I was a very junior party to some of the discussions regarding the physiological limitations of women flying combat aircraft many years ago.
In one exchange ,the point was put forward that women could: "Suffer a prolapsed uterus during ejection "
The counter to this was a classic; " You are talking about one of the most powerful muscle systems in the Human Body"
"Err ......How strong?"
"Enough to break a man's wrist. Would you like me to introduce you to some Gynecologist friends of mine? "
