An email regarding my post from last night:

As a woman currently serving in the US Army, I was extremely irritated by what the critic in the Washington Post had to say about Kathleen Parker’s book, Save the Males: “She’s at her best when shaming abortion-rights activists for deleting men from the conversation, and at her worst when detailing how women have diluted the military.” I doubt seriously that the critic knows anything about the military, let alone the extremely complex sociological aspects of mixed-gender service. I abhor the liberal attitude that no one can take a critical look at the role of women in the military without being dismissed as somehow anti-woman. It’s a topic that certainly needs more research, but I think most liberals are afraid to dig into it because it might just shatter all their pre-conceived notions of the harmonious, gender-neutral lives we all supposedly live in the military. Okay, now I feel better!
