If women are to serve, how many do you think could keep up with the men? How many do you think would be able to pass special forces training such as the Navy SEALs program or the Green Berets? How many Muslim extremists will surrender to women? How many women will be targeted by snipers because they know that men will come racing toward the injured woman?
I think the ones that can keep up the men and can pass the training should be allowed to serve. Last time I checked, you didn't use a penis to load a gun, so I'm not sure why it's a necessary prerequisite. I understand the argument about women being physically weaker, etc, on average. And yeah, that's true, fine. But it's not true of every woman. Why should every woman be judged by that? There's already a filter to keep out of the military people who aren't capable of doing the physical work necessary for service. It's called the training. You don't need a gender filter on top of that. I have my doubts that even
most women would be unable to keep up, and I've met enough women who could kick my ass to suggest that gender is not sufficient information for judging a person's physical ability.
Yes, if women aren't as physically capable as men, there won't be as many that actually finish the training. Fine, the ratio won't be 1:1, but that's fine. Let the actual work determine who can do it. Not what they've got between their legs.
As for the behavior of the men; maybe that's true. Maybe the men's behavior is something the men should be dealing with, too. I know that's a lot easier said than done. I'm not sure how one would go about accomplishing it. But it does need to get done.
