By 2084, how much estrogene do you expect to be in our drinking water ? Maybe men will be reduced to the stats of females ?

Oh, you should see where I live, in a suburb just west of the city of Cleveland in the United States - We have all kinds of drugs and chemicals in our drinking water now, and it is causing problems, as we get it from Lake Erie right to the north. (Yes, the large body of water that actually caught on fire once because of all the crap floating in it, a number of years back...)

Take your info from the Marines, who actually value a soldier regardless of gender, women can ignore pain easier and have a higher tolerance for general combat fatigue.
That and most the women in the military have been fighting their entire life so the average Joe Shmoe that joins up has to work up for a few years just to get up to their level. Ex military here, a female soldier is just as good as a male soldier, and don't give me this "Women should be weaker" bull. Its complete crap, maybe city girls or glam girls sure, but these are soldiers trained to the SAME standards as their male counterparts.

1. The anabolic testosterone is a key factor in muscle development and bone density. While there is enough variety that on both ends of the spectrum, there is some overlap between males and females, on average men have ten times as much testosterone as women. Women are weaker on average. This is why sports events seperate by gender.
2. The myth about a higher pain threshold of women is based on observations of women during childbirth. However, it's now well known that during this time their body pumps out different chemicals. This increases their pain threshold during this time. From an abstract, "There was a significant decline in pain threshold after labor as compared to pain threshold during labor [...] Pain intensity using the VRS score was higher during labor than before labor [...] We found a significant rise in pain threshold during labor in term pregnancies." In fact, with the exception of pregnancy, it is men who have a slightly higher pain threshold.
homunculus:
so, if we wanted soldiers with higher pain threshold then we should recruit pregnant women.
i wonder where this discussion getting to. we need new models for female soldiers?
maybe the chemicals that increase pain threshold could be injected rather?
kodosapiens:
Do aliens in UFO:AI have females? Just curious.
