The original feminists, such as Susan B. Anthony, embraced their femininity and knew that while men and women were different, they were equal in dignity and should have similar opportunities, but did not seek to lower the standards. If a woman wanted to compete with men, it was on an equal playing field, without lowering the standards for one gender over the other.
Modern feminists, such as Gloria Steinem, eschew it. Modern feminism says you must act like a man in order to be equal to one. Modern feminism hates motherhood and is full of misandry .
Well said. It cracks me up when I see articles in the news about women wanting to "try" front-line combat, yet they also have to do half or less than half of all the physical requirements the men do. You can't participate in half of the front-line combat. When the bullets start to fly, the enemy doesn't care if you can't pull your buddy out of the line of fire. They'll shoot you both just the same.
Tell that to the Israelis. Women were on their front lines in 1948. After that, they were auxiliary units. Since the first female fighter pilot graduated in 2001, the women were reabsorbed into combat units. that's a pretty badass fighting force if you ask me. http://www.mahal-idf-volunteers.org/information/background/content.htm
