When you kill a woman, you kill all of her babies, and when you wound a woman in many ways you kill all of her babies. When you kill a man, you kill just that man.
This is the philosophical foundation for keeping woman out of contact with an enemy.
Yes, that is the one thing that I'm surprised none of you have brought up with me: How many more men's lives are worth the life of a woman, assuming my theories are true? A legitimate question. I mean, let's say an evil ruler demanded a sacrifice from a large city he controlled and he gave them a choice: Send out a young man to be sacrificed or send out a young woman. Obviously the American choice would be that a man would be chosen. But then let's say it was either 5 men or one woman. Probably still 5 men would die, even though there would probably start being female volunteers to save the life of the extra men. But then what about 10 to 1, 100 to 1, 1000 to one? I wonder where the cut-off would be.
