Kill Shot – The Narrative Takes Two to the Chest; Women in the Infantry Myth Firmly Debunked
2018-01-26
[FreeRangeInternational] Newman: Is gender equality desirable?

Peterson: "If you mean equality of outcome than almost certainly it’s undesirable...Men and women won’t sort themselves out into the same categories if you leave them alone to do it on their own accord. We’ve seen that in Scandinavia, it’s 20 to 1 female nurses to male nurses...and approximately the same male engineers to female engineers and that’s the consequences of free choice by men and women in the societies that have gone farther than any other societies to make to make gender equality the purpose of the law. Those are ineradicable differences. You can eradicate them with tremendous social pressure and tyranny but if you leave men and women to make their own choices you will not get equal outcomes."

This answers, once and for all, both the how and why behind forcing women onto the infantry.

The Marine Corps, like all the branches of the armed forces, is helpless against the diktats of our ruling elites. They can’t sit down and spend 30 minutes dismantling liberal dogma on live TV. They fought back against Ash Carter and the idiot Ray Mabus the only way they could, by launching a detailed experiment on the performance of mixed gender infantry units. The results were unequivocal; mixed gender units performed poorly, women Marines were unable to meet the physical demands of infantry combat. Even if they could hack it the critical topic of how infantry Marines socialize to develop the cohesion required to sustain themselves in combat was ignored.
Watched Prof. Peterson on Tucker last evening. A most interesting gentleman.

#6  The race doesn't always go with those who CAN hump a 120 lb rucksack for 10 miles at a run , but that's who I'd bet on.

#5  They can't hump a 120 lb rucksack for 10 miles at a run and they can't life the power bag for an 8-inch howitzer.

The difference between defense and offense. It's damn hard to win a war always on defense.

#4  Well, the IDF, the Pershmerga, and others have done quite well with female combatants

Not if you ask me

#3  Well, the IDF, the Pershmerga, and others have done quite well with female combatants. However, they were organized into female only units.

There is nothing gender based about being able to shoot a rifle. The issue is the getting to that point to fire the rifle. They can't hump a 120 lb rucksack for 10 miles at a run and they can't life the power bag for an 8-inch howitzer.

There are a lot of things women can do in combat, and they are deadly at it, ask ISIS, but they can't do a lot of the things necessary to fight as infantry.

Flying and servicing aircraft and helicopters seems about right.

#1  Every time I go to a year-end tax seminar, it's 85% men and 15% women. I wonder if Cathy Newman's pea-sized brain can explain that?

(no, I don't, actually...)
