Consider the female Army officer who complained that morning runs were demeaning to women

I found myself agreeing with this article until I came to this line. The author has taken this out of context and provides no source. I am quite sure that the author is refering to cadences which are demeaning to women, not the act of running. I know of no female officer (or other soldier) who has ever publicly complained about the physical aspect of morning runs. I may be wrong though.

Read it and weep for the Marine Corps.

Here's a more comprehensive article from the Washington Times. The complaint had nothing to do with cadences... the run was simply too hard for a female officer who took the issue to some politically correct 1-800-CRY-AND WHINE hotline.
