It applies in countries like china where women may serve in active combat roles. The soviet union also employed female soldiers, pilots, gunners, officers, etc.
These feminists should be careful, if they push too hard they may find theselves back in the 19th century with nary a right to vote. Ruining it for every woman on the planet. The tragedy is, there are women in many developing countries that have no rights, they should be focusing on emancipating these women, not piling up rape laws in their respective countries.
I was replying to somebody who simply said 'women and men are equal' giving neither context nor further clarification. So YOU need to grasp the context within which my response was posted. You're the one missing the point.
EQUAL? Well in what ways? Certainly not in all ways. In atheltics for example women and men have to compete separately because women are physically weaker at that level.
This is why all couples should be forced to acquire a licence to make babies. Those that do not should be forced to each pay 50% of a massive life crippling fine that ends their prospects of rearing children forever. $50,000 each on an affordable repayment scheme is a good figure, alternative is being sold into slavery for a minimum of 20 years. The illegal child would be sent to the military and trained from birth as a stormtrooper.
