This is like saying we should only have partial slavery. rolleyes

Women are also socialized to protect their families. I happen to think that women are a hell of lot meaner when it comes to protecting what's theirs. If males can't stand the thought of working/fighting with their military sisters, maybe THEY should be the ones to withdraw. men may have more upper body strength, but women have greater endurance.
