Men are different than women.
Men on average are stronger and faster than women. Women can get pregnant, men can not. Women have periods, men do not. Women are more emotional, men are not. These are facts and logically we can all agree upon them.
Men also require far less personal hygiene than a woman, a woman can easily get infections and diseases from not taking care of her body properly. Men on average are better warriors and fighters, look throughout all of human history and you will find that is is a man fighting in wars.
Mentally. Men are hardwired to be more aggressive. We are competitors and together we are stronger. I'm just going to name off some examples, my sisters fight amongst each other all the time. Men however, like my football team and the my fellow Marine Poolies, we all get along.
My general thoughts on all of that? Bullshit. Men being stronger on average might have been true thirty years ago. Nowadays, with more and more men being neckbeards that sit in their mother's basements all day and lurk in front of a computer screen all over the world, and gyms being open to women (for a long time, genuine gyms and many other such locations were male exclusive, let's remember that as well), women are just as strong as males, on average. You must remember to count the legions of neckbeards and nerds that only go outside to restock their fridge with Red Bull and microwave pizzas just as equally as your 'OORAH 'MURRICA, 'MURRICA jarheads. So no, it's not a fact, it's not logical, and no, we can't all agree upon them. As several other posters have already stated.
Also: Male pregnancy. So there's that too.
Bull. Fucking. Shit. Men require more hygiene than women. Not only do you need to shower, clean yourself, and apply deodorants just like we women do, but you have to shave frequently. Some every day, some every other day. Women, especially in these precious combat scenarios you like to harp on and on about, don't have to shave their legs. As for downstairs, we only need to be as careful as men do. So do look yourself in the mirror next time you shave.
As several others have stated before: Females have fought wars throughout history.
And men are no more "hardwired" to be more agressive or competitors than women, and men, more often than not, will try to compete against one another, even in a team. Using your siblings as an example is a horrible idea, because all siblings fight. I fight with my sister, I fight with my brother. But I work just splendidly alongside other women in the workplace, or in other situations. If women couldn't work together like you said, then society would have crumbled millenia ago, for while, as you're so keen to reiterate, the men were out fighting, who took care of the home? Who tended the fields, who kept society running, who made sure the children they left behind had food? Who defended their homes from bandits and pillagers? The Women.
Also, most of your opinions, and I will repeat that in case you missed it: your opinions, as they are not facts, are the archetype of what we've been discussing. You, my good fellow, are a shining example of the insidious nature of the sexism women have to deal with, and feminists, regardless of how hardline/extremist they may or may not be are opposed to. People who think that women are, by the very nature of being women, inferior and not fit to accomplish certain tasks, such as being in the Armed Forces.
