Women in Combat Arms/ SOF Discussion

Equal rights and diversity are not the same thing.

Nope.

 

[Kraut783]

There you go...."2) I DONT WANT EQUAL RIGHTS LIKE THIS" all in, or STFU

Yes, because a random person twitter is indicative of a whole movement. I really like to imagine most people on this forum are above such low quality bait.

lol yeah, it only has 4 likes. It may not even be a real account.

It was funny though....even it not real

The account looks to be real. The girl who posted it has also is just that, a girl. Based on the photos and commentary, I think she just turned 21. She could be younger based on pictures and subtext. I could be wrong though, kind of suck at navigating twitter.

Edit: While her response seems silly to me, it got some gears turning. Would the new draft affect women from lower socioeconomic backgrounds more than men?

Why would it?

 

[R.Caerbannog]

Why would it?

Based on my limited understanding. I keep hearing for the most part that females generate less income than males. I also hear that many of the people that dodged the draft, used college or personal wealth to evade it. That they minimized their chances of being a enlisted/entry level personnel because of their backgrounds. Which makes me wonder, if the lower earning middle and lower class women are going to have a higher rate of compliance. Presumably, since they don't generate the same amount of wealth as males. I wonder if they will have access to the same tactics.

That being said. I'm also wondering how pregnancy, existing children, and the birthing age will affect the new draft. To expand. In some cultures here, it's normal for women to bear children early (18-25). While in other groups, women wait until their late 20's or thirties to have children. Usually after they have finished schooling and have a stable career. Which makes me wonder, if the birth rate will change and coincide with women giving birth earlier because of the draft.

This has made the rounds a few times. I am still most amazed at the reaction of the Marine w/the sunglasses. He appears PISSED about what just happened.

His privilege was showing.

What is the point of reinforcing the notion in training that closing the distance and forcing an enemy combatant to the ground (whom you can't shoot for whatever reason) before killing him isn't an option?

This is allowed to happen only if the asshole who is likewise trying to kill you is a male and over a certain physical size, I suppose.

So I wonder if he actually got his testicles removed.

I would think that's a pretty important consideration.

I'd say pre-op.. but I am pretty CIS-gendered and don't know the intricacies of these things. Is an operation to actually become as close to the physical gender as possible an ultimate goal? Who knows.. Did Diane Schroer transition?

Yeah... I'd call a "pre-operative transgender" a cross-dresser. But I'm not a cool kid, what do I know?

Like I said, I'm no expert, but I believe I heard something like the cross-dressing community being somewhat on the outs with the rest of the contemporary gender-fluid crowd. @pardus or @Freefalling probably can speak more to this. :-"
