I said that even in today's society it is still a man's role is to defend
and provide for women
and children. I did not say it is because these jobs are by nature or by
rule of God jobs for men.

I'm not keeping anyone out of any jobs. If women want to apply for these
jobs and they're qualified to do them, that's fine by me. Maybe in the
future there will be more women taking up the role of defending others in
society. As of today, though, the vast majority of people who have
occupations where they defend people, that is the police, firefighters and
the military, are men.

Doctors, while a valuable group of people, are not relevent to this
discussion. Doctors do not defend. They heal. The person who keeps you from
being knifed is your defender. The person who stitches you up and gives you
medicine if you do get knifed is your doctor. Both valuable
- but very different roles.
