Why was this terse? Lots of people give one line answers, why write
more lines than you need to? I didn't mean for it to be terse. That's
all I had to say.

No, not really. But I didn't feel up to arguing with you.

Well, inaction is like that I guess. Good ole inaction saves the day
time after time, no?

I never said I thought they were totally equal. I don't know where you
picked up that idea.

I just think that a lot of women could do just as well as a lot of
men. Not all men are cut out for combat either. I knew a man who said
he spent the whole war peeling potatoes. Now, I could do that.
Obviously, he wasn't in combat if peeling potatoes. But I'm sure there
are a lot of other women who would be bored peeling potatoes. Let's
not use potatoes, that just popped out. Let's use....working in the
mess hall, and working the ice cream machine. Now, I could work the
machine if it's the kind like they have at Western Sizzlin. I could
probably be *taught* to use another kind, if it wasn't run by a
computer :) Now, I'm sure there are tons of women who would be bored
working the ice cream machine and would rather be in combat, and would
be of more service to their country. Inversely, I'm sure there are
some men who wouldn't be that great in combat, but would probably
be better working the ice cream machine. So he and I could work the
machine and the other people could go kill people. So?

Isn't this the thread where we  were talking about the department of
justice not having centers for men who were victims of abuse?
