Dennis Prager explains it well. If men don’t have a special role just for them, they will forego the role completely. i.e. women have to be their own (and their families) breadwinners, the churches are emptying (well a lot of reasons for that one) and if we allow women in combat men will no longer see it as ‘manly’ and will just skip on defending the nation. It does not bode well for society, mock male ego all you want.
Does it separate the Lesbians from the Straight and how many of each there are?
When a woman shows up as my Priest the only thing they will se is my back as I head out the door.
While we do not have female priestesses in the Catholic Church, we have had this experience with altar servers. In those parishes where girls were allowed to serve, the number of boys dropped commensurate with the increase of females. When our previous pastor allowed girls to serve, that is precisely how the scenario played itself out. It became so bad that each Sunday, we had only one altar server - a girl. The bishop then issued an edict establishing only boy altar servers. Since then, the boys have returned. A few months ago, a 5 year old volunteered. The new pastor, not willing to diminish the importance of this role, agreed. The parish women created a special chasuble to fit the little guy. What a blessing to see these young boys respond to the need!

Why would any man defend anything today beyond faith & family? If we are the ultimate evil, just let the invaders do their worst; we no longer have a stake in this anyway. Marry some senora, have a family, and watch those who fought to marginalize us lose it all. We aren’t even in the equation anymore.
