This contrasts with the Knight's initial belief that women desire dominance and control.
Women in the Military is a fine example of why the sexism in the world is pointless. I've personally met many female soldiers. Females in the Army/Marines/Navy/Air Force is a great thing, for there are actually many jobs women can do better than males.
