Fair enough. I actually agree with you about that.

That’s what it is. A carefully selected list of anecdotes you’re recounting (or inventing) to illustrate your point. Shitty or incompetent male Marines redacted for your convenience.

So why not just accept the women who can do the pullups, and have the rest fail? Last article I read it was around 45% who passed. Most people, you’ll find - including most feminists - are alright with failing women if they don’t pass a PT test, provided that PT test is an accurate representation of one’s ability to…

Assuming your anecdote is accurate, if they can’t drag that weight, ask yourself one question: why is the CF’s general standard for all applicants, of any age/gender/intended trade, higher than that for female Marines?

No, now a girl did what they did. Girls suck, clearly. So either they have to make up stories about how much harder they had it than the girls, or their accomplishment is something a girl could do; i.e., lesser.

The commenter I responded to specifically said “drag” to cover. You drag with your legs. This is why the CF now requires you to drag/carry that weight. Virtually all of the women who try out can do it.

In all honesty, though, anyone can pretend to be anyone on the internet. Why should I or anyone else here believe a word you say? I can believe that someone told you those things, but even you yourself can’t know if they’re true or not. “What happened” is something you, or I, don’t actually know. You (claim that you)…

Yeah unsourced second and third-hand information from people disinclined to accept their presence means you “know for a fact” that they got special treatment. Seems legit to me.

You do pull ups with your legs now? Huh.

I have two females I work with that weight under 140 lbs and could not pick me up or drag me if their life depended on it.

Well, hey, now that we have a few anecdotes about some poorly performing “females” from your training days, who needs a publicly-funded scientific study?

Actually Asian women are paid considerably better than white women in comparison with white men.

I started around the same age but it actually helped me come later on, I found. I knew exactly which motions I like/get me off, which I could quickly show my partners.

...I started at 5. Apparently that isn’t all that abnormal.

Ironically (?) kitchens are getting more ergonomic over time, then. The average height here for women 20-35 is 5’6” and the current teens are even taller.

Yeah, this. Tons of college-aged women donate eggs to make ends meet. She could have been told that none of them were fertilized.

Now to see whether or not those “changes to the script” include something insulting like having her fail to save her husband (whereas the male lead was written as saving his wife) as in Salt because the director felt that having a woman rescue a man would be too “emasculating” for the audience. Ugh.

As a woman, I don’t understand it either. I think it’s basically just art admiration, though. Like an impractical but beautiful sculpture. It’s not really meant to be worn.

Well, you said the OP’s comment (about Canada) was “just not true,” and posted links to studies done in an entirely different country as evidence. Because you “highly doubt” something doesn’t make it not so, so your rebuttal (?) falls entirely flat here.

The commenter specifically said “in Canada.” Both articles you linked are about the United States.
