and it's also a fact that when conditioned, like men for battle, that women are faster, better light horsemen, and interestingly in modern times, tend to be more accurate then men(according to some study on the canadian forces i read on CBC)

women are better then men in combat in areas that don't require brute strength. So while they are equals in using a long sword, and men will out do women with a war hammer, women will out play a man with a short sword(using totally out of my ass examples) they are complimentary to each other in battle.
