I'm arguing that: 1) physical strength matters a hell of a lot less than all the detractors want it to 2) the physical strength necessary for most combat roles is achievable by women 3) physical strength is a red herring used to mask other, more insidious objections raised by chauvinists 4) "combat role" means so many things more than "infantry with sandbags" that couching things in terms of "physical strength" is an obvious and disingenuous attempt to re-jigger the discussion onto irrelevant terms ...which should all be pretty obvious from everything I've said on this page.
