I don't know how to respond because you kind of just made a barrage of incorrect assumptions about what I think from the start.

When I asked about women fighting on the front lines, it wasn't because I value women more than men. I was more implying that it wouldn't be a good idea because women are not as physically strong as men and thus less useful in this situation.

But your idea that women have it great while men's lives suck is laughable. Men and women have been subject to slavery from the beginning of time. The ways in which it has been perpetrated has varied. I'm assuming you're aware of sex slavery and women practically being used as incubators. The more modern version of this dynamic is that men are expected to work and provide and women are expected to care for kids and maintain the household. Both are coerced into adopting roles they may or may not desire, and both sides will also probably argue incessantly about which is "worse."

The war between men and women and who has it worse is quite frankly retarded. Both sides endlessly cry about how they're the real victims, when in reality humanity has been wretched to both.

Sex slavery isn't considered acceptable at all. All the exploitations of men are. And in fact sexual abuse is only considered bad when men do it, when women do it it's okay apparently, if we're even willing to admit that they're capable of such evils.

And with regards to military service...there are plenty more jobs other than the ones that require macho man strength. The real reason we're unwilling to put a woman in any position of danger is because her death is far more tragic to our primal minds, as well as any trauma or harship induced. The response to a woman's cry is similar to a child's, to rush to help. The response to a man's cry is telling him to "get over it and shut up". There is a clear difference in how much we care about women vs men.

I think women were too overprotected and silenced and treated like children in the past, but we're over that. And they still get all the benefits of being treated that way and get to have their cake and eat it too.
