There are no longer jobs that are inherently closed to someone based on their sex.


oh the old "I am woman hear me roar" argument.

Let me ask you, which makes a better kindergarten/early elementary teacher, a man or a woman? And careful there are actual studies out there.

The answer is women. Women are better teachers of early age children than men, and thus it is better of the CHILDREN to hire women and so I don't really care if a man wants the job , I'm concerned with what's best for the children.

Same principle here, what's best for the military , women in JSOC, or not? Studies prove the answer is not. So that should be the end of the discussion.

And in fact, by wanting to be in a position that they know it is not in the best interest of the military for them to be in, these women are PROVING that they don't belong right off the bat, because they are putting themselves before team , which is the number one no no is the military in general and special operations specifically.

Did you make an argument yet or just avoid the real topic and call people names for the last 5 pages?


Her arguments can be summed up thusly.

1. It's going to happen, so there.

2. Your argument pointing out the SUBSTANTIALLY lower likelihood of even selected females to pass doesn't matter because you don't really care about that.

3. Emotion - "reasons".

There's no sound logical argument for having women take up slots for such schools. The argument for having them do so would be just as appropriate if applied to substandard men. "We should let them because don't they deserve to try!!!"

No. The old, "it's 2017" argument.

Depends on the man and the woman.

This argument falls on its face right there.

You guys sure are loose with how you use the word "prove."

Those studies don't prove anything really, at least not on this particular topic.

Go back to the Marine Corps study.

The Argonaut approach.

Just declare shite false with no rebuttal cause, well, she's a girl and she doesn't need a reason.

The irony in all of this is the fact your disposition in this thread serves as evidence as to why women have no business in the Navy SEALS.

You're too emotional.

It doesn't matter because selection isn't about rates and statistics. You should know that, expert on "selection" that you are.

The Air Force comm guy has been the most emotional poster in this thread. I'm not even top 25 in here.

The standards to get in to these schools exist for a reason. If they meet those, there's no sound or logical reason to keep them out.

Substandard men are already filtered out, and it isn't based on their sex. Apply the same standard. Easy day.

The closest anyone has provided me to data has been a four-page summary of the Marine Corps study.

So, there's that.

That's the exact argument used to end gender segregation in sports. And I'm all for it.

Yall want equality? You can have it. Say goodbye to a of your sports.

Oh. That's right. I forgot.

You're still pretending that the difference between women and men in physical performance is an unknown.

Would be cool if they applied the same standard on regular PT tests and promotions. Then we'd never have to worry about women making it past E-2.

The Air Force kid has been the most emotional one in the thread. He made it through "selection." Seems emotion has little to do with success in that regard.

Although he was injured in training later on. Maybe you do have a point here...

I'm fine with that. Women's sports are generally boring to watch and are only kept afloat by revenue from men's sports.

You're still pretending that selection is about bulk intake.

You're the expert, though.

I love people like that.

I bet they'd love to watch Mike Tyson in his prime box a woman.

Or Anderson Silva beat the shite out of Rhonda Rousey.

Or LeBron James play one game in the WNBA

It's like you don't even read.

It's a MINIMUM standard. The "sound or logical reason" is that if someone else ALSO meets the minimum standard and actually performed BETTER than you, they should get in ahead of you. Ya know. Logic.

quote:

A LOT of men meet the minimum standards and aren't selected. And, they all would have a higher likelihood of success than any of the females that went in ahead of them.

In this case, I used the term "substandard" because they weren't as good as the men SELECTED.

You do know what that a "minimum standard" doesn't mean you HAVE to take people that ONLY meet the minimum...........right?
