I mean, while I am a traditional feminist insofar as equal pay for equal work, promote women to the top if they really earn it type stuff, yada yada yada, I also hold a couple of tuff questions for some women who push these kinds of things at the same time.<br /><br />For instance:<br /><br />If women join the military, why don't they get buzz cuts like the boys? If men need to cut their hair to do that job and women want that job then the hair cut is justified for them too (or let the men off that hook).<br /><br />But even deeper than than, I wonder why women want that job - especially the combat roles. I don't think anyone should be wanting that role under any circumstance. We humans really need to wrestle more deeply with beating swords into plowshares and pruning hooks etc.<br /><br />If there is any level in this where the women want the job out of envy of men, then that is messed up beyond all recognition. This is the part where I call the feminists in for question.<br /><br />But in the end, I am not overly passionate about feminism. I figure I should devote more concern there than I do. And at some points in my life it has proven more serious to me than others. <br /><br />So, I am a lousy feminist. But, I care like a feminist in some ways.<br /><br />blessings...Agent Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478751219282855503noreply@blogger.com
