What endurance events are women better at?
Also, I was curious about the g-force thing, but any scientific studies I could find had conclusions that there aren’t any significant differences between men and women when it comes to withstanding g-forces.

Cold weather ultra marathon swimming? That’s really specific, not important for military use, (who is having to free swim for 10+ miles?) and I was having problems trying to find any specific records for cold water ultra marathon swimming. I could find ultra marathon records of swimming in general, but most of those were men.
We need more data, but ultra-marathons could be such events

I could see that being a case. Running for over 100 miles is just insane for anyone.
