Women, or rather the gender issues surrounding them, cause enough problems in support roles in the military, let alone if they were placed in combat units.

So...it was a problem when the units were desegregated, and now things are fine. But if we had women serve with men, the same thing wouldn't happen, because "the social dynamic of race is a far cry from that of gender"? I think you found your poor argument.
