You think *possibly* quite a few women fought Alexander's armies? Really? Maybe they fought off rapists but I seriously doubt they fought as soldiers, but then maybe you could enlighten us with some archeologically/anthropological facts.Warriors, particularly Kshatriya were *protectors* of women, children the elderly and society in general. Stories of Amazons were just that, stories and legends by the Greeks. You might listen to a few more Maharishi tapes regarding the human nervous system. He frequently spoke about women having a more refined and delicate nervous system which allowed them to have even deeper experiences than many men. He also spoke about the effects of stress on human evolution. Maharishi said that a new born's level of consciousness is closest to that of the mother. What effect would something like PTSD have on a child born to a mother with that condition. W e know the kinds of effects Alcohol, and drugs consumed by pregnant mothers has on new born children. So far, women haven't been forced into combat situations, exposing them to that trauma. Do we really want to go there? Yeah, I do think exposing women to the trauma of combat could make them, in general, terrible mothers. In our current social structure, women are the nurturers while fathers are the providers. Do you want mothers with PTSD raising small children? Shaken baby syndrome is bad enough already. Reintroducing tens of thousands of women of child baring age, back from combat, could only make such situations worse. "I have no idea what you're talking about" was probably the most intelligent comment you have made in that post. http://https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_ancient_warfare http://https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_ancient_warfare From: "emily.mae50@...

Doesn't sound very *Vedic* to me. Wondering how many women fought Alexander the Great. Possibly quite a few. Doesn't Maharishi talk about the delicate female nervous system and it should be protected to protect future generations, or sumpin like that? What in the world does this mean? We're already producing a lot of *f*ed up kids as it is. What are you talking about here and how does this point relate to either what MMY said (whatever it was) or the point in question? Imagine women coming home from prolonged military engagements and then having kids. Do you think this isn't happening? What are you trying to imply here? That women who serve in the military or in combat positions will make terrible mothers? Huh? I don't know, maybe just the *chauvinism* in me. Watcha think Emily and Anne? I have *NO IDEA* what you are talking about. -------------------------------------------------------- I'm a conscientious objector and I am completely opposed to the draft for everyone. If there is a draft under the most extreme of circumstances, it should be an equal opportunity draft. No more baby boomer generations! Why should society take care of all those extra people?
