Good counter, but also found this quite interesting. “The research also found that male Marines who have not received infantry training were still more accurate using firearms than women who have.”

It's fascinating. Maybe related to males being 3 S.D.s more accurate in throwing balls -- but how does that translate to sighting a rifle?

You're right, actually. The Tavor is a tiny bit heavier than the M4, but the weight is much better balanced, and the length is much shorter, due to the bullpup design.

To be fair, you don't know what you're talking about. The Tavor is harder to load (bullpup) than a Stoner pattern M4/M16. The Tavor weights .5lbs MORE. Both systems are box mag fed and thus limited by the ability of the soldier to carry ammo in a fight. Men can carry more.

I find the attempts to excuse away facts/data dangerous and sad. This the kind of thinking that will cost lives on the battlefield. SJWs want this social experiment to work and will never spewing pure ignorance in its defense.

That makes no sense, if the lighter weaponry is equally effective, there's no reason to build/use the heavier one since the extra weight is a disadvantage.

If the weapon is designed to shoot heavy bullets at high velocities it needs a stout barrel to remain accurate, and often a longer barrel to maximize the acceleration imparted to the bullet... those things add weight

Yes the Tavor is designed for closer tactical situations, so the barrel doesn't become a liability. All weapons have a imparted purpose and a design that meets that purpose.
