10/25/2007: "Author says women don't belong in military"

Kingsley Browne, law professor at Wayne State University in Michigan, is used to being called a male chauvinist. In a previous book he argued that biological differences between the sexes—rather than injustice—explain the existence of the glass ceiling. His new book, "Co-Ed Combat: The New Evidence That Women Shouldn't Fight the Nation's Wars," due out Nov. 8, argues that women are not physically and psychologically suited for combat. His contention: their presence on the front lines even endangers the military itself. Browne explained his views to NEWSWEEK's Martha Brant.

[ I'd rather go to fight so they women I know don't have to. Same way I go to a job every day so they don't have to. Homemaking is more important than some stupid job, and any of the stupid wars we've fought. I think men are biologically unsuitable for it as well. What's so hard about complementary gender roles? ]
