The ability to survive labor pains has nothing to do with physical strength/toughness. A female cop, by herself, has about as much chance of subduing a medium-sized young male as a chihuahua does of bringing down a German Shephard. It's laughable.
In any event, I suspect that a soldier who has had his legs blown off would be far, far more painful than childbirth.

Which one is the most likely to pick you up and carry you to safety ?

Women are physically "equal" only in the world of political correctness and in Hollywood movies, like Charlie's Angels and Zena: The Warrior Princess.

Did you never hear of a "fireman's carry"? The MAN hoists the victim up and tosses the victim over his shoulders and carries the victim to safety. (often down several flights of stairs). There is no woman who can ever do that with a large victim.

The fireman carry can be carried out by men and women alike. Its not brute strength thats required, its technique
I was talking to my friend Joe tonight who is a fireman and I asked him how are they advised to remove a person from a. burning building and he says they are trained in the dragging, lifting is last resort but both men and women can do them
He also said that there is now a rise in claims against the fire service because of arms being broken through the dragging method
Im no feminist but I do find your comments rather derogatory toward women. I do live in the real world, one where we have female police offices, firemen, soldiers and sailors.

Re: Somethings are better done by men
A fireman friend used to complain bitterly about allowing female firefighters on the force. He was not happy because as well as worrying about the people in the building he'd have to worry about making sure they were ok. Dropping the height restriction meant that they were too short and were excused from certain duties putting more pressure on the rest of the team.You have to be practical about something like this. Unless a woman is built like Brienne of Tarth, then she is not going to be able to physically contribute as much as a man to some jobs. There's no getting around it.
