Why are females to be seached by only female soldiers, but men can be searched by both sexes? This is sexist!

Unless you plan on writing a resolution to stop this I don't think this post belongs in the UN

Greetings.

Perhaps this is a human-biological-taboo thing. We see this in humans often. For example, if a human's blood type is AB, it can accept blood donations which are types AB, A, B and O; humans with blood type O can only accept donations of type O. This seems analogous to type 'man' being searchable by both 'man' and 'woman', but type 'woman' only being searchable by 'woman'.

Then again, as we are half-daemonic, we are not sure if this is of appropriate relevance.

Ditto to that...

Yes I agree that the searches would be sexist. But who is to say that the invading nation would even follow our rules? I mean it should work both ways, males only by males, females only by females. It would prevent rape and other types of situations. But what if the soldier is homosexual? What happens then?

I am assuming this is about my resolution currently at vote?

If so it should be in the proper thead stickied at the top of this forum :)

There are a lot of loopholes you can fly a jumbo jet through in this resolution including what you've raised here. The reason is simple, the charater limit beat me and some things had to be left out.

It is a assumption on my part that most armies are mostly men so the chances of men being searched by women are a lot smaller than the opposite. Thats all there is too it.
