after joining the Navy in 2011, became the first female warfare officer aboard a British nuclear submarine.

What could go wrong?

I'm reminded of a noted female writer's comment (her name escapes me at the moment) on the best-selling Kinsey Report of the late 1940s and 1950s. It was a famous set of tell-all, pseudo-scientific books about American men and women describing their own sexual behavior, put together by Dr. Alfred Kinsey--who himself was later described as a homosexual pervert.

The writer's comment: "The Kinsey Report proved just one thing. Women like to talk."

I first read that expression in John Cleland’s “Fanny Hill, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure”, 1748.

Fanny is engaged in her preferred pursuits against a wall in a park with a sailor, when Jack Tar tries one of the Royal Navy’s traditions and she objects....

“Tell me again why it was a good idea to put women on submarines, or ships for that matter?”

Because, Einsten, there are only 25 million men in the UK, so how are they going to fill the 250 slots for the sub, without accessing the 25 million women?

Hard to tell if you are being serious or not. Some people would say such a thing in all seriousness, and with the advent of so many crazy people, my ability to tell if someone is being serious no longer works.

But if you are serious, I will point out filling the slots wasn't a problem during WWII, and I daresay the numbers called up were much worse then than now.
