Are you being sarcastic? Color me ignorant, but I don’t see anything wrong with the statement.
No, Toespi isn’t being sarcastic.
The statement was right on (not fully on the Rick bus yet, but that's a different topic). You cannot remove the natural instincts from men and having women in combat will cause many men to start to focus on protecting them. I believ there are also in-bred instincts that say women should not be in harm's way - If you have a few men and a lot of women, you can repopulate with a vengeance. if you have a few women and a lot of men, the species is in danger of failing.
