“We need to get them out of the Middle East before they hurt someone.”
I’ve been thinking…
Men have been at the forefront of every war since time immemorial. Oh, there have been a few woman warriors – Deborah, Joan of Arc, Michelle Yeoh … a few more. But they constitute a miniscule fraction of the number of men who have fought and died in wars.
“What’s you point, cat?” you ask.
My point is simply this: In these days of everyone demanding “reparations” for every historical offense (real or imagined) aren’t men owed reparations from women who’ve barely lifted a finger in their own defense over all these millennia?
Many social science studies have confirmed that men do better in life if they have a strong father figure in the home. How many men have been deprived of that father figure because their mother refused to go to war in the father’s stead? How much better off would men be – both emotionally and financially – if women had not shirked their duty to fully participate in the defense of their nation, city, tribe, or family? I don’t know but it must be something – at least theoretically. And having been theoretically cheated out of something aren’t men entitled to compensation?
Furthermore, to make up for the all of the men’s lives lost compared to women’s, the military should from now on be comprised entirely of women. I suppose we have to allow some gays in as well as recompense for their having been excluded during the centuries between the fall of Sparta and the implementation of “don’t ask don’t tell” by the Clinton administration – but strictly on a volunteer basis.
U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter recently announce that women are eligible to serve as “Army Rangers and Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps infantry, Air Force parajumpers and everything else that was previously open only to men.” So there you have it. No more excuses ladies.
The ranks of the military from now on should be filled exclusively by women. And, for not having served in anything close to sufficient numbers in the past, their pay should be docked to pay compensation to men.

@1: Up with women! They can bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan for a BLT sammich.
Let’em kill their own durn spiders from now on!
Hummmmm, my wife might be willing to go into the army, but kill her own spiders…never happen!
