The bullshit thread

[FLEKTARN]

Men are typically confrontational aggressive.

Gee, that's certainly not true of you ...

My name is not Gee. Is that your mom's name?

Thanks for proving your own theory.

I have an idea.

How about, right down the back, as far away from any entrance, at the furthest point of the car park.
We put a "MEN ONLY" parking area.

You know, somewhere, where men can park heir cars and not get them scratched by shopping trolleys, bad women drivers, disabled wheelchair bound car scratchers and old farts who scratch cars with their walkers.

Exclusively male, no exceptions.

My bet is that within hours of this being posted, women will converge on the spot demanding that they be allowed to park there.
For equal rights, of course.

You have a point. Nothing makes me shake my head harder than women complaining about not being allowed to serve in combat. Check out this idiocy:

To which I say: "Really? You WANT to serve on the battlefield? Then by all means, gather your sisters together and take your place on the front lines."

I'm sure a great many men -- and teenage boys -- would have gladly given up their space in the boat during the invasion of Normandy.

The point is, 4E, not all women want to serve in combat but some do and they are denied. American attitudes towards women are quite inexplicable. They claim they believe in equality but when faced with actually allowing women to be equal, such as in the military, they only allow it after a lot of court cases and a lot of angst. It was the same for men of colour. The same excuses we saw trotted out against the integration of black and white soldiers are today trotted out against women.

Downunder, we have allowed gays, women to serve equally in all ECN (Employment Classification Numbers) in the defence forces for over a decade (gays much longer). No one really cares. Of course there are some sexist/homophobic hold outs but in reality, it hasn't meant the end of civilisation as we know it. I remember serving back in the 1980s with women and gays. While the gays weren't acknowledged, they were there and often were known to be gays. No one cared. If they kept their mouths shut and got on with the job, it worked. Women were the same - they were barred from many ECNs but as long as they worked and did their job, lines were blurred and they often did what were appropriately male only jobs.

And anyone who suggests that women and gays are incapable of being aggressive or deadly has no knowledge of history but that is typical for most sexist and homophobic bigots.

Serving is a far cry from what is expected on the front lines during combat in a war zone.

My only comment on women in the armed forces is this...

Let them serve if they want to...I dont give a toss if they get shot up...they make their bed..so they can
lie in it.....but for gods sake its all a bit of a joke when they give them a 1 kilo pack to carry for a 1 kilo hump...
when the men carry a heavier pack over a longer hump...they are permitted these minor tasks to appease
the bureaucrats...the same thing applies in the coppers..just walk through that obstacle course luv...and when
you get to the driver training....you can have as many attempts as you like....we'll pass you.....no wonder the male
Police in Qld are leaving in droves...the lowering of standards to appease bureacrats wont be reported by the
media....because they arent told about it..........

Its all bullshit....

I have no problem with women 'serving' but the armed services is not the place to be PC and play identity politics. There are plenty of branches women can adequately serve in but not infantry or hand to hand combat.

Great to see they've released a survey that shows a higher percentage of people commit suicide when theyre awake.....
...rather than when theyre asleep...…
Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it......

Oh, dearie, dearie, me. You really are quite ignorant, aren't you, Black Orchid? I'd recommend you just shut up. It will save a great deal of embarrassment later.

Spoken like a true ignoramus, Black Orchid. There have been numerous conflicts over the last 60 years where women have fought in exactly those roles and proved themselves to be the equal of men.

Have you ever been on the front lines in mortal combat Brian? No I didn't think so!

If a 120 kg team member was severely wounded do you think a woman could carry him on her back for 20 miles? No matter what idiocy you spout the answer is no.

Hitch up your skirt and go back to the monkey bars you rude little twat.

Women and men are NOT equal in many situations.
