When were fathers not allowed in harm’s way?

“Stuff” happens - and I say this not to diminish what she went through. Quite the contrary. Women who take these risks generally aren’t stupid. And there are so many women who take risks and survive unscathed. Reporters, missionaries, contractors, Peace Corps volunteers, soldiers, etc. We only hear about the random, terrible consequences of women in dangerous situations because it makes for good ratings and stimulates discussions.

It’s no different than if a man takes risks and suffers the consequences, whatever those consequences may be. Do kids suffer less because their dad was harmed?

Nice try. I said the US avoided sending them in harms way. Look up 1940's peacetime draft law.

I disagree entirely.

If mom and dad hear a prowler downstairs one night, do you think it matters who goes down to investigate?
