A Victory for Gender Equality! | Clarissa's Blog
It would be impossible for me to imagine that women's physiology is wrong for all combat situations. It would be wrong for some, but just perfect for others. Guerrilla warfare and counterinsurgency might be just perfect for women, under many circumstances, whereas heavy artillery would not be. Nobody can easily carry a cannon for several kilometers.
I think those who suggest that women would generally not be suited to the army lack imagination as to what it takes to kill. Not every situation demands that you stand in front of the enemy and display your brawn.
