Stereotypes exist for a reason. They are not created out of thin air. We are talking about Marine lives and combat effectiveness. There is no room for such experimentation within the USMC. This is a politically motivated agenda being executed by flawed senior leadership.
I feel the exact same way about women in ground combat units.
The Marines work as intended. Keep the forced tolerance, diversity, and equality nonsense in the civilian world, where the snowflakes can all huddle together in their safe spaces.
Look, the integrated task force set out to assess the combat effectiveness of a gender diverse unit… it failed miserably. A gender diverse unit had zero advantage, and didn’t perform better than an exclusive male unit in any event. Yet, the department of defense brushed the research off, and said do it anyways… that’s where we’re at. So most combat units developed and integrated some sort of a relative to the mos, physical fitness standard. It weeded out more men than prospective women… I’ve met and served with women who could bang out more pull ups than me, who are faster than me, who can perform and who I would trust more than most men o served with. They exist. Yes I agree the stereotypes gotta come from somewhere, but it’s not objective as it doesn’t account for all of them, let alone most of them.
And the fact is, they’re here, and they aren’t going anywhere. It doesn’t fall on them as incompetent, it falls on the leadership to find a way to effectively work with what they have. Kick out all the women and lbgtq members? You aren’t going to have people to replace them with, you’re simply going to be short bodies. Yes, sometimes being short a guy is the better alternative. But it shows your incompetence to effectively lead, achieve objectives, and complete the mission.
There are also gays and what ever else they may identify as that out perform many “men” that chose to enlist. It comes down to the individual. What you guys are doing is discriminating. It’s something that would get you relieved of your duties, and separated today as it highlights your deficiency, failure to adapt, and overall incompetency.
