I do think that there is some truth to the first sentence of that paragraph - so 
that men should be the ones to go into combat, and the majority of our police, 
and so on.

Science, while certainly advanced by war - because the tendency is for rulers 
to fear innovation because it brings change, which might loosen their grip on 
power - is only one of the things that uses it. But war loosens the government 
purse strings as well... between wars, scientific advance is limited to what 
consumer production drives, leading to limited and unbalanced technological 
progress, as we see now: computers advance, everything else stagnates.

But what this has to do with women in the laboratory is unclear.

Male scientists do not tend to fit into the same macho stereotype as front-line 
soldiers or football players. It's a book larnin' type of activity.
