However, I bristle

at the thought of barring women from combat zones. I don’t like the idea that the solution to women being assaulted, not just under these circumstances, but across the board and in every circumstance, is to keep crossing activities off of the list of things we should be permitted to do, or to keep in place existing restrictions on our choices. I don’t like the idea of taking it for granted that a woman would want to serve anyplace other than the combat zone, or that option not being available for any woman who wants to.

We have to stop making decisions based on what men may do to us. The men in question should simply be required to stop doing us harm or be held accountable for doing so.
