And yet, why is it that women outperform men in G-Loc resistance when flying aircraft? They tend to be shorter, with the larger thighs, and higher haemoglobin counts. Their bodies are better able to deal with the blood being forced into the legs becasue of this and other reasons.
(Women also have higher survivablilty than men on the operating table due to the blood oxygen thing.)
With that in mind, women are physically BETTER suited than men to be combat pilots.
(G-Loc = Gravitational force induced loss of consciousness)
Both men and women have their strengths and weaknesses, men are just more genetically predisposed to the physical act of fighting on land.
