    Effort, the combat thing...

    Women are not in combat because they are not allowed to be - not becuase of their own choice. I would love to see women 'allowed' in combat positions.

    You sound like a man who has a lot of enmity toward women. I'm sorry that your experiences have been so bad. Surprisingly, life is still no equality-laden cakewalk for women, either.

    Artificial wombs are only about 20 years away - maybe then there will be more parity in this issue.
