Yes, if you want the army to be tiny you accept the very best, who are all men. For armies between those sizes you accept the most fit, of whom the majority are men and a minority are women. You heard it yourself, even with our current "need as many bodies as we can" mentality, women are still getting by on their double standard and lowered expectations. But I guess we can all live in a beautiful dream world | ||

If the tests are so rigorous that only 1% of the women that apply make it, then so fucking be it. They aren't advocating something like affirmative action or 50-50 gender ratio. They are saying IF there so happens to be a qualified women, then let her in. If there isn't any qualified women, then don't let any of them in. There is no denying that the MOST qualified women out there for the army is going to perform better than the LEAST qualified man that's in the army. | ||

We're not advocating cutting standards or setting targets for women being in the army. We're saying if they can carry their weight there should be no obstacle. And to the people saying women are genetically disabled, the most qualified woman to be in the infantry will be better than the least qualified man who is in the infantry. The average woman won't cut it but there will be some who will. Basically I'm arguing for manlike freaks not to be held back by their vagina. | ||
