They should use handicapped bathrooms, because obviously they are mentally handicapped.
The deadly dosing of Political Correctness has long since passed the LD50 for America. I fear it is too late to turn around the decline so carefully plotted by the feminists and ushered along by the liberal societal engineering courts. Any DNC voting constituency must be fed the usual bilge spittle.
LOL! Of course, the judges have some blame in this as well. They don't want the perp to look like a perp in front of the jury. Shackles and lots of court room officiers makes the perp look bad, and we can't have that.
No disrespect, but get back to me in ten years and let me know if you feel differently about things then than you do now....
Then where is the burden of proof? If a company has mostly male engineers, does the company have to prove that men make better engineers, or do the plaintiffs in a discrimination suit have to prove that men and women have equal ability and therefore the company discriminates.
It is an important question because engineering is just as much a life and death occupation as being a guard at courthouse.
I am a Marine military policeman (Reserve). Our MOS is the only one where women will be sent into combat. It is true that women are weaker than men, but the most important factor is controlled aggression. Often times a man might think, since he is almost always bigger, that a women is a pushover. However, if the women policeman is aggressive (ie yells, threatens in a sure manner, displays ability to exert force through mannerisms), the man will submit. Also note that civilian police in dangerous areas are usually in pairs, so the strength of the male officer and the more tacit nature of the female officer compliment each other well.
Also, I remember my Senior Drill Instructor telling us then-recruits a story about how he dated a woman Marine Military Policeman. He said she thought she was so tough, as is the reputation for Marine MPs. So, despite being a woman she thought her self bad a$$ as well. That story ended on a funny note, however...
Your profile says you love the military. If you really want to go into law enforcement and surmount the stereotype that women and weaker, less active, less aggressive, then join the Marine Corps military police occupational field. You will be exptected to do pretty much the same as guys, and if you can equal them in all standards, you will be one of the fewer, the prouder--a woman Marine.
Can you name anyone who would be worthy?
I absolutely agree with this. We should not searching passengers for weapons and we should not be prohibiting people from carrying them. If citizens were allowed to carry weapons on planes, the 9/11 attacks would not have occurred.
Hey Tyne Daly did the right thing in the Dirty Harry flick - she soaked up about 30 bullets.
Too bad she came back to haunt television.
Like a stake in the heart of a Vampire.

A single bullet can down an aircraft. There are some deranged people our there, who care little for their own lives. There is also misfires...
That's the problem for Ann and for Laura Ingraham. Women marry up. That's a tough bill to fill for these two.
I agree with that, too, but I have yet to here of grandmothers getting full cavity searches at airports. Did I miss a thread here?

But seriously, that scene is like something from an old Blake Edwards comedy.
"These aren't unascertainable facts, like Pinch Sulzberger's SAT scores."
Guess Ann wouldn't be doing any work for the NY Times anyway, so no personal risk here. LOL.
I made some of the same comments yesterday, and some people I work with looked at me like I was a space alien, or something. Incredible.......... and Duh!
Good article from the supposed "Michael Moore of the right." I'm looking forward to the next time Moore, or anyone on the left that I've seen, puts out anything half as reasonable as this.
Each of them was at least 6' tall, and at least 200, built like a tank. I was swooning.....
If a woman can't perform to male standards, then she has no business being out there.
Yes, and it has happened when a man shot out the cockpit windshield (he got past security because he was a commercial pilot). But that was because no one else on the plane was armed.
Only a deliberate attempt to down the plane would be a risk. You can shoot a hole in the fuselage or even a passenger window with little effect. The explosive decompression scenario in "Goldfinger" is a movie myth.
For years people were allowed to carry guns on planes and there were very seldom incidents. But after they were banned we had many more hijackings and then Sept 11 which resulted in huge damage to the economy, the airline industry, and the overthrow of two countries.
I think we it would be better off to deal with the occasional armed nut by armed passengers.
