I read an article by a woman who joined the Army. She genuinely wanted to serve - wasn't some feminist trying to make a point.
Anyhoo, I took two things away from the article. One was how astonished she was at how hard it is for the average woman to keep up with the average man. She stated that "she was in good shape (...i can't speak to that...), and she just couldn't do it. Furthermore, the women in her unit would fall out in droves."
The second goes to your point. She talked about the need for "Battle Buddies" - as I understand it, that would be a female "partner" to accompany you to the bathroom to prevent sexual harassment. Her comment was "Let me get this straight, I'm going to protect us from North Korea, but I'm not allowed to go to the bathroom by myself???"
Personally speaking, I think that women don't belong in combat. Realistically speaking, I suppose that if they can perform to the same level that men are held to, then there's no issue. From what I hear on FR, and in general, that just ain't the case.
I’d be fine with a battalion of unsually strong,big,females.
But they should still be seperate,all-female units and have to meet the same PT standards as men.
Chivalry is for social settings, not combat and not divorce. All bets are off for those.
