My point was that you can use whatever definition of success you like and the end product may be achieved, despite the inherent differences. More than one way to skin a cat, if you will.
Obviously it would be crude to suggest that the approaches are completely separate, and that no areas of overlap (or complete overlap) occur.

However business is not intrinsically linked to one sex despite the chauvinist attitudes employed therein, but child birth and child care is.

Are you actually interested, or implying that it can't be done?
One way is to measure the oxygen intake of the body, but I don't know what particular methods were used in the study, like I said it was a friend of mine who really got into this. I trust him and the academic staff not to be just talking out of their arses.
Noone mentioned the only need for efficiency was in killing. Any task someone might find themselves doing during a war is affected. If your whole operation is nearly twice as slow as the enemy, you're screwed.

Do you have evidence to the contrary? One example might be that women are much less respected in society than men in the middle east, even if all else was equal they still wouldn't be suitable. Perhaps now the war in a traditional sense is over they could undertake a role much like that i described of policewomen. This is hardly still a war, more like an occupation met with civilian resistance.
