The United States navy, while not possessing as much as a
single, active ship that has ever
sunk any enemy’s counterpart, is boldly and aggressively attacking “male privilege” in its own ranks. Its Bureau of Medicine and Surgery is instructing
sailors on how to avoid said behavior thru such vehicles as the “Power and
Control Wheel” and the “Equality Wheel.”
The
“Power and Control Wheel’s” illumination of what constitutes male privilege
includes, “treating her like a servant,” “making the big decisions,” and
“refusing to pick up milk on your way home because it’s ‘women’s work’.”
Powerful, poignant and apropos points all I’m sure, but WTF?! I mean, WTF??!!
What
does it matter that our navy isn’t tasked with repelling or destroying our
enemies, as long as they can sink male
privilege?! Before we get too carried away by this torpedoing of macho
males, let’s consider some facts.
The
marines have recently finished a study that showed that, on average, in every
measurable category, women simply are not as fast, strong or effective as their
male counterparts when it comes to necessary war-fighting skills and behaviors,
and that this would lead to many, many lives lost if they were 'allowed' to serve
as front-line combatants.
“Male
privilege,” for its part, has historically resulted in many, many millions of males
dying in wars throughout the world, whereas, until now, females weren’t 'allowed' in
combat units.
I would
hope that we could all agree that having our military effectively defend our
nation and all her people would take
precedence over using it to experiment with social-engineering.
I would
be wrong.
This is not your father's navy. It's not even McHale's Navy.
John Paul Jones, David Farragut and "Bull" Halsey must be rolling in their graves.
