That is not pain tolerance. Duh. That is fear response, mr genius. Pain toelerance is how much pain you can bear. Pain is a stimuli. Stress response isnt the same as fear response. Stress response is ability to make decisions under a stressful condition- there are plenty of pussies around who can handle stress like a champ and vice versa where there are plenty of jigraa dudes who go blood-lust crazy and die coz they cant handle stress either in combat.
This isnt a incel discussion here i am interested to have with tweeners. Either use brain or i will start bringing out Indian uncle chappal & gaali your way, vatz. As i am probably your uncles age as a 40+ dude.
I piss on feminism and have said so in the feminism threat plenty of times. That doesnt mean i am gonna jive with Indian cut-paste of yankee-type incels.
About this topic of pain tolerance and stress tolerance, I'll pitch in with my two paise.
Firstly, why is pain tolerance important?
Are we counting on our soldiers getting shot and keeping quiet or something?
See, if pain tolerance is coming into play, things have gone horribly wrong for the soldier and he/she is probably incapable of participating in further ops till he/she is extracted and fixed. So why are we harping on this point like it has any role in the discussion?
When does pain tolerance come into play? When a soldier gets shot, breaks bones or rips muscles to the point of incapacitation.
All of these are post op emergencies to be dealt with in an evac and how much a soldier grits his teeth and bears pain through it is wholly irrelevant to what his primary role is, i.e, combat.
So this is a genuinely irrelevant point.
Now, we come to stress tolerance. And it's true to a certain extent. Women have marginally better stress tolerance.
Now let's talk about the magnitude of difference between the stress a man will suffer and the stress a woman will suffer in combat. I have a fun experiment. Ask your best buddy to go limp on the floor and then try to put him on a bed. You will struggle but will probably accomplish it within a few minutes of grunting and heaving.
Now, repeat the experiment with you as a dummy and your sister/wife/whichever female agrees to it and see if she even finishes the task.
Multiply the stress and frustration by a hundred and now we see how far you can push women in a combat situation. It's not just about physical exertion or mental exhaustion.
It's both.
The physical stress WILL add significantly to the mental stress and vice versa and it will keep spiraling the longer ops go on for (which in conventional war could mean literal years).
This higher stress tolerance that you speak of is so minute compared to the insane level of difference between the physical capability of a man and a woman that it's like saying we're going to cause water levels to rise because we keep pissing into the ocean.
People here are talking like the women in combat duties will be fulfilling a SWAT team member's role and just roll up to a house, get off their van, shoot the bad guys and then go back to their HQ or something. Start fresh, end fresh, refresh.
That will NOT be it.
It will be so different, it's not even close.
I've lived with four men in a PG and I currently live with my girlfriend. The daily upkeep of a woman's hygiene and needs (not talking of bullshit skincare routines but the fragility of female health) is FAR higher than anything any of those four men had. Not a single one of those guys of which two were morbidly obese needed anything more than food and water to survive and thrive.
The same does not apply to women. Hormone imbalances happen at the drop of a hat. Their body stores fat quicker and longer. Their fitness at their peak is eclipsed by an untrained but active man.
I'm sorry, there is a lot, LOT more to war than just shooting guns at other people with guns.
Subconsciously, all of us know the truth.
Also, I'll talk of morale a little more here, apart from my previous point.
You know, when I was living in Patna and there were fist fights between gangs (wannabes), we would often judge our fellow chapris by their face, size and everything in between.
Do you know how hyena-esque of a laugh riot we would have if we heard a gang of women were coming to fight us? We would refuse solely to avoid causing life altering injuries.
No one takes women in combat seriously (not even a simple stupid fistfight). Outliers and examples from a case of desperation like Kurds or Ukrainians or Jhansi ki Rani notwithstanding, I'm speaking exclusively of current times.
