After I retired a second time I decided to become a manager of a small uniform/tactical store about a mile from my house. We live a hand grenade's throw from the training side of Quantico Marine Corps Base. The store did everything from alterations of their uniforms, making and sewing on their name tapes, to selling gear and helpful things that allowed the new Second Lieutenants to make it through the six months of The Basic School (TBS).
One of the classes had a tiny little girl, about 5'0" and I found out she weighed less than 100lbs. She was one of those posturing, pretend tough-male, lesbians and brought her "wife" with her. By the way, her "wife" was a real cutie.
During Range Week her class decided to march out to the ranges and stay the week rather than return to the barracks every night. The Company Cadre decided to let them and made a list of everything they had to pack out for the week. They were notified by some of their TBS students the pack was about 125lbs. They marched out with that load. The little girl couldn't carry the load that weighed nearly 30lbs more than herself.
Two weeks later a couple of the male TBS students were in the store and told me she had to drop out because she couldn't take the physical strain. They were pretty happy and alluded to that girl being a nasty pain in the butt, always flaunting her feminism and lesbianism. She was using her "status" to maintain a hair trigger on complaining about discrimination due to her being a girl and her mental illness as a lesbian.
And lots of good men will die protecting and compensating for these women.
They have been told all their lives that they can do / be anything they want to. They have been lied to. I won’t go into it all but safe to say I would be torn to be the father of girls that were smart and able. Asked by one young lady what I thought about choice between career and being a stay at home mother. I said, “Just about anyone with a brain can be a successful chemical engineer and do it anytime in their life. You can only be a mother one period in your life and create an outstanding human that may even save the world.” She gave up her career, raised two wonderful children and has a very very happy life of no regrets. So she tells me. I don’t feel bad at all about what I told her.
