| Message | but how could anyone deny that men and women are different? They have so many dissimilarities that giving them the same oppurtunities is foolish. |

| Message | They are different, and many women could not pass the physical tests to be allowed in combat. A woman who is able to pass those tests is, for combat purposes, not different from a man. |

| Message | This was just passed by my doing. The argument is because heavy back packs that are used in battle over extended periods of time damage a womens pelvis. Because they have a different structure. This is proven by many medical research into this feild. |
