for something like soldiery you have to have 1 uniform standard for all your soldiers, because in a feminist world it should not be about the gender, but the ability. Which is hilariously backwards compared to how modern feminism operates against meritocracy.

this takes me bak to wrestling in highschool

well the fringe movement

holding women to a higher standard in a physical role is the flipside of holding men to a higher standard in an emotional role

honestly only first and second wave of femninism are needed

why must there be one uniform standard for soldiers though?

Just playing devil's advocate here

the rest can kiss ass

dude cuz

one team

u need to know who is enemy

feminism is regressive in western society and it sits in a cushy position of authority so it has no reason to attack actual oppressive practices in non-western countries

they wont

it takes to much energy

and plus they actually know jack sh1t about the injustices in there

they may talk about intersectionality but

they wont get any experience in it

well, if you think of how soldiers are trained and deployed, they are supposed to be a unit. If your unit is 4 men of equal physical status and you are up against 4 people or random physical status, the unit of 4 proven physical equals should be the superior unit.

jobs that are lethal should be held to the highest reasonable standard to ensure the ability of those who want to do it

im more optimistic

should be, but not necessarily is so

yay independence day!

but on initial analysis i agree

uniformity in military is always preferable for different reasons, morale, use, ability, etc

ya

with the anime

ew

galm is red now

Here's another analogy that comes to mind: In Afghanistan, the best trained, most well-equipped military in the world (the US) went up against a band of illiterate goat-herders with old AK-47s from the Soviet Union. Certainly not equals in many respects, yet the Afghanis fared extremely well, not because of their physical prowess

specialization of military can only occur and operate if their is a base layer of uniformity to rely upon

better dead than red

topography?

knowledge of your environment can be an equalizer

yes

also

The privilege doens't end at PT standards either. They can usually get away with doing less work in various 'shops' in the Air Force, where i was. If it's too physically demanding, it's easier to just stick them at a desk instead of actually working

technique can always give you a leg up against an opponant

the guidelines of warfare u follow

It therefore may not necessarily be a disadvantage to have women in combat. It's not their physical prowess that matters, but how they are applied, tactically, in the battlefield

you could watch a UFC event and see the effects of technique versus physical power and how sometimes just technique can help you overcome an opponent

speed over power
