Explaining women in combat arms

I don't get your point. Are you saying a man hitting a woman is sexism? I guess so.

Are you saying if a woman hits a man, it's sexism? No, it isn't.

sex·ism
/ˈsekˌsizəm/

Noun
Prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.

Jarod argued earlier that it is sexist to not want to see women die in war but to be ok with men dying in war. Can one argue it is out of respect for women to not want to see them die in war? I agree with you that a man should not hit a woman out of respect (unless your life is in danger or the woman is really trying to kick your ass). Can that reach a point of being sexist in treating a woman different than you would a man in that senario?

I don't want to see anyone die at war. That said, however, women have as much right to fight along their male counterparts as gays and blacks. This is the problem with the right...they want to dictate what women can and cannot do. Why is that? Because women should be submissive to their man.

Bull Hockey! If a woman wants to take up arms and fight for her country, who are you to make the decision she shouldn't? That, my friend, is sexism!

(unless your life is in danger or the woman is really trying to kick your ass)

Perhaps you didn't understand my words. IT IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE FOR A MAN TO HIT A WOMAN.
 
So who determines the line between what is respect and what is sexist?


Reminds me of Sen. Boxer, I think it was, that demanded some male General address her as 'senator' and not Ma'am....lol

EVERY soldier is taught from day one, to address a female officer as Ma'am as a show of respect....pinhead Boxer thought otherwise.
 
No man should ever hit a woman. It's not about sexism, it's about respect.

Ya know, Tom, I've known a lot of Brits in my lifetime. Many are good friends. Never have I seen such a level of obvious misogyny coming from my Brit friends as I see with you. Get help and learn to respect women as equals, willya?

You know Howey, you can be pretty fucking patronising as well as incredibly opinionated. I called you out before on your posting graphic images of men giving BJs to other men. You were given a pass by the powers that be and the women on here, fuck knows why. I am not sure what -ism that trangesses as there are so fucking many these days but it was certainly nasty, tasteless and incredibly disgusting so take your faux anger and shove it up your arse.

I really do not know what your purpose is being here anyway, if it is to drum up custom for your dying board then I can only say that I for one won't be posting over there if the likes of Bijou are typical posters. You can call me all the names that you like, I have been called virtually everything over the years, by left and right, but very few call me stupid and uneducated. As for other Brits, I have heard that one before as well. It was said by a right wing female poster called usloyaltotheend who accused me of being too politically correct, anti-American and not like all her other Brit friends.

Well said, for an otherwise scumbag that calls women 'cu^ts'.....

Unless of course shes trying to kill you.

Save me "the right" bullshit. I'm asking as my own person, not as a member of a political party of political group. To not want to see a woman die in combat has nothing to do with my political beliefs plus I already have stated that if a woman wants to go to the front lines and can pass the physical test then I support. Hey, I'll be the first to celebrate during the next war when more woman have been killed than men in combat. That will be true equality.

So if a woman attacked and robbed you and was doing serious physical harm to you you would just sit there and take it, risking death, out of respect? I would love to see that on YouTube.

If a woman attacks you, you have every right to defend yourself. I am just wondering if the "stand your ground" law only applies to men, maybe Howey can tell us as he lives in Florida??

I initially had respect for Howey but he has now revealed his true colours.
 
Howey was in the military for many years also, and his opinions carry some weight with me.

I've read SR's comments on this and other threads over the past few years. Here he's providing a Catch-22 couched in oh-so-reasonable language but I don't buy it wholesale because of the source. SR wrote the following a few years ago. I thought he was being sarcastic but apparently not. He characterized his fellow soldiers as nothing more than camp followers. Do you guys understand how piggish this sounds to women?

"I know that during my tour we had very attractive female Marines that went on patrols with us, slept naked with us out in the field during offensive operations and performed sexual favors for all of us to keep us in a good mood... helped ferry ammunition to us during firefights, cooked our meals, carried out our wounded, sometimes they would sun tan topless and invite us to hold "who has the best tits" contests.

Just imagine the parties we'll have in combat now that the homosexuals problem of coming out of the closet has been solved!!!"

Im so relieved.

No...my comments were not piggish. My comments were in the defense of both male and female Marines as another poster had insinuated that heterosexual members of the military ALWAYS flaunted sexual behavior between each other and he was advocating that homosexual members SHOULD BE ABLE TO BEHAVE THE SAME WAY.. my full response was:

"This will have no affect on the majority of the military. It will be neither beneficial nor harmful to the majority of the military. It in no way will HELP the military one way or the other.

But for a few units, units that actually depend on discipline, cohesion, and trust, this issue will create problems. Forced problems for no other reason than what Socrates so eloquently described, so that 2 soldiers of the same sexual orientation can date each other, fondle each other, and have sex with each other without fear of repercussion.

Such an important priority FOR US ALL!!

It was clearly a response mocking the idea that female and male soldiers interact in such blatantly sexual ways as some sort of justification for the repeal of DADT.

you are, without a doubt, misogynistic and no doubt darla will give you a pass

Why would ever have respect for a scumbag that said this....and is proud of it.

I hope you mean that by "response mocking" that the above never happened. But you still don't get it. You still used the idea that the women on patrol were nothing but sluts, and the men were the willing receivers of their largesse. I bet if this scenario was changed (below) you wouldn't think it was mocking.

"Jane: I know that during my tour we had very handsome male Marines that went on patrols with us, slept naked with us out in the field during offensive operations and performed sexual favors for all of us to keep us in a good mood... helped ferry ammunition to us during firefights, cooked our meals, carried out our wounded, sometimes they would suntan nude and invite us to hold "who has the biggest willy" contests."

EVERY soldier is taught from day one, to address a female officer as Ma'am as a show of respect....pinhead Boxer thought otherwise.

What's the rest of the story, that the male general said "Senator Blunt" or "Senator Coburn" but switched to ma'am with Boxer?
