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.

. . .who are willing and able. . .

Sorry, that doesn't get it. If you allow any women in combat you lose justification for keeping out any others who may think they want to go, and, in this politically correct age, set yourself up for charges of inequality based on sexism.

You seem to have fallen for the folly of rabid egalitarianism. It isn't unfair to men that they be used in the capacity in which they are made. It *is* unfair to ask that women, who are naturally designed to be mothers and nuturers, be warriors instead. Sometimes it takes a supreme act of will to see the obvious.
