I took offense to several comments on the thread.
Do you think women should she be firefighters?
Yeah. pretty much.
Saftey of ship and sucess in her mission; everything else can pretty much be damned.
You, on the other hand, obviously think this social engineering is no big deal, and guys like me who are not happy about it are either prudes or perverts who should just get over themselves.
Submarines are not a game, High Tech Redneck.
If I am missing where you are coming from, say so - but you haven't said so yet.......
That’s not an issue.
The issue is that Subs run alone.
You are it. There aint no back up.

Isn’t safety pretty much overrated on subs?
:o
I never dealt with them, I do not know what they did other than negotiate contracts. I do not know if they were government.
I never said that the women should be on the submarines. I agree there is a lot of physical work on a sub that they may be unable to perform.
I did not like the comments of a few posters.
My statement stands. Hypersensitive, overly emotional and intellectually inferior women have no business being around men in any capacity whatsoever. Perhaps you should shield yourself and not visit Free Republic any more.
You seem to be an expert in coming to wrong conclusions.
If they pass all the physical trials and exams I do not see why not.
I would sure like to find a YouTube copy of that LA fire dept video from the 1990s showing those female fireman try outs, they were incredibly humorous, in a sad way.
oh ! scary, creepy, anything else im forgetting, ooooohhhh, chills.....
They negotiated contracts and such.
On your behalf right?
So your government did provide you protection and look out for your best interest?
Right?
I never dealt with them, I do not know what they did other than negotiate contracts. I do not know if they were government.
So you don't know anything about the government union that represented you? Who's contracts did they negotiate?
That's just it, they don't, it is just like the military, they had to make up a female standard for them to pass.
I don't want to over-react to your statement.
What do you mean - that submarines take safety too seriously; that submarines are not nearly as safe as commonly thought, or that submarines are more safe than is commonly thought - or am I still missing your point?
Building fire......If your on the 9 floor, incapacitated from smoke, who would you want to carry you down 9 flights of stairs, a male firefighter for female?
Can you be truthful here?
I’m just kidding.
I am offended by your being offend OK! Jeez give it a break. Somebody as sensitive as you could not have been a guard of anything. Baby.
When posters come off as misogynist it makes conservatives look bad.
In the past few months AI have seen some posts (wish I had bookmarked them) calling for the repeal of women's voting rights, justifying islamic wife beating, banning women from gun ownership, etc.
We are all conservatives, why name call and bash each other.
I posted that I did not want to misinterpret you, and asked you to explain yourself to me.
You responded with a weak, asinine, condescending statement about serious accidents on submarines.
I invited you to explain your intention to me.
You post a weak personal insult.
Okay. I think that I now know everything I will ever need to know about you. I'll stop asking for clarifications.
