The point I was trying to make is while it is true that women can serve in the military they
do not fight in a war.
As far as the gender issue, all I can say is that men and women are different. Women build nests, Men build castles. A nest can't be built with out a castle to protect it, and it is pointless to build a castle without a nest to protect. I consider the primary purpose of government to be castle-building.
But notice, I would rather support a "those who pay - vote" system which would include both women and men who meet the criteria. I think there is something wrong when the poor can simply vote to give themselves rich people's money because there are more of them than the rich folk. When you own a piece of land somewhere, you really become tied to a place instead of just moving through.
