It seems that men traditionally fight as soldiers to protect their wives and children. What happens when women and children turn to their men and say that they don't want or need that protection? That's what is happening. More and more women are apparently telling men that they would rather do their own protecting, and let the men stay home playing video games while their women bleed and die for them.

The Japanese were absolutely brutal to the men they captured in World War II. I wonder how they would have treated the women? And that's what women are looking forward to?

Perhaps it means that we are finally growning up.

And no longer consider women the 'weaker' sex.

FYI, I don't think ANY woman 'wants' to be sexually abused.

But if you think that sexual abuse does not happen to men, you need to watch a few seasons of 'Oz.'

Wow. Thanks for educating me. I hadn't realized that we have now evolved so that women's upper body strength matches that of men, and that they are able to fight hand-to-hand with men on an equal strength basis. No wonder the military is now recruiting women to do jobs that used to be reserved for men.

And I'm so happy to learn that our enemies have become more civilized, so that they wouldn't take advantage of a woman prisoner, but treat her with the utmost of respect until the war is over and she is returned to her children.
