An Inconvenient Woman
**Just think how much better women would’ve been treated and thought of in both christian and muslim faiths if her role would’ve been acknowlegde. But no, cultural prejudices on gender had to persist and enslave have the human race based on sex alone. If you look at where women stand today internationally, we haven’t come as far as we would like to believe. We are just better off then women in other countries and we just don’t want to see what they are going through. But if we did, we would have to acknowledge that we really haven’t come that far and we could easily go back.

**There is hope! I have my fingers crossed for him. I couldn’t fully understand why they would have to put him down when other animals (dogs…etc) have gone on with only 3 legs.

Women vets refuse ‘victim’ label
**I had planned to comment on this awhile ago. I believe these women should be held to as proof that they can serve as fully as men. They have suffered the conquences of war and have endured, for better or worse, just like the men. Women have been suffering the conquences of war since man learned how to inflict pain onto one another. The difference is serving is that they have been given the choice on how to suffer war, whether hiding in a corner or being allowed to take their fate in their own hands.
