With slightly more demanding hygienical requirements I didnt mean showers or bath.
Yeah, seriously >_> Just saying, there's plenty of bonafide women who don't actually shower all that often. I'm guessing that the ones who come out looking naturally photoshopped are more divesting of group attention, but that's definitely not all of us. Or probably even most of us.
And you know, if no one's giving you shit for getting a little blood on things, it really doesn't matter that much. It's gross, but it's not such a big deal.
I'll also add that women are historically considered better about blood because of their, er, intimate knowledge of it. I don't know if that's just another rumor, but if we're throwing out rumors then I figured I'd add mine to the heap.
What? Come on, do you really think half of what you say? We're not programmed for nathing for god's sake!
Yes. Lets all take things too literally and try to present that as a working argument.
To be honest, I really have to ask how much this "programming" is not biological, but cultural.
I suspect that it's rather a lot. I don't think men are instinctively "programmed" to never hit a girl, or that women are instinctively "programmed" to act like passive, masochistic twerps. Either that, or my biological programming is even more fubared than I ever thought it was, and playing "knight," tackle catch, and football with my male friends in elementary school had nothing to do with who I am and how I act today.
That's not saying that there aren't issues--and yeah, as Nikov said, snipe the woman (I would totally do it, if I were in that situation). This isn't some sort of situation were I say "well, you guys are totally wrong and women are A-O-freaking-K in every situation." I think risks have to be taken in the name of progress and a better future, though, in which we are all more free. I don't think that moving straight from not-in-army to the front lines is a good idea, for obvious reasons. Baby steps, to go with our changing society. I'm glad to see that we're making progress. Hopefully the rapes will start to be resolved, and diminished. Hopefully the rest of society will do something about its "rape culture." I guess I'm just saying that I see hope for the future, despite all of this crud and the obvious drawbacks we're currently experiencing.
