#3 Strong women have leadership ability due to strong intuition im business leadership and strong sniper talent from positions behind the front line, but they do not belong in direct front line combat.

In the corporate world a third party company doing work in a division was having problems and I was brought in as a consultant by the third party, but the third party manager was taking credit for the success of adjustments I implemented. Soon things were straightened out and rumor has it the manager was planning to release me. A top corporate female manager who was born in Norway and who everyone called the Viking called a meeting and asked everyone in the room to introduce themselves to her, I was to be the last person to be introduced per instructions. After I introduced myself she promptly said that if the third party company released me the third party company would be immediately terminated and escorted out of the building by security. That is the first female corporate executive that I ever met that was the real deal.

#5 10,000 years of evolution ignored. I vaguely recall from the 70's or 80's a Guinness Book of Records that covered warfare. It said something along the lines of all of recorded human history, there's been only about 200 years of peace when someone wasn't hammering someone else. That's just where they kept records. All the Karens make sure that isn't reflected in whatever history they teach the kiddies and subsequent adults.

#7 More than the twisted Americans, the Chinese and Russians want this as a feature of the US military.
