True equality's impossible, both are inherently different.

And that justifies treating men as disposable assets of war?

Some of the best combatants in modern warfare - and no few in historical warfare - have been female.

Conscription should not be bigoted and sexist.

Can you provide me with a statistical ratio of those great combatants? Specifically for those who are in the frontlines and fighting.

Men are much more suited for war, and the skill set of women is better utilized elsewhere.

What skillset is that exactly?

hmmm...things that don't require much physical strength and endurance? ( Any answer that is more complex will result in a messy ideological argument, which I don't want to engage in.

Actually, you know what? I don't think I want to continue this argument. I am sorry for provoking your replies and then abandoning the conversion, I really am )

Edit: I usually don't do such a thing but I'm not feeling well today.
