Dog bites man. Its unfortunate that many need such a reminder.

Not to degenerate the efforts of our female soldiers & sailors, who deserve all of our gratitude & respect.

Yeah back in the good old days men did the yardwork and women the housework. Now men do the yardwork and half of the housework : (

The women (a number of them,at least),OTOH,were weeping and carrying on

I'd be weeping too if they woke me up at 4am and wouldn't let me wear my make-up and acrylic nails. I've heard horror stories about not being able to really get your hair done when your at boot camp.... nuh uh... not me, brother! Cammies don't always flatter every figure either.

THIS is news?

Only if you are an androgynous PC castrato who is ignorant of the most basic fundamentals of human nature. IOW, about 80% of the academic world.

don't laugh so fast the leftist women will use this to show how dangerous men are and how we have to increase "sensitivity training".

What a wasteful study. What they told us is known from having common sense.This has been known throughout all of human history. Why do we need a research study to tell us what has been obvious for the entire history of man on this planet. Its just ridiculous research.

A stunning development, eh?

When my son enlisted- he chose the infantry for many reasons- one of them being there are no women in the infantry.

And in a related story, another study has discovered that women are better suited for child birth.

I disagree. We'd still have just as many wars, they'd just be different in nature. Women can be just as agressive and are sometimes far more vicious.

I'd also point out that if men weren't so good at war, we'd still be swinging from trees wondering why those big cats thought we were good to eat. Or, if you prefer a creationist point of view, after the Fall, the race would have perished, because the only reason humanity is still here is *because* we're better at combat as a species than the other animals. Not on a one-on-one basis; as individuals, our natural weaponry is pathetic, we're unarmored, we're slow, our vision and hearing sucks compared to the animals, and it doesn't take much to incapacitate us. But get three human males together, and give them some time to make spears or weapons out of things lying around in nature, and they can take down any animal on the face of the earth. As individuals, we suck, but in groups there is no meaner predator on earth. And that is why we survived.

Especially every 28 days or so.

Ducking for cover.

There are always going to be individual exceptions, but as a whole....
