day no. 17,315: to accept warriorettes is to accept defeat

"Battles are ugly when women fight.” — C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia, book 1: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

Battles are never pretty, but they are never uglier as when they involve women on the battle front. Women were made to help men by holding down the fort, not by having their six. 

In short, women in warfare are ugly.

"When a woman puts up her fists to a man she is putting herself in the only posture in which he is not afraid of her. He can be afraid of her speech and still more of her silence; but force reminds him of a rusted but very real weapon of which he has grown ashamed." — G.K. Chesterton, A Miscellany of Men

There are few things more embarrassing than beating a girl. If you win, you lose and if you lose, you lose.

“Any nation that defends herself with women in combat is not worth defending.” — Douglas Wilson, A Christian View of War

Any nation that sends its women off to war has already lost the war. Even if they win, they lose. Their behavior is indefensible even if their borders still are.

“A nation that sends its women to fight its wars is not worth defending.” — Pat Buchanan

Allowing women to fight in your place is embarrassing enough, but forcing them to fight is worse. Conscripting anyone is a sin, but conscripting women is a double sin. No woman should be fighting on the front lines and no woman should want to. And no man should force a woman to fight who doesn't want to. The man that would do that should be ashamed. He is worse than an unbeliever.You should not defend the indefensible. It is unconscionable to send women and children to die in order to save the men.

Jeremiah 51:30

The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.

If you win the men, you win the war.  But if you send your women our into harm's way, your homes are already forfeit. If you've lost the men, you've lost the war and someone else's men are soon to be your masters. If your men are content to send men to war, you don't have men anymore. Your men have become women. 

To accept warriorettes is to accept defeat.
