[QUOTE="JackGiantkiller, post: 1926742, member: 5080"] John...I just didn't have the moral or intestinal fortitude to say it straight out. i was giving credit in areas where women are strong to avoid an appearance of prejudice. I didn't have the guts to take up the sexual dimorphism and extremely different mass and fat to muscle ratios. An unfortunate truth, learned by myself in the very same military that produced the studies you mention...the good big guy beats the good little guy. Every time. Assuming equal skill or even in many cases somewhat greater skill on the little guy (or woman's) part...the big guy wins. Luckily for me, I'm the big guy. The above is not opinion, unlike most of my posts. It is fact. In hand to hand, the big guy almost always wins. Muscle enables one to take hits as well as dish them out. Biologically, men are designed to kill things. Remathilis...if they are evil, they don't have a right to life, in a pre-modern worldview. Note your own use of the word, 'crusade'. That is exactly the sort of first strike D&D type cultures engage in. If you don't hunt Evil because its evil, then adventurers can never be pro-active. They can never seek out the dragons lair, never go down *into the goblins caves and kill them* which is a pretty standard D&D activity. Besides. Ask a dwarf what they think of letting the orcs retreat to the mountains. Or an elf what they think of letting the orcs hide in the woods. Wherever orcs are, somebody is getting raped, murdered, burned. That's what orcs do. that's what they are for. They aren't analogs of any real human group. They are monsters we can kill without regret. That's why they exist. [/QUOTE]
