Tanks. I'm hearing about tanks. You are in a tank for extended periods of time, in battle, under siege. You can't pull the tank over every 5 minutes for a potty break. So do women belong in tanks? Would a tank troop staffed entirely by females be a good idea? Would they bring other issues into where they directed their fire power? I've heard many professional tank crews comment how close the quarters are inside a tank, and that hygiene is actually an issue that impacts performance in the field...i.e., you gotta be able to hold it sometimes for long periods. Also, should tanks have separate facilities for both men and women? How far do we have to go to accomodate two sexes in the same military? Or should we just have troops that are of one sex or the other, but not both? If you were the head of Al Qaeda, would you be more vehement to absolutely defeat America with as many suicide bombers you could generate, if it's leader were a woman like Hillary? Or are they gender blind?

That's why my supply sgt got me a "freshette," aka Lady Jane, as well as some other names. Tactical female, can't always cop a squat, the Lady Jane lets females pee standing up, on a tire, over a cliff, or into a gatorade bottle just as well as guys.
A hint, though: don't try one for the first time while driving a vehicle. You still have to hover, and I kept either speeding up or stopping very quickly. Once the driver behind me in the convoy figured out what was going on, he laughed like hell and let everyone know what was up with my vehicle. Good time was had by all.

Think of all the shaving gear men have to carry, not to mention the time and hot water consumed by shaving every morning. Sure, you can do it with cold water, or no water at all, maybe rush the job... if you don't mind a sore shaving rash or numerous cuts that'd be open to infection.
Shouldn't women be the only ones allowed in tanks, given their average smaller builds and greater patience?
Just imagine what things would be like if women were historically the combatants. You'd get quite a few of them arguing the numerous reasons why men shouldn't be allowed in tanks, in planes, behind a machine gun or in the infantry. Both genders have their own shortcomings, dontchaknow?

first of all, your recommendations of decrease than and obese are off. If somebody is 5'10, she will weight one hundred thirty pounds and be VERY slender. slender ability a number of issues; in shape, greater probably to hold a being pregnant to term, and good genes. some women people would be unable to be slender. yet that's ok, in case you artwork annoying, stay toned, consume desirable and costume properly, adult adult males will observe. and visual ribs have not something to do with something. If I suck in (as maximum fashions do while shooting) my ribs are very seen. i'm one hundred fifteen, yet i'm merely 5'4. i'm not very skinny, have DD's and 37 inch hips. do not use an thought you think of is impossible as an excuse to not be your desirable.

You don't know much about biology. The bladder is not consistent to gender. It depends on family genes.

Way to not give women any credit at all...
Women can hold it just as long as guys can. I have seen it done before. I don't really think it is as big of a deal as you are making it out to be.

Are you a Male female hater? Who cares that they have smaller bladders. They go a little more than guys and they can pee in bottles like guy do when stuck in the same situation.
