Our culture -- feminism, political correctness, secularism -- has crucified male-ness over the past 40 years.
Ladies, we must remember: everything we have, all the freedoms we enjoy, from being able to go swim laps in the same public pool where men are swimming, to venturing out on one's own to carve a living -- these are all, each and every one, privileges we enjoy because men defend our right to them. If men stopped defending us -- well, look at Islam and Sharia, honor killings, burkas, slavery, and rape, if you want the answer to that one.
It's very animal and very basic. We women can talk all we want, but when it comes down to reality, the law doesn't defend us, but the gentleMEN who are willing to defend our right to equal respect, dignity, and freedom.
Sad and lonely women presume to think they're entitled to participate in men's macho on the same terms. Frankly, when I see all this "don't blame the women for this mess" sentiment, I find myself snarling, "Butt out, ladies. You don't belong side-by-side on the battlefield with Marines. Deal." You damned right I blame it on the women for overstepping the line of respect.
It’s more than just the feminist thing in the military - it used to be you were allowed to make mistakes and expected to learn from them (nimitz ran aground for instance but his career wasn’t killed). Now careers are killed within the first few years for training related exercises or pc issues or not getting along with a dept head/xo or co. It’s a shame because a lot of good people leave based in watching others go through it. It’s one thing to serve - something else when your expected to grovel or bow before the masters (some who are there due to connections only)
