Wait a minute, I thought we were all equals and were to treat all people equally. IF this is true, why laws to supposedly protect women. Furthermore, if women can fight in combat, as defense officials suggest, they certainly should be able to defend themselves without anyone’s assistance.
All laws that give special status to any group should be ruled unconstitutional. Women, gays, minorities, etc. should not have special "privileges". I can see an exception for severely handicapped people in necessary instances.
Good point. But soon, since we have to pay for sex change operations and welcome transgenders in the military, most of the women will have been initially enlisted as men.
