As long as the females have to meet the EXACT requirements as men, then I have no problem with it. Well, that's not true. There is a thing that lies in every single man.
It's his birthright, since the dawn of time, to wage war, start fights at bars, and generally do violent things A LOT better than women.
Even if we can't do it a lot better, we like to think we can. You see, this is very important to the male. Females have called it chauvinism and sexism, but to males it's just the way it is. We feel like we're super heroes in our own right, and that physical feats and fighting heroically in war are all just means to an end----- Female admiration and increased chances at getting laid.
Ok, so males will not join the CF to get laid. But the one thing they won't tell you, that all of them are thinking, is that it COULD and hopefully will get them laid more. And having women in your ranks kind of drains any romance that men want out of war. What's so heroic and manly about fighting in a battle with women, this is the mental block that will confuse us, and make us question wether we got short changed in our wartime experience. Will women admire me when they can join this once manly institution? What will I have on women? Why would they bother respect me or acknowledge my attempt at waxing manly if women can join up?
Yes, men are romantic about war. WE love the idea of dieing for our women and kids. We want to be champions and knights. We want to be regarded as brave and strong, characteristics that men since the dawn of time have strived for and will continue to do so. We really take these things seriously. Much more than women.
You can call it childish and silly. I don't question the female mind. Some things about it I find silly too, but I let them be, because nothing in the world will change them, no PC pandering, government legislation, or social engineering will ever change women in our society. ANd the same goes for men. We see war as a mans game. It's not personal, it's nature.
