How mindless PC makes idiots of us all

I know, it isn't Thursday, but I don't consider female issues a (D)iversity issue.  Sure, the (D)iversity Commissariat tries to make it such, but that is just because they are a bunch of self-serving, empire building, fonctionnaires. I have too much respect for women, and refuse to play. After all, I was taught to stand up for the honor of women, and they don't need those clock watching, quota mongering, excuse makers in the (D)iversity industry to fight their battles.

As the regular readers know, I have always been a supporter of women serving in those places they are capable of meeting the standards to do so - going to the the MIDN Salamander days. Is how the Navy doing things right now perfect, no ... but few things are. I also acknowledge one of the great things about life; men & women are build differently - and that's OK, at least to me.

I like reality, just as I like a good liberal arts based education (even engineers can get that BTW), and blunt honesty. Well, it appears that at USNA - the (D)iversity Bullies have squashed not only free discussion, but have also managed to destroy linear, logical thought based on reality, and sound thinking that a well rounded education should give a young man or women. 

So, here we find ourselves. One of the generation that is going to have to fix the mess the Boomers made had the temerity to ask - shock - a logical question. The results can be found in the pic below; part of a weekly feedback from MIDN that is answered by MIDN at USNA.

Get out the white board and diagram this logic chain for me. Seriously ... please try to do this. I am lost in a sea of intellectual dishonesty, PC diktat, and general nausea at the stupidity inducing 2nd-order effects of Cultural Marxism.

A+ question; D+ answer.

BEHOLD!

So, let's review. To destroy sexism, we must engage in sexism. To fight claims that women are measured by a lower bar, we must keep that lower bar. To keep high standards, we must allow a lower standard. 

Madness.  This could have been fixed decades ago if we had the moral courage to speak truth to inanity.

There is a couple that I know who are regular readers here; though they don't know it (I may be about to out myself to them, but that is OK - they can keep a secret). They were a couple in my NROTC unit, got married after commissioning, and are still going strong - she is still on AD I believe. 

They are both great individuals. They were better MIDN, and probably better officers, that I was. That is not the point.  The XX of the couple of was a PT goddess. I'm no slack (wait, in NROTC I was a slack, but different subject for a different day), but she ALWAYS ... and I mean ALWAYS did better than I did on the PRT.  Not gender-normed score mind you ... no; she could do more real push-ups (I have real long arms and a middle back problem from football, ahem), finish the run in a faster time (I'm a sprinter, ahem), and could max sit-ups faster with better form (I have a back injury, ahem).

There are women out there that can meet an objective standard. Not that many - but enough.  If they can, then let them try and let them serve. If they can't, well, that is just acknowledging that XX is different than XY - and there are other places they can serve their nation as well as the others who cannot physically qualify in spite of having XY. Damage control, combat, or taxes; they don't care; better meet a common standard or you get yourself and others killed.

100% of men can't give birth, and 99.9% women can't objectively meet infantry or SEAL warfare requirements.

So? I can't dance or sing. 

Think being a SEAL is tough?
