What a world we live in....
Why does the VA director have the right to hire a non-competitive appt anyway. The person hired doesn’t even have to take a typing test and starts at 40K.
Yeah, we still enjoy free speech in this country. Unless of course it goes against the progressive viewpoint.
Reality be damned. PC utopia, full speed ahead!
First we had the coined expression “Going Postal,” and now will we have a new expression called “Going Hormonal?”
Or maybe women should not be in Combat, PERIOD!
How about ‘Going Menstrual’.
” - - - How about ‘Going Menstrual’. - - - “
Not a chance. The phrase includes the dreaded word “Men” AND it is capitalized, both of which are clear violations of any respectable PC Word Police Manual.
However, both men and Women have hormones, so the phrase “Going Hormonal” is sexist neutral.
The implied, (and therefore insidious), sexist PC violation is that Women have a more noticeable reaction to periodic hormone changes than mere men.
In the coming BRAVE NEW WORLD ORDER of Zombie Fairness, perhaps those select few in Obamanation will be able to dictate what we should say and do to the good that is never perfect, but at least not wasted in the daily crisis management of Obamanation Counterculture.
“However, both men and Women have hormones, so the phrase “Going Hormonal” is sexist neutral.”
I don’t know about that. I know some men who would have greatly benefited from some Midol.
I told my husband the same thing regarding women priests in the Catholic Church...’do you really want someone with PMS or 9 months pregnant and completely imbalanced hormonally up there giving a homily on Sunday?’ LOL
It’s not just PMS and hormones. There are certain realities of menstruation that would cause a number of problems in combat situations.
“Off with their heads”. That is a quote from the Queen of Hearts in the movie “Alice in Wonderland”. The Queen of Hearts loved to shout “Off with their heads.” for any old reason. I wish someone could find a picture of the Queen of Hearts and use it as the poster girl for all irrational, demanding liberals.
A good hidden camera during basic training would cure a lot of people of their super woman illusions. Youtube where are you?
By the way, if they are so set on women in combat, why don’t they demand that women play on the NFL as well?
