A few years back I saw a documentary on Marine Recruit Training.They followed two platoons...one male and the other female...through various steps of the training.It was claimed at the outset that the men and women were doing the *exact* same things and that both were being held to the same standards.

After one particularly grueling day the interviewers visited the male recruits.It was clear from looking at them and listening to them that they were *very* tired,sore and dispirited.But each one made it clear that he could take it and intended to carry on.

They also visited the women after those very same training exercises.Several of them were weeping like little girls.

The only way women make it into open combat is by lowering standards.

And few women can compete at a male standard of endurance. They get washed out of training.

Feminist dogma simply can’t compete with the fact women can’t do some jobs because they call for strength/endurance/fitness levels that are far above their pay grade.

Denying reality doesn’t change the point that some jobs aren’t open to women for sound reasons that have nothing to do with sex discrimination.

But try explaining the facts of life to the Left.

I remember seeing that and I don't believe the women were held to the same strength requirements (pull ups, sit ups, running, etc.).
Regardless, it was just sickening for me (as a former Marine) to watch the women try to act like men.
