And again in the real world, women can't pass U.S. Army Ranger training. Men just have more upper body strength than women on average.

They will very shortly.

I watched some news story on how they've opened up Ranger training to women, those women who tried, failed, and how they needed to "reevaluate the test" to more properly match requirements.

While that makes sense in the abstract, I'm sure that one unstated requirement will be "some women will pass the test".
