Eating breakfast and having coffee at a place not far from the house before going to work this morning. The GF over hears two men talking about how they do not believe women should be in combat roles in the military . She got a little perturbed and ask my thoughts which did not fix the hurt feelings , because I said I agree with them. She ask why , and I answered how is a woman supposed to pull a 200 pound man in full combat gear to safety during a fire fight when she weighs weigh 120 pounds and can't carry 50 pounds of weight across a parking lot?

Any way I got to hear the women can do what men do speech again, blah blah blah.  Facts be damned  

Is every woman today mentally diseased ?

No. Every woman is not diseased. Start by not dating a feminist. If she is convinced she's ready, show her where the recruiting office is. No way in heck I'd make it through Ranger school. But if she's convinced she's combat ready, let her sign up. Then eject.

She is feeling rather than reasoning.  Lots of people do it, but women do it more.

No, not every woman is like this.  The ones that aren't are usually in stable relationships, so you're not finding them.

I disagree entirely with the ban, but only believe in lifting it if all standards remain the same. One of the first female petty officers that I worked for was 5'11" and 170lbs of muscle. She had spent the last 6 years working specops support in a time where intel guys often went out with the teams for data collection. She was just as capable if not more capable than many of the men I served with over the years to deploy in a combat role. This is the type of woman that could do this. If we opened to the field to all applicable candidates with zero changes to the physical expectations than I don't suspect many women would be able to do it, but the few that could would be respected and viewed as peers and not some bs affirmative action push.

Show her this


and ask why there are two different standards.  If you want to fight that battle, which I wouldn't.  


My wife an I were eating lunch and there was a WNBA game on TV.  I said something about it now bad they are compared to NBA players and she disagreed.  I pointed out that the 3 point lines and size of the balls were different, and that there are probably good, male 8th graders that could do what the professional women are doing and she got pissed.  

We were talking about college sports and I said that it really doesn't matter what happens to the sports that don't make money, which is practically every collegiate women's athletic team except for UCONN and Tennessee women's basketball.  Typically the school's football team makes the money that is supporting the teams that are in the red, and men's basketball typically breaks even.*  That's just the dollars and cents behind it and she got pissed.  

*There are exceptions; I am sure Duke, North Carolina, and schools like that bring in enough money through men's basketball to support some of their university's teams that are in the red.

Ask her if women are so capable of doing anything men can do, then why can't they raise and lower the toilet seats themselves? They are the ones that benefit from it both up and down but I swear they can't lift or lower the damn thing.




Yes, I've already said that to several women, pissed off every one of them.

Our society has the wrong approach to differences.



Instead of making the best use of differences, exploiting the various strengths, we instead pretend that everyone is the same.



Such a waste.

I was talking to a Bundeswehr engineer while we were doing the German Marksmanship Badge, and that's exactly what he described their ruck movements as, except the women were in the back of a truck while the men shared the extra rucks.

Yup.



Fuck biology!



They can do everything men can....sure.



Let me know when women start playing LB or OL or...well...any position aside from kicker, in football at a level higher than fucking high school successfully.



or they start lining up at point guard in the NBA.



Combat roles are fucking hard and physical. The little I dealt with females while in the infantry, I was not impressed. I distinctly remember having a couple female MPs along to help with females on a mission when we were hitting a housing compound. We got there, I dismounted in full gear/SAW/assault pack...at night...so...nods down...along with rest of fire team. We sprint the 50 or so yards to our positions to pull security. About 30 secs later they both mosey on up, out of breath and huffing and puffing in nothing but armor and an M4. Looked at me all deer in the headlights..."How the fuck do you guys move so fast in all that?"

No. Just a fuckload of them. Blame liberals. Men are stronger than women it is genetics. Men are designed to hunt, kill, build, and protect. Women are designed to have children and take care of them, cook, clean, organize. We both have our strengths and weaknesses. It is just life. It doesn't mean that men are more important than women or that women are more important than men. We just both have our roles.

Oh yeah in before all the women and white knights on here start blasting me for being "sexist".

Yes.

Mine the other night for reference:
Plans: Go to dinner
Phone call on her way home from college: "I want to come home.  Maybe take a shower but definitely change."
Gets home.  "Should I change?" I believe this to be code for, "Should I get ready so we can go to dinner?"  I say, "Yes."  WRONG!  
Turns out: "YOU always tell ME I have to change!  YOU always tell ME I need to dress up!  What about YOU?!?  YOU have been wearing the same thing for a month so why do YOU get to tell ME what to do?  It's BOBBY'S WORLD!"
I just ignore.  She gets in shower.  Comes out.  I'm resting on the couch with my eyes closed and hanging with the dog waiting for her to get ready.
"OH!  YOU are sleeping?  I guess we're not going to dinner tonight!"

Shit storm ensues as she rampages.  Short of it is there's no dinner and she goes by herself to meet my friends.  I stayed home with the dog.

Women need meds.  Plain and simple.

I agree with your statements, if they are as physically capable,  fine, but for me, it's more than that.  Sure I'm "old school" at 45, but it's psychological to me.  The thought of a female soldier getting captured and then raped and tortured is for some reason,  "worse" to me than a male getting captured and tortured. I'm not even sure why except I think women should be protected, and not exposed to that sort of crap.


I could be wrong, but for me, I don't think even if they are physically equal,  that I would want that woman to be exposed to the terrible things of war, or worse, capture.
