Men and woman overlap in certain aspects of their distributions (say, "selflessness," for this instance). However, the medians are divergent enough to make the general statement "woman should not be in dangerous, heroic-requiring roles."
When you make rules, you have to do so for the standard, not the exception. Moreover, rules are implicit with the understanding that there will be "fringes" or exceptions.
Knowing that a few, select woman will be able to meet the same physical/ heroic standards as men and retaining the belief "women should not be in heroic roles" is not a contradictory world view. Again, the few, select women are exceptions, meaning your model of reality is accurate.
These "stories" from "every civilization" on heroic woman might just be a manifestation of their "fringes" to the rules. More intricately said, if you examine the core tenants of these cultures, you will see that each basically states something along the lines of: Men on the battle field/ at work, woman at home/with children.
Spare me. Don't stand there and tell me "well akschully it's a bimodal distribution of..." like it's 2014. The claim was that women are genetically incapable of heroism due to evolution. That's a retarded claim and now amount of apologetics and back-pedaling from the Internet Skeptic Community of 10 years ago changes that.
