About to read the article, but isn't one of the primary arguments against women fighting in active combat alongside men the biological fact that men are somewhat predisposed to "protect" women? Therefore, it's been argued, men are influenced by a desire to risk their lives/battle security to save women who they perceive as being in danger. EDIT: the article doesn't mention this explicitly, which I found surprising (though the book may). But it does bring up a half-dozen other excellent points.
