"In all fields of peacekeeping, women peacekeepers have proven that they can perform the same roles, to the same standards and under the same difficult conditions, as their male counterparts."

Really? So in protracted combat operations, they hold up just as well as men? No sanitary issues? The fact that women have softer bones and less muscle mass isn't impeding anything? The fact that men are instinctively hunters and women are not isn't a problem?

Hrm...

don’t forget whether they handle the emotional stress and combat stress as well. they do not.

bottom line is it sucks we have to send MEN to do this kind of work, not all make it back, many are messed up and all are changed. sending women shouldn’t enter the equation.

I think women are an essential component of a peacekeeping op, for the reasons already stated, a war fighting op might be a different story.

Oh, now you just stop it! You men and your logic are just going to make all of us girls cry.

Let's keep in mind, they're talking about male UN 'peacekeepers', who are best known for sexually exploiting the locals.

In all, a low bar to clear.
