A recipe for disaster ...

Seems the Frothy Mixture doesn't like the idea of women in combat either.

...

I'm not sure what he meant by that but it sounds as though he thinks the soldiers will all be involved with each other and they will get "emotional" when their turtledove is in danger. Or maybe he just thinks the men will be all chivalrous and manly and won't let the little ladies do the fighting and everything will get all messed up.

...

But then again, according to him, the only thing women are good for is keeping house and making babies.
