it's just discussion lazs, it will go where it will regardless of my wants.
Do you feel that violence against women should be treated exactly as it is against men?
Yep
Do you feel that women should enjoy no special place in society so far as violence is concerned?
Yep
Do you feel that true equality will never be achieved so long as women aren't commiting as many violent crimes as men?
equality isn't truer if you name it "True equality" , it either is or it isn't. If women committed the same number of violent crimes as men there would be an equal amount of violent crimes commited by both genders. Not hard to understand.
Maybe if we just gave all women daily testosterone injections it would make things fair and equal?
Women already have varying amounts of testosterone in their bodys just as men have estrogen. (that's gotta have you up a tree)

Perhaps our science can overcome genetics? Hell, things have been this way for tens of thousands of years it must be time for science or ideolodgy to step in eh?
guys... it don't work.. women in combat is not a good idea.. It never was a good idea and it is not even that great an idea for a last ditch effort.... Please don't give me soviet army examples... I would never want us to immulate WWII soviet military for many reasons... not the least being women in combat...

The fact is, in the modern military, women can do the same jobs as men as well and better and because of that fact, they should be doing the job, for no other reason.
The best should be representing and fighting for our country no matter the gender, with no artificial limitations in place.
Stating that something has always been a certain way is always the weak argument when you cannot justify why it should currently be that way. It's an old man's argument in viewing the future, in some cases it is correct, in some cases it's tragic.
