I wonder why it is that so many of you zoomies buy into Satanic feminism hook, line, and sinker.
“but being a woman is not one of the criteria that should keep people from becoming jet pilots.”
It is the number-one criterion that should disqualify a person from any combat role.
“She flew combat missions in Iraq & Afghanistan, too. She deserves respect for that.”
She deserves fury and contempt. But then, I suppose you think the men who were forced to fly with her thought she was competent.
Everything she got was through special allowances. A man who performed at her level would have been washed out so fast his ass wouldn’t have caught up with him for a month.
The powers that be were determined that she would succeed, no matter what, and military men were ordered to do whatever they had to do to make that happen.
As with every one of these leftwad social experiments, if treated equally, women can’t hack it.
“That woman is trying to scam me!”
YOU GOT IT!
EVERY “government dollar” came from a taxpayer. You, me, or one or more of our neighbors, friends, family.
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”
I think that means that you’re supposed to be at least a bit respectful of women.
In all the history of the world, there has never been a time where women were truly exempted from combat. There has also never been a time when all men were truly capable of combat.
In a country where every adult has the right and privilege to vote, they also have the duty to fight when called on. There are two jobs in the world that are truly sex-dependent. Only men can actually father a child, and only women can actually bear them. Everything else is just work, and either man or woman can do them. That includes fighting.
I was an aircraft mechanic my first couple of years in the USAF. As was my now ex-wife. We were about a year late to be among the first such couples in the USAF. Because she was a woman, there were tasks that she had to complete as part of her training that were required to be in the career field. One was attaching a large bronze refueling nozzle on the aircraft. With 4” hose full of JP-4 jet fuel. She was 5’9” & about 170 lbs. Had a little trouble with because most women don’t have the upper body strength that most men have, but she was able to do it. There was a guy that we worked with who simply could not do it. Not tall enough, not strong enough. He should not have been in the field because he could not do the job. It was unfair to her that she was required to do it and he was not. It was unfair to the rest of of us, because we had to do work he should have been doing.
Most combat units have physical standards for their people. Fighter pilots also have physical standards. She passed those standards, or she wouldn’t have been flying. I’m all for standards, and applying them to everyone who wants to be in a particular field. Several of the schools for military positions have 70% fail rates designed into the school. Navy Nucs, SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers, Forward Air controllers, and so on. Infantry not so much. But they do have standards, and anyone in the field must be able to meet them. If the person who can meet those standards is female, and she wants the job, she should be able to do it, despite idiots like you. Satanic feminism? I call it simple fairness. Fury and contempt? People like you aren’t worth fury. I’ve met too many people who were damn good at their jobs who also happened to be female. My ex wasn’t one of those. She should have been dumped from the field her first week there. Did fine issuing tools to those of us who did fix aircraft, though. Eventually, she retrained into a field where she did well, but she sure wasn’t a good aircraft mechanic.
Not everyone is a good fighter. Not everyone who is is male, either. But rave on. You and the Taliban would probably get along just fine.
25 years as a zoomie, and you still don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground.
Maybe not, but I can recognize an asshole without ever actually seeing him. You certainly qualify. There is a whole lot you could have said about McSally that she rightfully deserves, and quite a bit of it bad. But no, you couldn’t find anything but a stupid rant. Have a nice day. Elsewhere.
And when thou goest home tonight, may thy mother run out from under the porch and bite thee!
She’s PROPOSING it because she KNOWS it WILL NOT PASS!
Rant, eh? Let’s see, I posted 204 words of rational argument, and you posted 741 words of temper tantrum.
Rave on, Napoleon.
Your idea of rational argument involves accusations of satanism and massive sexism. I see how you are.
“I see how you are.”
Apparently not, as I made no accusations of “satanism” or “sexism.”
“I wonder why it is that so many of you zoomies buy into Satanic feminism hook, line, and sinker.:
Stupid idea
Just look up the definitions of Satanic and feminism.
Or don’t, it’s probably a futile effort.
