So believing in equality as you do ....can I presume that you would see nothing wrong with a man and a woman fighting/struggling for a seat on the life-boat ?, or would you take the Lytton Strachey view when asked at his pacifist application hearing what he would do if he found a German soldier raping his sister and answered "Sir I would try to come between them "
No matter how fashionable and trendy it is in Tony's and Cherrie's new egalitarian UK to say a woman is equal to a man in all things is incorrect, just the fact that a woman is able to bear children puts her at a disadvantage in hostile situations in the event of capture ( I think the chances of a female POW being raped/sexually abused by her captures are a thousand times higher than her male counterpart ).
As deplorable as domestic violence is, I think there would be a lot more big black cars heading up Burnley Rd. if men really thought women were their equal and treated them as such .
