Women fighters.

[GeauxLSU]

I guess I'm the last man on the planet that finds the concept of professional women fighters disgusting and finds the fascination around it depressing.
Born 100 years too late I suppose.
But yeah... women's lib, gender neutrality, and "progress" I guess...

Never thought about it. If the thread started out women in combat I would wholeheartedly agree. Guess I just look at fighting like any other sport. I am not at all interested in women's fighting but not disgusted, just meh.

Not my thing, but if two consenting females want to fight it out then I really don't care. Just don't need to see it personally.

Strip um down and oil um up!! let them go at it, and the party begins

An interesting point. You view them completely differently apparently and so do I. While I don't support women on the front lines, I certainly don't find it demeaning.
I guess I grew up where being a "lady" meant something and getting paid to fight for entertainment was no where in the equation. Likewise a "gentleman" would have never found it entertaining much less becoming.
This by the way isn't an admonishment (I'm also old enough to realize that would be wasted cyberspace). It's a genuine bewildering observation.

Women in battle? Their is a place for them, but not on the ground in a battle. Maybe a FOB or in the air. But if I am on the ground and hit, I don't want to depend on a female, to pull me out of the line of fire. I love women, but in a ground battle, they have no place to fill in my humble opinion.

I had plenty of females in my platoon/squad over the years....I would honestly go to war with and depend on about 1/2 of em.

I am all for equal opportunity and such but I have the same sentiments. In fact, while I was once a big boxing fan, I now think it is somewhat a brutal form of "entertainment". Though I admit I still appreciate the skill and commitment of the boxers.

I'm raising two daughters in this gender neutral mess and it seems like the only thing society applauds as feminine is a woman's body. Everything else is about being able to do what the boys can do.
