316. And you have no idea what it is
like to be a woman whose son is in a war and who could be killed at any moment, or a mother who HAS suffered the loss of her son, or a woman whose husband has been killed in a war, leaving her with young children to raise alone and shattered emotions and dreams, or a young woman who's lost her fiance in a war and who will never know what she thought would be the great joy of sharing her life with the love of her life, or a daughter who's lost her father in the war and who will never be able to have him walk her down the aisle at her wedding, or hold her children, etc., etc., etc.

My uncle was a Marine in Vietnam who'd be the first to agree that women also suffer terribly in wartime. But no, to you, we all just sit around all day on easy street, eating ice cream and bon bons and plotting how we can further destroy men.
