How does one give a good apology for something they didn't do?
Hey guys, one time Patricia punched my cat in the face and slashed my tires. This happened 10 years ago, I swear.
Patricia, can you please give me a sincere apology and open up a public discussion about this?
This article is loaded with gold:
But how does it effect Tebow and his return to the NFL?
Johnny Football's reaction after the break.
The Latin word is "vāgīna," the word vagina is the English version.
Yes, but I can't be sexually harassed working at home.
I usually manage to keep my comments pretty civil around here, but, nope. Can't do it.
Those who have and do run the Marines know what it takes to be a Marine. Are you a Marine? What do you know is "logical or efficient" for being a Marine? Expecting someone to be able to do three pull ups is in no way shape form or fashion unreasonable.
Irrelevant. Strength of will and perseverence cannot alone cannot take on a dozens of kilometers trek while carrying 45kg of equipment. Men can do it and do do it. THEY HAVE TO. It keeps them alive. If a woman can do it, then let her in. If she cannot, don't. Everything else is irresponsible and puts women's lives in…
I'm also a female soldier. It pisses me off that people fail to notice that although the average man is stronger then the average woman, people do fall above and below that average mark. Many women I know are stronger than many men I know, including men currently serving in combat corps. If we ignore the women who…
I've been in bipolar mania/psychosis and I never groped anyone.
That's my mother in the picture above, she enlisted in the Women Marines just after Pearl Harbor. She's 91 now. This past Memorial Day weekend, after spending over two months in the hospital, to our amazement, she left her walker and pulled herself up a flight of stairs to have dinner with the family. So, 91 and…
I'm all for equality, but so long as those requirement's don't include "must have dong," I'm against lowering them. If you can meet or exceed them, more power to you, but if you can't you're a liability - whether you have a ponos or a vagoo.
I would point out, to everyone who is so quick to say "I can do pull-ups!" that Marine Corps pull-ups are each done from a dead hang (elbows locked out) and zero 'kipping' (kicking your legs) I know plenty of people that can pound out 20 conventional pull-ups who aren't able to do three of the perfect form Marine…
There is no excuse for 55% of female recruits to not be able to meet the minimum standard for pullups. I would also like to point out that there are special boxes for the women on our obstacle courses, which are more "real life" in terms of using legs etc. We female Marines are capable, we need to be held to high…
A soldier must be able to do a pull up. Suppose they fall in a hole? Suppose they need to pull themselves up over a fence of some sort or over a wall? Suppose they have to do anything that requires them to pull their body weight up and cant? Should they be left behind or should they put their fellow soldier in harms…
On the one hand, yes, there are physiological differences. On the other, let's look at something only tangentially related: this year, three women have completed the first stage of American Ninja Warrior (no woman has completed it prior to this season). Two of the three are relatively "tiny" women, the third is…
Everytime I here that "pull a trigger" argument I want to pull my hair out. I was in the Marine infantry for four years, as my knees and back can attest. You carry heavy loads, endure extreme conditions, handle very unfriendly gear and weapons in the worst situations imaginable. There cannot be a double standard on a…
I think some women will be fully capable and some wont be. Just like the men, some can and some can't. The standards should not be lowered for anyone.
