I hope that most men realize the wonderous gift that is a daughter. Keep the women and children at home in times of war and conflict; in the alternative, lose the nation because its not worth fighting for.

As a father of 3 girls and one son, I am pround of my oldest, a daughter who just enlisted in the Army ROTC. I do know the difference between sons and daughters, but think it interesting that so many on this thread would use some of the same arguments used by the Taliban to keep women in their place. Not all progress is bad.
