Man enough that when a town drunk type neighbor, in a stupor, made a pass at my Sainted Irish grandmother Rose- he put the SOB into the hospital for a good long spell. He and my father taught me respect for women, even prostitutes that littered Canal St. in his era- post WW1. But he also believe in the Germanic code: Kinder, Kuchen und Kirch-- and that women were to stay home and tend their children and the husbands supported their family and shouldered willing their duty to same- no exceptions. Our Country went to hell in a basket in 1920- the women who foolishly thought that banning the sale of alcohol (VolsteadAct) and the suffragettes and Margaret Sanger and Lydia Pinkham were the future for the fems- women don't belong in politics (including Billary) and on the Courts, their judgement is affected by "hormonal issues". The few female Officers I saw, Stateside or in "Nam, we saluted them and that was that- they never served in any combat units that I knew of.
