In her widely acclaimed book "The War against Boys - How Misguided Feminism is Harming Our Young Men", Christina Hoff Sommers details how there is an orchestrated effort to feminize boys that begins in the earliest grades of our public schools. It's reached such an insanely bizarre point that even biological differences differences are denied or ignored (e.g. the greater upper body strength of males). Affirmative action is harmful enough but when it permeates our military it's a national security danger.

Under Clinton, a Pentagon "risk rule" was repealed.

Yet another thing that Bush did absolutely nothing about. It makes some conservative call this Bill Clinton's 4th term in office.

My husband has very strong opinions on this issue. I won’t use his language about it LOL. But generally, his biggest beef is this:

A WM can feasibly continue getting pregnant on a certain time line and be completely exempt from a PFT, which a male is required to consistenly improve on in order to get promoted. As a woman, I also think this is unfair, because it happens waaaayyyy more than anyone would like to admit. It is completely wrong, IMO, for a woman to be eligible for promotions under different criteria. That is NOT equality.
