Here’s what I don’t get. Hopefully someone can explain.

We’re supposed to see this as a step forward for “civil rights” for women. Okay, perhaps it is a step since up till now, women have not been on submarines.

But, how is this a step forward in an area of “civil rights” if females are going to be segregated?

When the armed forces became fully integrated, blacks and whites were serving together in the same units. Ditto, with the end of “Don’t Ask / Don’t Tell”, openly gay service members are in the same units. They are not being segregated into a homosexual unit.

My question, and a serious question it is, is why is it okay to have gender segregation such as this all girl submarine?????

This is a “Sharia-compliant” mission, can you not see that?

As directed by the first Muslim commander-in-chief?

(I would turn off the sarcasm, but how much of it -is- sarcasm?)
