As opposed to a protective instinct towards all people, regardless of gender?Considering a lad I know was awarded a CGC for running into open ground in a fire fight to try and save his mate who’d been wounded and this type of selfless action doesn’t seem overly unusual throughout the history of wars, sometimes even to save the life of an enemy soldier.
it would seem many soldiers, especially those who have the bond that can only be forged in combat, have a protective instinct towards those they serve alongside regardless of gender.In addition to the scenario of a man staying on a fast sinking ship to provide a woman with a place in or time to board a lifeboat.IE prevention still based on the idea of male protective instincts towards women.
On that note are you saying that this scenario would be no more horrific if it was a woman ( someone’s daughter/wife/sister/mother ) having been fatally wounded.If so I find that an inconceivably offensive inhuman view.While also showing the ridiculous contradiction in feminists moaning about violence towards women on one hand while being happy for them to face the violence of military combat on the other.
I don’t think there is a difference man or woman, it is horrific, I’ve worked with wounded soldiers from recent conflicts, and it’s quite obvious that what happened to them was horrific and that doesn’t include the ones affect just by what they saw, I can’t even begin to imagine what they saw, heard and had to deal with and often many of them were barely out of school.
And in modern warfare, injuries are not just restricted to combatants, WWII we had civilians (young, old, men, women and children) getting bombed and in the occupied countries they were tortured and killed merely on the suspension of working for the resistance and then getting caught up in the fighting for the liberation of Europe. In recent times there have been no boundaries as to who gets caught in an act of terrorism suffering horrendous injuries or who dies in the war zones.
As for feminists, well if they want equality, that means they should also accept equal risks as men have to accept.
