The Post knows what happened to Larry Summers at Harvard.
The Post promotes the feminist agenda at every turn.
This is not a surprising article.

You cannot be accused of syllogistic reasoning.

[JudgemAll]

The feminist agenda is actualy anorexic & antichild based more than pro women-skills.

Castro pulled this when he boasted of a cow producing record milk amounts while his whole cattle industry is in disarraty, and we pulled the same thing with the first black astronaute, to make the sheeple think there was no government regulation stopping people from entreprizing or defending themselves.

I'm waiting for the Washcompost to praise women conceal carrying 50 caliber handguns throughout the nation, then we'll see real results in freedom, not this bravosierra of once in a while success.

Don't you know that it ranckles all those misogynistic males, desperately trying to protect their hideously perverted sense of "masculine pride" and "honor", to be beaten up by a bunch of girls!

It seems to me that this makes a good case for "gays in the military". We need a few battalions of anthropophobic lesbians to whip the fannies of those sissies.

Honestly, I was a T-45(jet) instructor in Kingsville and I was pissed a few times that because of political correctness I was forced to instruct females that really sucked and should have been kicked out much earlier. There will always be one or two "competent" women out there, but a majority are below par in the military(anyone who does not believe me....I have plenty of stories to share with you). Think about it....if you are a capable woman, why join the military when you can make a killing in the private sector. What kind of a society sends its mothers and daughters to war? Piss poor in my opinion....

Amen.

And ofcourse, the men always have to state how 'well' the women are doing or they are labeled malcontents who are having their masculinity 'threatened'.

[Casekirchen]

Just curious, but now that it is ok for women to be in aerial combat and subject to death, mutilation and rape if they are shot down ...

will they be expected to survive "horrendous" things like Tailhook?

"…Kiowa scout helicopter, a .50-caliber machine gun…at the ready"

I don't think an OH-58D could even hover much less take off and fly with a .50 cal on board.

Good job, Sarah. Cheers for another American hero in Iraq who is "just doing her job".

Saddly the entire culture will have to suffer to give these one or two their "rights".

Females in the Cock.Pit????

Next thing you know men will be doing the Vagina Monologues!

[silverleaf]

death mutiliation and rape are bad things. So is being publicly groped at a convention of your fellow professionals. No equivocation that if women are willing to face combat they should be willing to be the objects of molestation and harassment from anyone, much less other military members.

[silverleaf]

Yes, our culture is reverbrating in pathos because of Sarah Piro's work in Iraq.

[Piquaboy]

It will be called now, "The Vagina Pit".

That's the bottom line isn't it? I agree.
