What's a feminist?

[amcdonald]

In the theory of feminism, it's about "equality". In the practise of feminism it's about "sameness". For instance, the idea that women should always perform the same roles as men, including firefighting, soldiering, etc.

Enough said.

Not pulling the trigger requires more strength.

Depends on the situation. This is where intelligence is needed. And personally I reckon women are calmer under pressure. Except during rag week. And obviously female soldiers could not be deployed in shopping zones where they would get distracted.

If you were in a burning building you would much rather Mrs BP turned up than Wilmslow.

As for soldiering, how much of that requires strength? Pulling a trigger is quite easy.

I think a woman holding a gun who has PMT is pretty scary

I knew a woman who was very calm under pressure - turned out she didn't fully understand the situation thereby proving the case that ignorance is bliss!
