"There is no "all else being equal" stipulation here."
Yes, there is. I'm the one who made the statement that bigger is stronger, and I put that stipulation in there, because that's the only way a valid comparison can be made.
"That's what you're failing to acknowledge and grasp."
Comical Irony Alert
"As mentioned earlier, your logic literally relies on there being a infinite amount of resources where everything is built the same. That's the only time your "all else being equal" stipulation can work, and clearly that's not the case in either real life or in fiction. Terminator fiction included."
You don't have a clue about what you're talking about. It doesn't take infinite resources to make, e.g., a 3/4" diameter steel bolt instead of a 1/2" diameter steel bolt. The 3/4" bolt is inherently stronger because it's bigger and all else is equal (i.e., made of the same steel alloy, same heat treating process, etc.) Likewise, it doesn't take infinite resources to make a larger version of an actuator, using the same design and materials, which is what "all else being equal" means: same design, same materials, the only change is dimensions. The same goes for a power source and everything else.
Again, it's just as easy to write the augmented character as a male in the first place as it is to write it as a female, and it makes a lot more sense as a male.
"HKs and Terminators are machines designed with one ultimate goal to kill humans. That's what Skynet designed them all to do in the end. No getting around that. Terminators perform better because Skynet was able to compartmentalize the best of its resources into a small infiltrator unit where there's little room for flaws. Smaller size = less chances for errors to occur and easier to put quality over quantity."
So an HK can, e.g., walk into a police station and ask to speak to Sarah Connor, and the guy at the desk will think its a human? I've already told you that it's an apples to oranges comparison, which ignores the critical "all else being equal" stipulation. A valid comparison, for example, is a small Terminator (average female size) to a larger Terminator (large male size). Obviously there's a limit to how big it can be and still pass for human, which is a critical requirement. To make the strongest, most durable Terminator you would build it as large as you can while still being able to pass for human, obviously. The next time you type out some apples-to-oranges comparison I'm simply going to dismiss it out of hand, because it's a non sequitur.
"Males are more likely to be combat soldiers"
And more importantly, which you failed to address, they are way better at it than chicks.
"because if anything, that just shows how stupid men can be. Men in general being more aggressive of the two genders are more likely to do things like engage in fist fights, drive recklessly, commit crimes, etc for some cheap thrill which is what draws them to being soldiers. Most rational people would know how idiotic it is to be a soldier in today's world especially since that not only means you're likely to get yourself killed than other jobs, but requires you to kill people who never did anything bad to you on top of all the horrible living conditions. A smart person would know that's not a job you should get into unless the threat is literally at your doorstep."
Are you a chick or a simp? Either way, you're living in a fantasy world, and you can consider your irrelevant and inept attempt at an op-ed piece dismissed.
"Okay before I respond, how do you make posts longer? For some reason my posts are cut shorter than yours when trying to respond."
Type as much as it will let you in one post, then type out the rest in Notepad or whatever. When you're finished, click reply and then immediately click "edit" and paste in the rest of your reply. You have to do that a few times if the post is really long, and eventually you'll still hit a limit even doing it that way.
