WOMEN SHOULD BE BANNED FROM COMBAT AND FOOTBALL  
Monday, March 08, 2004

Recently, I was called to make a few comments on women in combat. I have a column on the Family Concerns website that the caller had read and she wanted some live quotes for her magazine.

My view on women in combat is that women should not be there regardless of the feminist women who want equality with men at every level. Military combat is not a career opportunity for a woman!

If women are going to be sent to the frontlines, then Defense Department information about what happens to them must be made available. There is great risk in being sent with a support unit to frontlines or in an all male unit. What happened to Pfc. Jessica Lynch was wretched. She was the victim of unmerciful sexual assault. Female captives are most always sexually assaulted and tortured. That Jessica Lynch’s life was saved by Iraqi doctors was a miracle of God.

I don’t know if the University of Colorado football program is equal to combat, but it is almost certain that it will never put a female on its squad again.

Katie Hnida has told “all” in Sports Illustrated of how she was raped and how she suffered under the barbaric behavior of football players and recruits.

Three other women came forward to say they had been sexually assaulted by football athletes since 1997.  Should women be banned from playing football? Of course they should. Yet, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) reports 1, 477 high school girls participated on the tackle football teams last year at 306 U.S. high schools.

Where are the parents of those girls? Have they just bought into the feminist
ideology that women are equal to men, that men aren’t needed anyway, and that marriages do nothing but oppress women - so women should take men’s positions.

It has been proven that women are not as strong as men and that they cannot
persevere in battle like men. Also, women placed on male battleships become pregnant
and have to be sent to military hospitals.

What are men to do? How can they perform their duty as men and respect women while at the same time do their duty as a soldier or a player? It can’t be done. It only increases major disrespect for women.

Rules made during the Clinton administration that put women in combat need to be changed. This might influence football teams or hopefully open the eyes of some fathers.

The U.S. military should ban women in combat and all U.S. schools should ban girls from playing football.
