As for your last post about social experimentation. I find it hard to believe you are against trying to stop sexual harrassment and sexual assauts. I would understand you believing that certain policies to do so would be unreasonable and/or wouldn't work. But I remember you talking about how you hold doors open for women and stand at the table with they get up to leave and act like a gentleman. That seems to be in opposition to sexually harrasing women or sexually assaulting them. I have to believe that you think both are wrong and abhorant. I can't believe you are against punishing both. As for gays serving openly in military. I continue to not understand your opposition. I fail to see the problems you think it is causing or would cause. I just don't see it. As for women serving at the front, I think it should be allowed IF the women and pass THE SAME requirements that the men have to pass. Of course not as many women would able to so as the men, but I think some would. I could easily find pictures of musclebound women that would clearly pass strength requirements. I am not for making any requirement any easier for women. If that is happening, I oppose it. After all, the enemy isn't going to take it any easier on them just because they are women. I also would not want to send any unqualifed soldiers to the front that would endanger other soldiers due to being unqualifed.
I am really disappointed your totally unsimpathetic reaction to people being oppressed throughtout the world. I just don't get it.
Men on the front have to go for weeks without a shower, or even any working facilities. How can women, who have very stringent sanitary needs at least once a month, endure that?
Additionally, the very genetic desire to protect women could interfere with a male soldiers ability to perform his job correctly.
If you are talking about 'the CURSE OF MENSTROS' it's not like a woman sheds her skin and walks around like an open pustule once a month. Most women in positions of authority or in physically demanding situations manage to cope. Not all military positions require service personnel to live like dossers either and chances are the enemy have two genders as well.
As for genetic chivalry if service men are thus afflicted wouldn't it make sense to have female soldiers who could kick the crap out of enemy women seeing as the history proves men clearly can't do that.
