TIL: The first female US carrier fighter pilot crashed and died 4 months after being certified. Many men were more qualified. Instructors complained incompetent women were “not allowed to fail” (en.m.wikipedia.org)

Better for men yes, more important is teaching the values of stoicism, dedication and self restraint with understanding violence. Plenty of men fight and learn nothing from it, there’s a reason every single great warrior society valued stoicism or the equivalent of it (hagakure). Could some women gain from this? Not really, concepts of self sacrifice are completely lost on a sex that’s only value historically has been surviving to breed.

I disagree. On the contrary I think it is more important for women to develop discipline in a focused manner as they seem far less inclined to do so by natural inclination, especially in times of peace. When times are hard women's behavior changes significantly.

The problem is that society stops treating them like adults when times are not hard.

No, even when times are hard the role difference has always been extremely present. Women aren’t the same as men, and by that difference what they are able to excel at has and always will be different then men. This idea that women receiving teaching in men’s diligence is the same stupidity that believes that men ditching stoicism will lead to a kinder society.
