I'm also not sure the "distraction" argument is really valid. There are a lot of professional high-pressure situation where men and women are in close quarters and there is no issue. This depends more on individuals' discipline and professionalism than gender.

The same type of excuse is also often offered for things like bullying - put a lot of young guys together, and tempers can go out of control. Yet that's really not an excuse and there's all sorts of evidence pointing to the fact that individual discipline and personal qualities matter more than demographics or supposed biological factors.
