There are women boxers too. I don't believe, even as a man, in killing people but I would be shocked if a woman, the creator of life, dishonors her femininity by destroying life.
"a woman, the creator of life, dishonors her femininity by destrying life" - I'm thinking there are a lot of women who disagree with your absurd notions about gender. I'll also add that gender is a spectrum, not a binary construct. So, when you speak in the singular about a "man" gender and a "woman" / "femininity", you're already headed down the wrong path...
" dishonors her femininity by destroying life." Since you appear to be a pacifist, which is OK by me, then you must understand that your double-standard is intrinsically indefensible, i.e. "I don't like it when men kill to defend our country, but I'm especially appalled when women do it." Could you be any more naive and patronizing?
