That’s not even remotely the same thing. We’re talking about a primarily heterosexual military (since the general population is mostly hetero) being put in extreme situations with testosterone ramped up, being asked to go against their normal biological responses to women (mating and protecting and jealousy and

So what about the all female Kurdish units fighting ISIS? Is that just something the media made up? I’m pretty sure that’s a thing that’s happening.

No disrespect intended, but there is a HUGE difference in COMBAT and high stress life and death situations and whether or not we should let a lady in the board room. These are entirely different worlds. Not everything needs to be integrated. Do you think dudes need to be in the ladies bathrooms? Do you think ladies

yeah, I keep saying that same thing. I would be SO proud to see American women becoming badasses in all female units as women in other parts of the world have already proven that women can do.

Every time we go on about how badass the Kurdish all-female units are... we keep ignoring the fact that they are ALL FEMALE UNITS. They are not scattered

Oh, I don’t know... war emancipated us from the British. It ended the Holocaust. You know... silly stuff like that.

Here’s the key: “All-Female Units”. Look, if we want a badass warrior Amazon sisterhood we have to can this integration crap. We need sex segregation back in the military. The problem with it before was that women were not being allowed into combat roles AND were being sex segregated. Allow women in combat roles, put

I am a woman. And I’m a civilian, but I still understand the bonding thing. Maybe I’ve listened to enough people’s literal war stories to get it. The fact is, I don’t care what the Jezzies think about this, but I believe the military needs to be sex segregated. I believe women need to be in combat positions,
