Warren Farrell said in his new book, that women should take on dangerous jobs and get paid extra for danger money, because no company would dare say that they aren't as capable as men at the work, but those same companies will protect them far more than they would a man.
I think there is a BIG maybe over that issue. It is men mostly who organise such dangerous jobs and these men and the men that do them try as much as possible to limit the danger. They generally succeed. I see no reason to have to increase safety checks more than is reasonable or possible without making the task impossible to do at all. If its good enough for men its good enough for women. If it isn't good enough for men then such better safety measures should be forthcoming. If men haven't organised to provide such measures then I would hold them responsible for their own folly.
Some jobs carry more risk than others and demand specialist skills. Some environments are more dangerous than others. That's what training is for and equipment is for. As for more money - danger money - I see no reason to pay more money to women than to men. Do women astronauts get higher pay than male ones??? Pretty bloody dangerous job having tons of explosive strapped to your arse and being rocketed up to where there isn't any air.
Fighting is a necessary and dangerous job. Equality of the sexes demands that woman do their share.
If a nation's President or Prime Minister thinks there would be a backlash just because its women sent to do the fighting, then get rid of the outdated, sexist, wimp. It is time we had some real leaders.
There
will be more 1939s. The American experience of war on their own soil is far removed in time and very limited. War isn't just about going overseas and fighting on someone elses patch. Preferable, admittedly, but sometimes it comes to your patch.
If women want equality - and I for one say why not - then they should carry the responsibility for that equality and do as the men have to. Men's legs and lives are worth just as much as women's.
MRAs MUST value themselves properly. We must DEMAND our value be recognised. If it's not, then REFUSE to join the fighting forces.
