I feel the same way. Women IMO normally should not be in battle, but they want to be equal with everything...or from what I have seen, they want all the benefits of men, without the detriments.
Because they have tried to hard to want to be equal, I feel they also need to share the equal less-pleasant issues, not just the good ones, such as voting, holding office etc.
Please dont flame me, this is just what I see regarding gender issues, you never see a woman trying to be equal when it comes to something they dont want to do, even if a man would have to.
Even with all the "equality" between men and women lately, alot of issues are still one sided, for example, in a rape/assault case, the man is ALWAYS wrong most of the time. I have seen and read about dozens of cases where the woman has almost no proof or evidence, yet the man is convicted. If it was the man making the claim, he would be laughed at without rock solid evidence.
The same with alot of child care issues that I have read about, its the husband who almost always has to fight for custody. Why? If there equal, it should be equal.

What do you call a med student that graduates with a C average? Ans. Doctor. Just because you can make it through training doesn't mean you should be in the field.starfoxtj wrote: But...what about GI-Jane?

In the U.S. Army, women are in all those fields. The only ones right now they are not allowed in are straight combat fields. They can't be a combat medic, or foot soldier or anything like that.
