Good points Muskrat.
The way i dealt with it was to consider
females as soldiers in uniforms/combats but
as ladies in civies in public.
Tough i know,but worthwhile.They felt that
they were part of the unit & still maintained
the feminim (sp) aspects outside of the unit.
A old time WO once told me " inside the gate
they are soldiers,outside the gate they are
ladies treat them as such whether they
deserve it or not"
As for the mother dieing,that happens to
both sex,s,its part of the job.
Just as bad for her kids as it would be for
a dad not coming home.
And yes most older males are trained &
conditioned to protect females by our
mothers (of all people)& we don,t want to
disappoint momma now do we?
Is it a good thing? sometimes.
Does it seeem cavemanish? oh ya.
Can we change? i sure hope so.
If we can be conditioned as children to treat
everybody the same then future generations
will handle this better than us old cavemen.
These are just thoughts of mine,but what does
a old caveman really know about sexism today?
