This may have been true, but as we moved from WWI, WW2, Korean police action, Viet Nam War, et al, the death rate from childbirth dropped precipitously. Those of us who came back from the Viet Nam War found that while many of us were dying women were applying for the available jobs. A lot of these women ensured that these veterans did not fit back into American society and many painted us as defective human beings undeserving of the country's thanks. I witnessed this! So in many ways "priss rules" is correct though in artfully stated.<br />An interesting thing happened when a significant number of 60's generation men who avoided military service moved up into positions of authority they began to realize they could use women to keep any real competition from other men from happening. This also aided them in punishing the men who served their country with whom they disagreed, felt some insecurity and hated as individuals. Women became the perfect pawn in what was a political war agains't all things military. The same thing still exists today on the Left. Feminism and many men on the Left have done their best to destroy any hint of masculinity even to the point of redefining it. Too many of use experienced the reality to not give it the attention it deserves.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-61608323635670001262015-07-20T04:04:59.917-07:002015-07-20T04:04:59.917-07:00Why are our military men and women being told to e...Why are our military men and women being told to effectively hide from terrorists in our own country?
