Raped 12 years ago. The political, and social climate nowadays is very different. Combined with mass media and the ability for the enemy to use technology to manipulate the narrative, a woman soldier getting turned into a ISIS bride will go over a lot more poorly than it did when Jessica was grabbed by Baathist in 2003 Iraq.

so you don't want women in combat roles because they could be dragged off the battlefield and raped?

Or is it your contempt for feminism that is propping up your paternalism?

I'm saying it is something we need to take into consideration before we unnecessarily throw poor women onto the front lines of combat for some ridiculous reason.

I support feminism.

I believe we need to shrink the wage gap. Sexual assault on campuses need to be eliminated. Paid maternity leave should be enforced. Society and Government needs to take steps to eliminate sexual harassment. More services need to be provided for sexual and domestic assault victims. And reproductive care should be free and widely available.

Quote me on that.

The overwhelming majority of women who join the military are lower income.

The ones who aren't usually hold BAs and won't find themselves in grunt work close to any battle line.

I think the numbers spoke to themselves in the USMC mixed unit tests.

http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/story/m … /71979146/

Male Marines with no formal infantry training outperformed infantry-trained women on each weapons system, at levels ranging from 11 to 16 percentage points.

So even the cream of the crop infantry women got outperformed by dudes who weren't in infantry.

During simulated casualty evacuations involving a 200-pound dummy, mixed-gender groups were notably slower at the task, except in cases when a single Marine would move the dummy using a fireman's carry. And in those cases, "it was most often a male Marine who 'evacuated' the casualty," according to the findings analysis.

I can see a problem in that.

I mean open up all the gender restrictions you want, if the women can perform the same as men then go for it. There's a reason in the IDF they don't really deploy female units to the front line or even have mixed infantry combat units.

Their menstruation attracts bears and sharks putting their unit at risk.

I know I wouldn't want to be a Navy seal fighting off bears and sharks 1 week out of the month because some dike wants to jiggle her tits firing an m60.

This site is rancid with fucking idiots.

Women get pregnant, women take care of babies, women distract men in field, women are naturally protected by men due to instinct, women have poor upper body strength, women emotionally fall apart easier.....

This all jeopardizes missions, especially men fighting over bitches and putting the ahead of the mission.

Military is a great place for liberal social experiments, if you don't mind getting people killed.
