How does it feel to be a tool?
Did you even put any effort into reading the article or did you just get sucked in by whatever some youtuber said?

Whats fucking stupid here, beside the link is the fact that this story is making the rounds through the shit list sites and people are mindless quoting the headlines.

For people who do not want to drop IQ points by reading shit articles....

What new injury, performance data tells us about Marine boot camp

A vast trove of biometric data provides unprecedented insights into the physical experience of recruits in the 13 weeks at boot camp.

Why the Marine Corps may nix gender identifiers for drill instructors

Will it be the end of "sir" and "ma'am"?

All I can say is it's about time. For those who didn't read the article and just looked at the headline it isn't just about misgendering. It basically said it to avoid looking for gender characteristics (eyes up here) and to show the same respect from male to female drill sargeants. It's not just to avoid misgendering someone.

Seems pretty reasonable to me. I can't imagine there are that many times a marine addresses a superior officer and the officer's gender is relevant. Referring to them by rank instead puts the focus solely on the fact that they outrank you, which is always pretty relevant.

@pauldun170 helpful links cleared it up. The trash linkage in the OP was all 'woke' up with bullshit. I read the Marine's links first and then squinted a bit and looked sideways at the OP link, I think I avoided most of the damage.

This is something I struggle to have an opinion on, I cant imagine being invested to a point where I’d resist it because reasons. For the vast majority of people I think it should be a “ok” and carry on. Or do you suggest I let JP drag me into the culture wars? Drag me down to his level where he’d beat me with experience?

(here we dont have 'maam', "sir" fits all).

To summarize so that I am prepared for breakfast with one of my favorite Deplorable’s tomorrow.
The Gender neutral proposal applies the Drill Instructors only correct?

Instead of yes Sir or Mame it would be yes Sargent Smith
*Do I remember Forrest Gump always saying rank & last name?

Ugh, the Outkick "article" linked in the OP is just a fucking joke. But, not a shock. Anything associated with Clay Travis is gonna be a dumpster fire. Fuck him. Sideways. With a pine cone.

The idea is good and sound. Makes complete sense. It's just being used for more rage fodder on the unhinged right.

The woke left is trying to wipe out men by making the military gender neutral. If we do that then our beloved armed forces will collapse into a bunch of weak non-binary non-persons that won't even be able to lift a gun or understand Jesus Christ and all that is holy.

Referring to all superiors as "Sir" is the only way to prevent the collapse of our military and our country and our god given way of life.

Luckily, the American Hunter is still the best deterrent to foreign governments.. which is why China just bought our Politicians via phoney elections over the last 2 decades… We lost the war and are simply a vassal state of Beijing — every pimp-slap you see like this to our once-great institutions and Men is just proof of our defeat.

In a way, the Marines have been using this for years and are just expanding on it. When I went to Marine OCS in '85, we only referred to the instructors by their title, which were Platoon Sergeant and Sergeant Instructor. That was it. Platoon Sergeants were Gunnies and Sergeant Instructors were almost always Staff Sergeants (with the occasional Sergeant) so even if they weren't your platoon's instructor it was pretty easy to know which title to use.

Of course, back then men and women trained at different camps at Quantico, so the chance of me encountering a female instructor was next to none, but if I had I would have referred to them by title anyway.

Marines have to do a lot of shit tougher than remembering pronouns. If that’s the kind of thing that makes you (royal you not you you), tear up in rage you probably aren’t cut out to be a marine.

I have a feeling a substantial number of the people who are bitching about something that hasn't even been adopted only qualified to be Gravy Seals on Meal Team 6. AKA would never be able to hack air force boot camp in the first place let alone Marine boot camp.

U.S. MARINES CONSIDERING BANNING ‘SIR’ OR ‘MA’AM’ TO AVOID ‘MISGENDERING’


"Considering" does not mean "Set To"
