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.

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!

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

Not pulling the trigger requires more strength.

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.

Shouldn't they be fighting for mens right to have babies then [/Monty Python]

categorical error

fem·i·nism/ˈfeməˌnizəm/
Noun:
The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.

What does it mean, anyway, to say that 3 apples are "equal to" 3 oranges? If you prefer oranges, they're not. If you're applesexual that's a different story.

This is about taking an arithmetical concept and misapplying it in the sphere of human interactions. How does it translate?...

If we had, either there would be no need for feminism or feminism is simply misandry dressed up in the language of victimhood.

Bingo!!!

Eh - hang on - everyone's agreeing with wim now?

Erm I was agreeing with doodab.

While you're up, put the kettle on, there's a good girl!

Hahahahaha

I was just responding to each counter point.

I thought my previous posts were explicit enough, obviously not, judging by others comments. I have a full life and have a partner thanks.

Let me guess, you are a obese beardy anti social with no friends who lives with his mum and plays playstation all day.

The definitive answer to "What's a feminist?" is of course "A bitch looking for a slap!".

I think we can close this discussion now.

Ahh, the war of the sexes, sorry chaps but we lost that one a long time ago.
