What do the people opposing women in combat roles have to say about the Israeli military?

Figs...... the Israeli military does so out of necessity.. and even still,no women in any sort of special operations- as you have women being put thru Ranger School here

Harry S Truman....
My "argument" that men are physically stronge rthen women is not an argument at all.... it is fact. And I"ll ignore your second comment because that's clearly ridiculous

Women in combat roles, which you have argued would be disastrous. Is it disastrous in Israel? Evidence please.

Women have been in combat roles in the IDF since 2000, and they make up 3% of Israel's combat forces.

Yes, clearly. Anyone who says otherwise is a misogynist, consciously or subconsciously.

Standing on a high horse is not how you win debates. I agree that women should be allowed to serve in the military, so long as the standards are not lowered, but just declaring anyone who disagrees with you a misogynist is immature. Why not address the other side and actually make a coherent argument. "sexist, sexist, sexist!" remarks don't help your cause.

I don't disagree in general, but in this case there's not really much of a coherent argument presented in defense of women not being allowed in combat that doesn't boil down to sexism.
