wanting to shield women is still sexism LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 24/02/2010 09:13:22 PM
since there's not a draft in place, it has no place in deciding whether a woman who feels she can shoot someone and is capable of combat should be allowed in the infantry. If they can do the job, they should be allowed to do the job.

You do make a good point when it comes to relations with international troops, but not it's not necessarily a situation all women infantry would have to be in. I'm just saying that dismissing the women as a matter of course should not be done. But yes, they would have to be more strategically placed.
