women were a mistake
Quote from: Joyce Byers on August 16, 2016, 02:33:24 PMThis is why all of your fears of a doomsday situation if women are allowed to serve in combat roles is ridiculous. A very small fraction of women would even pass the requirements to join.But those who do pass have every right to fight on the battlefield.Nope

There's more requirements to serving in the military than accuracy. But if a woman is able to meet every one of those requirements to the extent that a man is, it's a miscarriage of human rights to deny her enlistment. End of story.

End of story.Military service--especially in the infantry--isn't a right, though. Effectively no women would be able to be competitive against men's standards, and their standards are already drastically lower (e.g., a male that couldn't do 3 pullups would be laughed out the door). And then, assuming there are women that are physically comparable to men, that incredibly low number would lead to disproportionately high costs for separate berthing.
You have a right to not be discriminated against.
Quote from: Joyce Byers on August 16, 2016, 04:06:52 PMYou have a right to not be discriminated against.No, you don't. You have a right not to be discriminated against based on sex, religion, ethnicity, etc., but every employer discriminates: a marketing firm discriminates against applicants that have no sales experience, and the infantry discriminates against all candidates that can't meet physical and mental standards. As a result, women are currently barred from the infantry because it's been shown time and time again that there are exceedingly few who can even pass to women's standards let alone men's, and the logistical ramifications of catering to a minuscule minority outweigh the benefit of including them, not even mentioning the psychological impact of having women in the field.
I thought you were supposed to be some champion of logic. If even ONE woman is able to meet the requirements of being in a combat role, the entire institution should bend to cater her.

The Marine Corps has already accepted two enlisted Marines into infantry roles; no woman has ever passed IOC. There are already female Army officers and enlisted personnel in infantry.

No requirements should be lowered for women - they should have to pass everything that a man has to. But if they do, and then are still denied enlistment, that's straight-up discrimination.

But those (women) who do pass have every right to fight on the battlefield.
