The same old song and dance. The New York Times reports on the Marines’ officer training camp which is set to go co-ed later this year. Though gender is the focus of the headline, the piece avoids asking the interesting questions and just glosses over the issue before moving on to describing the training in mundane detail:
This was one sequence in the Combat Endurance Test, the opening exercise in the Marine Corps’ Infantry Officer Course — one of the most redoubtable male-only domains in the American military. And this session of the course could be the last male-only class. Beginning in September, the corps says, female officer volunteers will participate here, part of a study to gauge the feasibility of allowing female Marines to serve in more extensive combat roles.
Col. Todd S. Desgrosseilliers, the commander of the Basic School, which oversees the course, said he had no special concerns as the course prepares to accept women. “Nothing more so with women than with men,” he said.
“We expect them to be fit enough to go through the course when they get here, just like the men are.”
Yeah, that’s a good Marine. Just pretend like a humongous shit storm isn’t brewing off in the distance. Further pretend that this isn’t by design – the acrimony used as leverage to enact change. Of course women are expected to be fit enough to complete the course, but when biology rears its ugly head and only 5% of women (and 80% of men) pass the test, we all know what will happen. The same thing that happened in the piece I linked yesterday which reported on the Department of Justice investigating the Corpus Christi Police Department for disparate outcomes on similar physical fitness tests.

It could end up working out in our favor.
If women become the majority of cops and soldiers, then these corrupt institutions will crumble on their own. Just look at how much of a joke Colleges have become. Ever since women became the majority of college students, the standards were lowered and now most public colleges are struggling (and cutting STEM subjects).
Men should have given up on fighting wars a long time ago. Let the women have a try
No worries, Charles. Experiments such as this one won’t last long.
Just remember to note the names of the multikult commissars responsible for enacting these Marxist policies.
I’m sure when the time is right the Provisional Government of National Restoration (PGNR) will send ‘punishment squads’ to implement justice.

My sentiments agree with this author on strict standards for gender and age.
thanks for the link jz.

“The U.S. Army always screws this up, and it’s unfair — to women. Unequal physical standards for men and for women encourage men — and women themselves — to think of women as lesser soldiers.”
meh, just another idiot who has drunk the kool-aid.

another of my favorite of his essays.
“Unequal physical standards for men and for women encourage men — and women themselves — to think of women as lesser soldiers.”
And what, precisely, is wrong with such thinking?
@Twenty,
what’s wrong with that thinking, is that it is not true.
do you prefer to believe things that are not true?
“And what, precisely, is wrong with such thinking?”
That while it happens to be, you know, true and stuff, it is also Ungoodthink Which Must Be Punished.
Stuff like this will just move more working-class white males to the far right. Hopefully, the jig is up (pun intended) and we’ll see a big change of heart from those working-class white males that voted for Obama in swing and rust belt states like Ohio, WI, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia and NC.
@jz
You’re projecting again.
@Twenty, you don’t know what projecting means
The physical capabilities of individual females is irrelevant to why a co-ed military is a bad idea. If there was really a mass of women capable of being soldiers then give them their own outfits that are fully female and have 0 contact with men, much less letting them cohabitate on carriers, bases and out in the field.
Men aren’t going to be capable of treating women as if they were “equal” regardless of how much of a 200lbs butch cigstache she is, and women aren’t going to be psychologically capable of failing to be women either. The military men will vary between being extraordinarily harsh, or absurd white knighting, while these women will be incapable of respecting men that are their equals or subordinates and display the cruelty and divisiveness that is characteristic of women whenever given power.
The only way to demonstrate that a woman isn’t being a typical woman and would be fit for the role is a total catch-22. Any woman that displays any desire to get into combat units in otherwise exclusively male environments and thinks that male leaders should promote her interests above those of other men lower down the totem pole is completely unfit for the role. She’s latching onto Alphas and getting them to promote her interest over the Betas, and she’ll continue to do it at the unit level.
For anyone with firsthand experience with actual men and women in the military is that a lot of the men are natural followers, which I don’t say to be pejorative. They are the kinds of people that are capable of cooperating to accomplish a goals. They follow ‘orders’ even when they don’t have to and they aren’t orders. Military women, especially the bulldykes in question are ballbusting cunts that can’t get along with anyone, and are incapable of organically falling in line to accomplish goals. They fundamentally don’t understand mannerbund, strain against authority with both stereotypical female status jockeying games and the mimicry of the most negative aspects of male aggression without direction.
@jz
You’re projecting again.
(N.B.: Not a dupe!)
Let the entire police force become female. Men ought to drop out of society and let women handle more and more of the responsibility, especially since police are just state tools for shaking men down to pay for women’s stupidity. Let the entire army became woman only. Men, stop dying for big corporations who make a profit at the expense of your lives.
Go Galt, work less, enjoy free time more, learn game and fuck around more.
Thank you, Kyle, for an excellent summation of the problem. You make the essential point that the physical fitness of a particular woman is not the basic point. Females will alter the unit in which they are placed simply because they are female.
Thanks also for your careful writing and proofreading. It’s a real, but unfortunately rare pleasure to read something which is free of typos and grammatical errors.
