is there a possibility that people will die as a result of physical differences between men and women in these jobs? ETA: as long as women firefighters have the same requirements as men (ex, able to lift x amount of weight) then I'm fine with it. But I remember hearing a debate about this from bill maher yrs ago that women werent held to the same standards

I'll keep this short. I was watching this
which is a documentary about rape in the military and how rare it is for these crimes against women to be taken seriously. I got the idea that the whole reason women were ever allowed in the military was to entertain the men. I say this because when it comes to physical work, women are much less efficient and more vulnerable; they don't even allow the women in combat; they create environments which enable the men to prey on the women; and they often blame the woman for complaining about it or sweep it under the rug.
This is something they had to have known would happen. It's a simple as 1-2-3. Men/people will behave in predictable ways in certain situations. These are men are stressed out, isolated from society, away from their families, and sometimes risking life and limb and they throw a few women into the mix. What did they expect would happen? They come in from a hard day of work, no family to greet them, they already feel like women are not doing their share of the work, and they most likely feel entitled.
I have never been in the military nor do I have any family members who have so I may be way off here. What is your opinion on this? |
To the first bolded part, that's not true. I know women who work in aircraft maintenance that can take apart a C-130 engine and fix it with no problems. I know skinny men in my job (network technician) that couldn't even lift a book and put it on a shelf.
The second bolded is the reason why there are so many rapes in the military...people sympathize with these men. This whole paragraph sounds like women/victim blaming...as if a woman got raped because the man has it so hard; how about that man needs to grow the fuck up and keep his hands to himself.

1. You're comparing a female aircraft technician to a male office worker. I wasn't trying to imply that women are useless, however there is a noticeable difference between our physical abilities on average when not considering two extremes of the population which is kind of what you are doing.
2. I don't sympathize with the men, but I think the people in charge in the military do and that's why this keeps happening. I agree that men should keep their hands to themselves, but what's right and wrong probably hasn't prevented as many assaults as the threat of legal action has. The stressors of military life compounded with the implied tolerance of this behavior by their supervisors probably does give them a sense of entitlement and superiority. I'm not sure how pointing that out is victim blaming.

I will never join the military. The misogyny there is in its purest form through men under stress, easily-manipulated and abused authority, and a horrible sense of entitlement. I think they turn straight animalistic because of all the stress. The sex games you commonly hear about are one thing. But the outright rape is another.
I'd feel safer in the of Chi-town at 3 in the morning than in the military. No hate to military peeps, but I'd fear for my safety and not because of the enemy I'd have to fight but the men I call my comrades.

I kind of feel like no one is addressing my main question on whether they think women were allowed in the military for this specific purpose. That's not to say that all they can do or that's all they're good for, but considering that they have limited duties and that these types of crimes are very rarely acted upon, do you think this is why women continue to be recruited? Perhaps sex/entertainment is the only reason they are there but no one wants to come out and say it?
