I always roll my eyes when somebody lays out a big argument like the guy in here about how they'll lower the standards for women and when the government said they don't plan too their answer is " I don't believe you." Do these people not know how transparent they are ? It's like when people say they don't think there's enough security checks for refugees coming into their country but when you explain the process their answer is " I don't believe you" or "the government is lying". It's pretty obvious they just don't want refugees at all but are trying to sound like they have an actual argument. This guy doesn't want women at all but he's trying to have an argument to stand on.

I also don't really understand what preparations where necessary aside from the body armour thing. Bathrooms maybe.
