And standards should not be lowered to include women. Never. But women should not be kept out because men feel this need to protect them.

So which is it? Do you want women to serve in the military or not? Either you lower the standards or women won't make the cut. It's that simple. Yes, you can find notable exceptions, but they are just that-- women who deviate so far from the mean that they are worthy of comment. If you think that the 5 or 10 freaks of nature to be found who could actually compete physically with men head to head justifies building separate facilities for women, then you truly are a liberal.

I don't believe in separate facilities either but that is a whole different thread. I don't believe there would be 5 or 10 freaks.

You are 18, aren't you?

I'm 40. And female.

BTW, I never said that I wanted women to serve in the military. You are twisting what I said. What I said was that by not having women, who are willing and able, serve we are being unfair to our men. This has never been about the women. It has always been about the men.
