Here is a post I made a couple of years ago :
Frustrated sister at Ummah.com

There is a thread at ummah with the title :
If you were to give a gun and a helmet and said FIGHT...Would You?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and here are some of the replies made by a muslimah with the nick Ruhi Islam :
YES I WOULD!!!
I am a sister but I would, I have more courage and passion than most (non-Muslim-because my muslim brothers are courages) MEN! Yes I do, not only would I go and fight, but I would also raise the flag of Islam, I would cut my hair and use it as a whip, I would grow and sharpen my nails and use them as claws...
How I wish I was at the time of the prophet asw so i could fight, walahi I would have killed so many of the oppressors, just give me the opportunity now and see what I will do, i will turn the world upside down...where are our leaders to dictate us? Ya hasratana, Only if I was a boy, only if I was a man.

And family, friends, possessions...forget them all, walahi I would sacrifice all of them for Islam, all of them in addition to myself.
NO JOKES, I crave for such an opportunity, IF, after disguising myself as a man and arguing for hours I was still not permitted, then I would be a shooting star attending every single injured, supplying them with water and medication and cooking them food...I have fire inside of me because I know I am on the right.
but here is the hitch :
How many times did a small believing army overcome a large disbeleiving army? Seriously, I want to help miliatarily, I want to be on the ground, when I see the news, I just wish I was there so I could help. If I was a man, I would have bought a plane ticket and filled a 20kg bag with supplies and left for Palistine TODAY! But Im sister, I can't travel without a mahram.
Allah sw knows his mountains and He thus sends snow accordingly.
(Bolded by me)
There she is spoiling to join the fight against oppression but alas she cannot travel without a mahram. Islam is so unfair to women.
