I know people are going to want to kill me for saying this. I will ALWAYS support the troops, I do not support either war they are involved in.

Judge on the individual, not the gender.

[AstoriaMalfoyBitch]

[Ruthlyn]

18:49 look at all the ribbons on that woman's rack in the bottom right-hand corner. THAT is a woman that has seen war!

@tarvisurkhel Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who argues with it? Stop contacting me fool.

[tarvisurkhel]

@Crimble67 it seems to me that ur one of those ppl that will never believe that a woman can be as good as any man, and thats fine, its ur opinion. but i truly believe that a woman can serve in infantry and fight for our country. i believe that to get that job should depend on ability and not gender. so if the woman cant do it, then let the man. but if the woman CAN do it, why stop her?

[tarvisurkhel]

@Crimble67 its not ridicoulus and im not making anything up, its the truth. all u have to do is look around u and know it is the truth. the ideal woman is skinny with littlel to no muscles and the ideal man has very defined muscles. its our culture. but what im trying to get at is, even with all of that a woman can work out to be as strong as any man. therefore this notion that women are weaker is bs.

[Crimble67]

@tarvisurkhel Yes, I will correct you, men and women are physically DIFFERENT, but you want to assert that men are stronger than women simply because females are encouraged by society "to be a certain way" which is totally ridicules.

[tarvisurkhel]

@Crimble67 correct me if im wrong BUT from the minute a girl is born she is suppose to act and look a certain way. the same goes for a boy. boys are encouraged to be strong and gain muscle, a woman in encouraged to be skinny and to not have muscle. now with that going on how can one expect women to be stronger than men on avg. of course there are women out there who can knock out 65 push ups no problem. but that is not the norm. but a woman CAN work out until she has a very strong body.

[Crimble67]

@tarvisurkhel That's why women only have to do 22 push ups in two minutes while men are required to do 65, because most women CAN"T do 65 push ups. War isn't an academic argument, it is REAL unlike the theories that you create in your head!
