Islam is an oppressive and dogmatic religion, but it's still a belief set that anyone should be free to follow. Not really what this discussion is about, though.

All it would do is force bad soldiers to get their heads out of their asses and accept women as their equals. If they can't do that, and insist on pushing condescending "protection" on them because, god forbid, they don't have a dick, that means they're not professional or level headed enough to be a soldier.

Your rights are protected by the government in exchange for taxes and adherence to the law of the land. If you breach this societal contract you should expect to be subject to the loss of certain governmental recognized rights.Not how it works. Everyone is born with uninalienable rights, whether or not the government chooses to recognize them. No matter what you do, they can't be taken away.

And we can improve unit cohesion while still disdaining discrimination by psychologically screening out the type of men I just described. Being a sexist who thinks women need a big male protector makes you the worst, not the best.Well at least you agree the best of the best is in the military :^)You're retarded. Look at all the shitty mothers out there. Look at all the men who couldn't give two shits about "protecting" women.

Not everyone is some macho man obsessed with protecting women. If you are, you don't see them as equals. That's not biology, it's bigotry. And we can improve unit cohesion while still disdaining discrimination by psychologically screening out the type of men I just described.Yes, it is. When two values conflict with each other,How do they? The military is there to protect our sacred way of life. You're right Class, fuck national security and stupid things like people's fucking lives. What REALLY matters is PR. Dosent matter if we are sending unprepared people to die in vein as long as we can flaunt some equality statistic that wont save anyone's life.PR?! What the fuck? This is about morality, not some PR stunt. No one said a thing about being unprepared; we can still train soldiers - male and female - to the fullest extent. And yeah, if we don't have the ABSOLUTE BEST MILITARY EVER, then that means our national security just falls apart. Get over your obsession with having a big army, ours could be half the size and we would still be fine. 10724

Your whole argument boils down to "right now, the men we're picking to be soliders are too childish and brutish to see women as equals who don't need protecting, so we need to have institutionalized discrimination to protect them."

Serious / Re: Inequality« on: June 07, 2016, 03:43:18 PM »Some example you keep bringing up isn't a concrete rule. There are things we can do to increase unit cohesion while still absolutely disdaining discrimination. Psychological screening is a necessity with new soldiers, and that screening should include if you're the type of gorilla to get all white knight if you see a female soldier in trouble.Just take a look at the Israeli army, which arguably has some very well trained soldiers.A male will want to do what a male does with a female. A female in a team on the ground messes with unit cohesion and focus. A male will seek to protect a female even if it fucks the whole team over. These are basic primitive urges we cannot yet overcome. It has absolutely nothing to do with sexism.This is fucking ridiculous. Only the most apish men lose their minds and everything they stand for when they see a woman. You don't speak for everyone. If you're going to put a woman, or biological urges (which, yes, you can easily overcome) over the mission, then you're a bad soldier. Promoting discrimination because of the mindset of bad soldiers is a crime. The faults of men shouldn't be the basis for punishing women. 10728

The soldiers who this would actually affect on the field are those who shouldn't be soldiers in the first place. If you can't be professional, levelheaded, and not lose your mind when you see someone of the opposite sex, you're not sane enough to responsibly pick up a gun and shoot people.It sure is easy to condemn soldiers to death from the safety of your home on the Internet.Yeah I'm not going to talk about this with you.

I'm talking about women who train for years to get strong, who can do everything a male recuit could do, and who are still disallowed from joining what they're passionate about because they don't have a penis. And how can our honorable soldiers concentrate on the job when there's boobs around them? The horror. And these are the guys who are supposed to be skilled and professional.I'm talking about how the actual physical standards were being lowered so that more women can join. There was an article posted here a while back about that occurring. If a woman could meet the military's old standards, I'd have no problem with them serving a combat role, but lowering the bar so that more people can get in should not be done.No, we don't want "maximum effectiveness". We want the maximum effectiveness while still being a moral and decent society. Disbarring competent women from entering the military because some male soldiers would be unprofessional and value their lives more than the mission isn't a criticism against women joining, it's a criticism against those unprofessional soldiers.Way to miss my point. You want maximum effectiveness in the military. I'm just saying you being willing to sacrifice it's effectiveness because "muh rights" just means you let there always be a chance for the enemy to win. I don't have a problem with women serving combat roles, I do have a problem with how they lowered the standards along with it."Letting women into combat roles will make our bloated and gigantic military useless"And then our shitty military loses and we're under the control of an enemy who cares even less about "basic human rights."Far, far more important.
