In the extremely unlikely circumstance that you should ever have to face an armed, aggressive female assailant, your chivalry would place you at a serious disadvantage. It's usually the female of the species that is the most violent when they go into the 'protect/attack' mode.
Since the thread has drifted a bit over to WWII; I'll take a small liberty. Some of the best snipers fielded by the Soviet Union during "The Great Patriotic War" were young women. I would imagine that it takes a strong resolve to pop some-one's head like a melon at 200 yards. See the links below:

It's some interesting reading. ........................James.

I'm pretty sure that one of the best WWII Soviet fighter pilots was also a woman....can't think of her name right now.

sweet of you to say so.
Although given that we had (slightly)less pilots shot down, recovered more of them and built more planes almost every month throughout the battle of britain it may not have been quite so desperate as all that, much as I'd like to believe it.

I got sent a link that I don't know how to post
I took a pic of it anyway
But it appears Obama is going / trying to disarm the united states
I don't know if it's true but I've heard several things that point to it
Basically they want one united nation and no more superpowers
Well when they come for my gun I can tell you they will get it one bullet at a time sure they will get me but I'm gonna get a lot of them too
I'd rather die in the us than live in what they have planned

There is fantastic testimony at the Nuremberg trials as to why the battle for Briton was more epic to the Germans than you, as a Brit, seem to give the battle credit for.
They had their landing craft, troops, planes and occupation troops ready. Hitler thought you to be a joke like the French, Belgians and other puny little kingdoms. At that stage he still had a few brain cells that worked and when his fat buddy couldn't make you surrender Hitler thought he would take on the Russians.

I can almost guarantee you thats a joke/satire article.
I could check if you really wanted but first off did it come from something like the daily mash or the onion?

Its not that it wasn't the turning point where invasion of britain became impossible its that it wasnt nearly as close a run thing as people were lead to believe (and still believe) for propaganda purposes.
It was epic but from the beginning of the attacks it was basically unwinnable, their transition to attacking cities just lost it faster.

Rest, take a deep breath. The effort failed to pass and the UN will try again to become the world government in another 4 years.

And spank, yes there is such a movement in the UN. Check it out at the above.

Yeah, turns out I was wrong it's just a conspiracy theory.
I liked this bit from an article I read:
"You only need to look at the European Union, which now crafts around 50 per cent of the laws made in member states like Britain, to understand how unelected global institutions can and have dictated policy on a national level."
The EU crafts 0 laws in britain, the UK parliament is the only body that can craft laws, it has just agreed to pass parallel legislation to that created by the EU.
