Yes. The SADF was pretty lean. I doubt the IDF sees the same kind of profiteering you get in the states either. Much of the popular perception that the army is wasteful arises from private contractors in the US; I don;t think it's like that all over.

Sure. Don't deny that. On the other hand, it's hardly unique to the militaryt copntext, is it? It's a risk that women are exposed to all the time. Plus, a lot of the aggression toward women in the military may arise precisely becuase its a male only echo chamber for misogynistic and aggressive ideas.

It seems legitimate to me to question how the cohabitation between women and male teenagers/young men (prime age for violence and rape say the statistics) is going to work out.
All good arguments against not letting women work or go to school at all.

"Why should innocent businesses be forced to spend millions of pounds installing female toilets? Obviously there's no question that women might actually have useful productive skills that they might want to use, so this is an unnecessary expense. All the more so in state schools where it is my taxes that will be used to rennovate the buildings so that these females can pretend to be participating in education. And then what happens when one of them gets raped, eh? We all know that when us chaps get a bit of a buggering at school or in the Navy that's all part of the fun, but the instant that it happens to a woman no doubt she'll be running around screaming, having fits of the vapours. And what about mice? Should one of these places get infested with mice, how will we handle all the females jumping up on chairs and fainting all day? Answer me that! Best keep them at home all together, I say."

I'm not an expert, but I think it depends on how strong the dose is and how hormonal the client.

Searching YouTube for "women wrestling" turned up more than 8.000 hits. I suspect most of it is soft pornography to attract men rather than designed to display women's excellence in a sport formerly considered to be exclusively male.

But maybe there is a niche somewhere there that athletic women can begin to exploit.

Maybe one day they could compete in the Olympics.

The porn Olympics that is, not the real thing, obviously. Wouldn't want to go overboard.

Cultural aside: in Japan, where cat fighting is popular, it's often seen as a step on the way up to or down from the "real" wrestling leagues. (Both controled by the mob.)
