This is a subject that has been eating at me every since I found out that women could vote... Now, before I start I should let you know that I am not sexist and that all opinions I express in the following text are purely political in nature;
Every so often there is a "fad" of sorts where women all over the USA get together and decide that they are being treated unfairly or discriminated against. However, this is not to say that they are always wrong in their protest and sometimes the woman in question actually was treated unfairly but most of the time it seems to me as if the young women fresh out of college who are trying to get a job and just happen to be on their periods join up with the middle aged women who are going through empty nest syndrome and think that they are making a change when all they are really doing is annoying people.
One of the most recent of these events was centered around a college cutting funding for its women's sports because they were not profiting off of them and needed the money for their men's sports which they did profit off of. What a lot of people do not realize is that college sports are not an extracurricular activity, they are a business. Schools like Notra Dame rely on their football team for a large source of their income where as women's field hockey is just a burden. Now, instead of protesting this very legitimate action taken by the school, the women could have been out raising money to help fund the canceled sports... Another sporting related example is women wanting to play on men's teams in sports like football... There are so many issues that would arise from that that I can not even begin to mention them all. Not the least of these are the special treatment she would "need" (like a seperate locker room) and the incredible disadvantage it would put her team at. That said, show me the girl who can bench press 250lbs, run the 40 with a comparable time to the running back and throw a 60 yard pass and I would put her on my team.
Perhaps the best example is women in the armed forces. This also just so happens to be the most dangerous example. Women have absolutely no place in the armed forces. As a soldier I would not want a woman watching my back in battle, I would want a guy pumped up on adrenaline and bursting at the seems with testosterone ready to blow someones' face off watching my back. In close quarters combat I would not want a woman to be my backup, I would once again want a man backing me up. As a soldier in war you kill or be killed, once given the order to fire you fire until ever single one of your enemies is dead or captured. If a woman or child picks up a weapon and aims it at you, you must kill them without hesitation. There is no time for any female based emotional inhibitions about whether or not it is okay to kill someone let alone a woman or child. Squeeze the trigger until the clip is empty then put another clip in. As far as women in high ranking positions as officers, you have the same problem with the femal based emotional inhibitions...
What do you guys think?
