Why is it deemed wrong to say that having women in certain career fields in the military only causes problems?

Question

It is a fact once women were put aboard ships, it caused problems. When women are in a command, there are more problems. I'm not saying it is because the women CAUSE the problems, often men can't handle a women there and too many horny guys cause the problems. However, in an organization like special operations where everyone is professional and there to do a job, women are not around and it works smoothly. There are women in supporting roles and that works fine as well. What do you think? For all the "FemiNazis" who want to tell me I'm a sexist, please open your mind and answer the question.

You are correct. In certain areas the sexual tension and temptation would cause more harm than good. I am all for equal oppotunity, but in some cases it just doesn't make sense.

The problem is NOT with women in the military, it is with women in combat arms professions.  Before, everyone starts screaming, I am FULLY aware and realize that with the current status quo, no one really knows friend from foe and where the next hit is going to take place.  For me, it is more from a hygiene and medical standpoint.  I, personally, have spent 45 days in the field with nothing more than a "HOOAH" bath.  

Example One:  Anatomically speaking, as we all know, there are a lot more "nooks and crannies" women must keep clean or else they will get a wicked infection.

Example Two:  IF taken prisoner, the mindset of the enemy is to break you down and get information, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.  Rape would be the number 1 step to break down a female soldier and it wouldn't be just 1 person doing the deed......Not meaning to classify here, however, not that many men are going to rape another man to try and get information out of him.

Can women function is a combat environment, YES, they prove it every single day.  Can women function in the same capacity physically as men can, NO, women are not built the same way as men.  Do this mean that should or shouldn't be allowed to serve in combat units, NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE...but, as per the examples above, there are a ton of logistics questions that would have to have some very set in stone answers.

Woman are in no way suited to the job 
Just look at Lyndie England and other occurences with other woman

I think it alters the definition of war when you put woman in there, im not opposed to woman who are seriously interested but i believe woman should stick to manufacturing guns and weapons and engineering war items.

There were issues when black people were integretated into the military but you don't blame black people.  Do you?  

Eventually, people settled down and either got with the program or got out.  Problem solved.
