This is a subject that is very dear to my heart. I grew up on a ranch. There were no sons, I was a middle child. My older sisters were gone and my baby sister was too younge. So I was my daddy's son. He taught me that when I worked with the other men and boys at the neighbors branding, that I was always to remember that I was a lady, no matter which job I was doing! As an adult, I worked with my husband with men. I still followed what my daddy taught me. My husband was also a firefighter. When he was fighting a big church fire, he fell about halfway through a ceiling. Had he fell, he would have fell into the fire. Another fireman literally grabbed him by the back of his neck and jerked him up! I would have hated to have depended on a woman to save my husband. My point is, we women can do lots of things with men, but we are FEMALE. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, I love being a woman.

I would imagine that the Ranger Capt. that did that very thing, and is a women - would like to have 2 seconds of conversation with you about that - assuming it would even take THAT long for her to change your mind.

If it is your contention that conservative men are scared of losing their superiority over women, then that is ANOTHER reason I am glad I'm not named a conservative. I hope you stay true to your beliefs though - and refuse help from female cops and firefighters - even if that means your death. A conservative man who would rather die than admit that they were wrong, is someone I can respect. :lol: :roll:

Thank you for your comment. why the "progressives" are so dead set on creating a genderless society is beyond me, which is one of the reasons I get so upset with this transgender nonsense. Except for a very small number of people who have genetic abnormalities like an extra x chromosome those who believe they are of the opposite sex have a mental identity dysphoria problem, they are not of a third or fourth sex. It is time that we recognize that men and women are different, neither better or worse than the other, just different, and I thank God every day for the difference as I look at the wonderful woman I married over 50 years ago.

In several venues- not the least is the political- kindly, warm, emotionally-driven, women are pretending to be totally equal to men in all things.

Women are not equal in a lot of really important situations, yet they pretend to be exactly that. What could be more stupid? Well, one thing which could be more stupid is the man who thinks that he is superior to women in all things. Since facts are facts and millions of years of evolution cannot be denied without dire consequences, isn't it time to reinstate the principles of reason and logic and allow nature to dictate roles according to genetic strengths and genetic weaknesses?

Should our daughters be taught to believe they can hump eighty pounds of battle gear and drag a 220 pound wounded buddy to safety?

I think that is folly. And I will vote "conservative", so shoot me, ok?

Hey, we're all entitled to an opinion....to each his or her own. I'm getting close to 70, hip check 400 lb. llamas when the opportunity presents itself and is necessary, and while it isn't 80 lbs. of battle gear, nor for extended periods of time, drag around 50 lb. feed bags....regularly. I did not move to the country until I was 53. I got a crash course in country living!! I guess what I'm trying to say is that in my opinion daughters should be taught that if it's something they really desire to do, then they should go for it, ignore the naysayers. I don't know if the picture of my 3-year-old granddaughter will show up or not as an attachment. My son took the picture at a friend's farm. If, for some reason the picture doesn't come through, it is of Emma on a friend's tractor. She was obviously loving life! Emma is being encouraged by HER FATHER to believe in herself, that the sky is the limit. She is fearless. My 5-year-old granddaughter, along with her older brother, is involved in mixed martial arts. Not all young girls or young women have a desire to do things considered out of the box by others, but they, in my opinion, need to be given a chance to make that decision themselves.

The Marine Corps did a study and they were very clear about the results.

You can't seriously equate the physical requirements of flying an airplane to the physical requirements of combat infantry.

Meanwhile, the idea that women must pass the same physical tests as men in police and fire jobs never happened - the requirements are remarkably different.

Meanwhile, if you continue to believe the physical capabilities of both genders are equal, why not then have women in professional sports? Let's force the NBA and the WNBA to merge and have gender based quota system for each position.
