Back in the 70s, a thief was caught breaking into my friend's place of business. The first officer on the scene was a female, and she ran the thief to ground and cuffed him before the other officer got to the spot.

A few years later, the house I was living in was broken into and a lot of stuff stolen. I gave a list of the stolen goods with their serial numbers, and a few days later a female officer caught the thief. A routine traffic stop was all it took. The ledge over the back window used to have two big speakers and they had been removed leaving two big holes. She looked to see what was in the trunk, and bingo, stolen goods. He got 5 to 7 in the state prison.
I wrote a letter of thanks for a job well done to her superior, but I never got a response. I've often wondered if he even told her about the letter.

Women generally lack the upper body strength of men, but they are certainly qualified to do most any kind of work. The thing is, in the military or the police force, many of the men resent the fact that women can do their job as well as they can, and they act like nasty little boys to show their displeasure.
I remember when Admiral Zumwalt first allowed women to serve on the ships there were predictions of sex orgies and an overall collapse of the whole system. There have been isolated cases, but no disaster yet.
