Mother of All Blunders send to war a mother of toddlers
I like to point out an article by a female journalist
who discusses the position of woman in the society...read between the lines please...
www.washingtonpost.com
excerpts:
...a once-great power such as Britain sends mothers of toddlers to fight its battles.
...
Why the West has seen it necessary to diminish motherhood so that women can pretend to be men remains a mystery to sane adults. It should be unnecessary to say that the military is not a proper vehicle for social experimentation but is a machine dedicated to fighting and, if necessary, killing.
...
What kind of man, one shudders to wonder, is willing to allow his country's women to be raped and tortured by men of enemy nations? None that I know, but our military is gradually weaning men of their intuitive inclination to protect women -- which, by extrapolation, means ignoring the screams of women being assaulted.
