them.
"i cant fly in WoW n e more wtf blizz u ruin the game"
"omg enemeez scale w ilvl now i take 2 seconds longr 2 kill dem wtf my life is ovr"
"mage do 4% moar dps than me FML"
Or how about the Twitter peeps who use that as their personal tantrum stage, e.g. sending game developers death threats because they nerfed the AK47 in Call of Duty or rape threats to any female with an opinion on, well, anything.
"Almost no men does." Ahahaha, hahahaha. Hahahaha. Thanks for the laugh.
Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.
