The ONLY way a female will be a Navy SEAL is if they lower the standards to almost nothing and then let her slide through. Sorry, but that’s just the way it is.
I thought Demi Moore was the first ——— So soon we forget!

“Women have ruined more men than wars and pestilence.” - Author Unknown
Now it seems that the quote has to be altered:
“Women have ruined more men than wars, pestilence and a nation.”
I couldn't have said it better. I had an argument last week with one of my adult daughters. All because I told my granddaughter to be selective in what she pursues and does when she grows up. My daughter argued that her child can be whatever she wants to be. I said that is being unrealistic, and the facts say otherwise. That she's cruising for a bruising if she doesn't know her limitations. I backed away from the argument, saying facts are facts and females can be illogical (that didn't go over well).
Anyway, I've had similar conversations with women in the past, for instance thinking they could defend themselves in a one-on-one fight against a male attacker, despite the woman being 5 foot and 100 pounds (without any martial arts training) going up against a 6 foot and 250 pounds male. Logic dictates otherwise, unless the female has been specially trained. These were female friends who were mild mannered without any fighting skills at all. Women have been brainwashed, and movies reinforce that delusion. I know for a fact that women don't have comparable upper body strength equivalent to that of a man, mostly based on moving furniture and equipment. Maybe I sound chauvinistic, but I just don't want to see women get hurt unnecessarily.
Can we also add to the discussion how Blacks cannot be racist... maybe this falls into the same PC-science.
Speaking of the Tour de France, Do you remember who the first winner was ?
I have no problem with women becoming SEALS if they pass the same standards as men. If a woman passes that, same level, she gets my respect — just as male SEALS do
What a give away! All the male animals in the wild will be following the seals who are “in season”. My cat let’s me know by his affection several days prior.
This piece misses the point. Almost every example he uses of a “men’s” event is in fact open. Any woman good enough can compete, even if anatomy makes it highly unlikely.
This is — in theory — what the military is doing now. In practice it may be lowering standards or creating double standards with dire result, but we don’t oppose that by citing examples of discrimination which don’t apply as such.
This all goes away as soon as enough females in body bags get piled up high enough.

“Professional sports have a profit motive and bring in a fortune every year. Do you really think the owners of the Dallas Cowboys are going to start a woman as QB just so they can show how sensitive, progressive and PC they are?”
Yes, actually. Several top female players have tried out for various NBA teams over the years. None of them made the cut. I suspect if any of them were credible one of the bottom-dwelling teams would have given it a shot in an effort to put fans in the stands — even if only for a few weeks.
Women will be allowed to apply and compete for the assignment. Only if they qualify will they be "allowed in". As long as the requirements are not changed, no problem. If there is a Supergirl out there who can meet the standard and wants to serve, God Bless her!
