It seems to me evolution has endowed us all with different qualities, equaly important but not the same.

Wha? As usual Fred you miss my point
do you actually read the posts carefully that you answer Fred, or are you on that Southern Comfort again

Indeed many people think it is worse when a woman dies compared to a man. When was the last time you heard a news report like "20 people killed in a freak accident, including 5 men!" ? As a society we absolutely value a womans life more than a mans and I am saying that women should fight against this and make it truly equal.
There are probably quite a few male front line combat soldiers in the ADF that several of the female gladiators on TV couldn't be every bit as good as or better, at engaging an enemy in close quarters and as such shouldn't be prevented from doing so purely on the basis of their gender.
