That’s not true. With no controls, there is no significant difference in tolerance by sex. When controlled for height, females have lower tolerance than males. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3753357/
The military seeks female fighter pilots for three key strategic reasons:
First, diversity in the cockpit enhances combat effectiveness. Different perspectives and approaches to problem-solving reduce groupthink and improve threat assessment. “Having people who have reached the exact same standards, but from a completely different origin, makes finding solutions a lot more efficient as a team,” according to military aviation experts[1].
Second, the military needs to expand its talent pool amid pilot shortages. Air Force acquisition executive Will Roper explained: “When you’re a country that’s going to face a country with a population that’s four times your own…if we begin with a recruitment population that we’ve artificially halved because of how we design our cockpits and workstations, we’ve just doubled our work”[2].
Third, cognitive diversity strengthens risk assessment and decision-making in high-stakes situations. Research shows diverse teams spot different threats in the same situation and communicate more effectively in safety-critical environments[1:1].
Not a lie, wrong informations I got some years ago why womans are requested as jet pilots. There are no significant differences and more related to the stature of the person (distance heart-brain) and physical condition than with the gender.

“Well anyway”? Been caught in a lie, Why should we care anymore in whatever you write?
