| 0 | Female Marines Fail Infantry Officer CourseUm, what? Just because some guy beat a pro woman player at tennis does not mean that every single woman in the entire country will without a doubt be unable to perform at a level that is required for combat. I could counter your argument with the time when Kerri Walsh and Misty Mae-Treanor (professional volleyball players) beat two guys (one a professional volleyball player, the other a professional athlete in a different sport) in a volleyball match. But it doesn't mean anything. Neither your e… | /r/MensRights | 04/04/13 10:12 PM |
| 0 | Female Marines Fail Infantry Officer CourseNo male will ever be able to give birth. However, it's entirely possible that a female would be able to perform at the required level. Comparing a man's ability to have babies (impossible) to a woman's ability to perform at a high level (possible) is a terrible comparison to prove your point. Your article says the average woman doesn't have the upper body strength as the average man. That is correct. But I don't think the average woman would be attempting to perform at a level that would be requ… | /r/MensRights | 04/04/13 06:41 AM |
| -1 | Female Marines Fail Infantry Officer Courseit's not like a male can train to give birth so why is it so hard to understand that females may not be train to carry over 100lbs for miles and still have enough endurance to carry out a missing in hellish conditions. This is literally the dumbest thing I have ever read. If you'd like to edit your comment to actually make sense, then we can continue this conversation. | /r/MensRights | 04/04/13 05:43 AM |
| 1 | Small rant about working conditionsI don't think that women should get preferential treatment simply because they're a women, and from what you said it sounds like it's a pretty unfair working situation, but I do have to point out one thing that might be a reasonable explanation: As far as undesirable jobs, going in the field (into manholes gross!) and doing night studies (in the rain, middle of the night) I don't exactly know what you do in the manholes, but is there a physical fitness aspect to it? Would she be physically capab… | /r/MensRights | 04/04/13 04:49 AM |
| 1 | Female Marines Fail Infantry Officer Coursethe government is going to research on what they can do about it. To me, I took that as maybe they will increase the toughness of boot camp so the women are better prepared to take on a task such as combat training. I don't think it relates to lowering the standards. | /r/MensRights | 04/04/13 04:39 AM |
| 1 | Female Marines Fail Infantry Officer CourseI'm a bit confused by your comment. At first I read this: A matter that says most men cannot endure this training and at this point all women. I think that's a bit of an exaggeration to say "all women" because four women total have failed. If you were referring to this one scenario discussed in the article, then yes I would agree that all of the two women that attempted it failed, but it sounds like you're speaking about women in general, since you were speaking about men in general, stating tha… | /r/MensRights | 04/04/13 04:37 AM |
| 0 | Female Marines Fail Infantry Officer CourseMeet the standards of every other soldier, or find another non combat role. From what I've read about women in combat zones, they have to pass the exact same requirements as the men. If they don't pass, they don't join. This article is clearly saying that the two women that attempted it failed, along with 12 men. Therefore, none of the 14 people that failed will move on. I agree that a large portion of women who would like to be in the combat zone will not have the physical abilities to do so, b… | /r/MensRights | 04/04/13 04:28 AM |
