I agree with you. Also, I must say, Kurdish women in particular have a very long history of fighting alongside men, when it is necessary. This is nothing new. Do I like it? Of course not. But these things happen, have happened, and often a necessity, not a whim or ‘nice thing to do’.

From what I've heard the only way you can tell the different between the Kurdish genders is that the MEN have the fuller mustaches and beards. A little bit of Kurdish humor as the Kurds DO intermarry.

Women fighting along side men means that their culture is doomed. Women can best fight from a control panel back at the base, aiming the bombs and drones at their targets.
In hand-to-hand combat women are dead meat. But before that they may be subject to gang-platoon-rape.
Combat is no place for women and SAD is the culture that requires them to be in combat fighting men.

Apart from your few years with your husband, in a sheltered environment, in Saudi Arabia, which you constantly post about in various threads on FR, you've no other personal experience of that region. It has become abundantly clear.

I find your posts here in particular insulting and completely ignorant. You're entitled to your opinion, but do not post to me again.

You think the Kurds have “control panels and bombs and drones?” You’re an idiot.
