If I applied and did it within the females time requirements, if I wasn't applying for a frontline job then surely I should be accepted in any job that a woman would be doing? |
Funnily, during my 'Bravo' course training for the reserves, all of the females but one dropped out. All because of fitness reasons, even though they had less weight to carry, less weight to lift, an easier run, etc etc.
One of them dropped out because she couldn't life a 15kg powerbag up. The rest of us were doing 40kg and having no problems. Thinking about this, it concerns me that a woman that can barely lift 15kg would be allowed into the army (succeeds, but barely) ____________________ I'm autistic. That means I'm smarter than you. |

For example, they don't want to work in a factory as that's a mans job, so they apply for something a bit higher up the spectrum that they just don't have the experience or qualifications for. Then when they get rejected, they scream and shout saying it's because of their gender.
Also, I just realised my posts seem to be coming across as me targeting women. It's just down to the fact that they are the "victims" in this and I think someone needs to get down to the bottom of it... |
I think the majority of women don't apply for 'mens jobs' because they're simply not interested. Just like the opposite. Roles are roughly gendered because, in general, that's what the genders like. We shouldn't try and fight that, there's no point demanding 50/50 representation when it doesn't actually suit our species.
But, we also have to accept that it isn't a simple male/female thing. There are great male nurses, there are great female politicians... as discussed, as long as the 'standards for entry' aren't changed then crack on. If someone has to drag my fat ass out of a burning building, they'd better be able to sling me over their shoulder and do so. Gender unimportant.
What pisses me off is the women who want the special hand holding or give it all the 'look at me, aren't I special for doing a boys thing'. No, what you're doing is fucking it up for all the other women who would do it purely on merit. And don't get me started on the maternity rights stuff - if there's one area where women have shafted their own gender it's this. |

Nope. Not really.
And a C- for effort - wasn't expect you to give up so easily!
Is a "basic human right" where you draw the line, or is it further up towards having an equal opportunity towards said Olympic medal? |

EDIT: Abuse! Abuse! ABUSE! Call the feelings police!!
Did you join JUST for this thread?
Are you that much of a faggot?
Shouldn't you be crying on tumblr right now?
Do you even know what sexism is?
Why are you such a faggot?
Did daddy never love you?
Are you "crying right now, please leave me alone"?
Do you enjoy living life on easy mode?
Why are you so delusional?
Seriously, why are you such a faggot?
You think we're sexist? Do you REALLY know what sexism is, or does it just mean "something I don't like"?
Why do you follow an ideology based on irrationality and emotions?
Why do you eschew all responsibility?
Why do you want to be able to do whatever you want without consequence?
Come on now, why are you such a faggot?
If I said I will rape you to death, would you be stupid enough to take it seriously and cry to the n00zpapers?
Do you think Anita Sarkeesian is the heroine of our time?
Do dongles make you afraid?
You must be a gigantic faggot.
Do your people stalk the internet looking for discussions about this kind of thing just to muscle in and throw some of your delusional rhetoric about? ____________________ I'm autistic. That means I'm smarter than you. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 10 years, 86 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
