SUNSHINE MARY: Do feminists accept that women are physically inferior to men?
I saw a tweet the other day in which a man wondered how it is that the NFL has yet to be able to produce even one competent female punter, yet women are supposedly tough enough and strong enough to be Marines. And even though it was a humorous comment, his point is actually a good one.
If feminists don’t accept that women are physically inferior to men, then how do they account for this? How do they explain away that women are 30% smaller then men? How do they explain stories like the one published in the Marine Corps Gazette in 2012 by Capt. Katie Petronio, Get Over It! We Are Not All Created Equal, in which she argued against integrating women into infantry positions? She describes how her own experience as a deployed Marine severely damaged her body, leaving her infertile, because she was physically unable to endure, and writes this:
I am confident that should the Marine Corps attempt to fully integrate women into the infantry, we as an institution are going to experience a colossal increase in crippling and career-ending medical conditions for females.
The short answer is that feminists don’t account for it. They go completely silent and change the topic.
