I disagree, only in that I think sociological conditioning DOES make a difference, in some respects. I think if a girl is raised to believe she CAN do anything, then the differences ARE pretty much physical.
However, if a girl is raised to believe she has to be a "lady" and CANT compete with boys, then the way she was raised DOES make a difference. It takes a LONG time to overcome what you learn growing up...I know from experience :)

I agree somewhat. One point I will give you on how we are raised is to look at Tltle IX which is the law for allowing the same number of sports for women and men in college sports. I think this law has given women some great opportunities. If you look at the average women athlete today over 20 years ago when I was in high school there is a huge difference. Women today are far better athletes and much of it is due to this law. This is a change on how women are raised and viewed. In the past not only didn't women have the opportunity but they also didn't get the training that was needed to become that better athlete.

The womens marathon time has been dropped dramaticly but the mens hasn't in the same time period. Another example if given the opportunity and training women can be great athletes but that same women marathoner while very qualified at her sport would still have trouble carrying the large weight required of a Ranger and a women large enough and strong enough would have trouble running with Rangers. So while great improvements in the athletic ability of women have taken place the average women is still hard pressed to keep up especially given the hard physical demands of Ranger life.

[quote]Letâ€™s look briefly at Joanâ€™s childhood. As the first child, Joan was doted on. Her parents dressed her in pretty pink dresses, gave her Barbie Dolls to play with, and she was discouraged from boisterous behaviour. Should her play get too loud, she was admonished, because â€œthat is not how young ladies should act.â€

Monica, I never doubted your intellect. I just got tired of answering questions. Had I known then what I know now.....I still would've told you to shove off! :)

Maybe, but I know I couldn't. This is definatly for men. Plus, what guy wants to stop in the middle of a march through enemy territory so that a chick could change her tampon?

They wouldn't stop.

The only thing that you left out was when those two boots where in front of her face and the instructor said get on the truck you are done that Ranger (H8 Train) would have actually said, "Get up fuck rag your a fucking no-go at this course."
