I've always been kinda "hey, if women are too smart to go around letting people shoot at them, I'm okay with that." But I think Israel might disagree with him on that biological difference thing...

I think you have an excellent point there. However, I've just been too tired this semester to even attempt to referee a discussion on Israel in any form. *hangs head* I'm a wimp, I know.
