In Response To: Yes, let's not actually listen to why I said that (Hikaru-119)


: Okay taking a cheap shot at me without hearing me out, how typical of the
: internet. Yes, in a far flung future where the government is willing to
: take away your children in the middle of the night and will beat you to
: death or shoot you probably if you don't give them up, yeah I'd hand them
: over, though not very quickly. You all assume I'd just go "okay yeah
: take my kids." Fuck that, I'm not that heartless or stupid.

Well you didn't make that clear.

: Don't blame me for the military's stance on women being in combat arms.

I don't.

: I agree with it.

That's what I blame you for, but let's look a little deeper.

: I can tell you right now in an all male unit we don't have high school
: politics. As soon as women get involved in the unit, BAM! instantly too
: many men try to impress the woman. On the battlefield they will go
: out of their way even more so to protect that woman instead of doing
: the mission due to some weird thing ingrained in our genetics or brains.

I'd see that as a deficiency in our culture and argue that it wouldn't be there in reasonable, smart people in the 26th century.

: It affects us more than in affects them, but I've also seen plenty of women
: in the military not do their jobs fully on the battlefield BECAUSE of
: their heart. Hesitation from both sexes will lead to people on our side
: getting killed. Sadly those with a Y chromosome have this tendency to
: actually want to pull the trigger. Obviously there will be cases that
: prove otherwise for both parties as with the cop at Ft Hood.

I'm pretty sure you're referring to the long-held belief of there being greater aggression and similar impulses in men but AFAIK they haven't found the genes that cause this and studies have shown it varies tremendously based on upbringing, and I've certainly seen my fair share of females tougher than most males. Since you don't seem to have the gender bias it sounded like you had before I'll just say I think your argument is flawed to the point of being wrong and I think you should re-think your stance.

You cannot fall off the floor.
