The rule book seems bereft of guidance concerning targeted abuse or harassment of vulnerable ideologies, my innate affability will have to suffice.
Whilst the discussive goal posts may have been arbitrarily narrowed once again, the game remains afoot, TERFaphobia, SJWophobia and climate-hoax-lemmingophobia are not a thing yet, plenty of targets for some reactionary microaggressions there.

JK Rowling faces backlash for comments on the phrase ‘people who menstruate’
The author of the Harry Potter series took issue with the headline of an opinion piece that referred to "people who menstruate." Rowling said she believed that the headline should refer to women instead. Her comment was seen as transphobic, as transgender men can still menstruate. In 2019, Rowling came under fire for similar comments. |

Another frightening example of the armed forces going woke:

Wtf?! Emotional intelligence? I'm sure that'll come in very handy when releasing weapons designed to blast people into tiny pieces of scorched flesh  ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I don't think you can 'pidgeonhole' this man as a typical conscientious objector though.
He volunteered to serve even though he was in a protected job. He was obviously and incredibly brave man and doesn't conform to the standard definition.
A conscientious objector is an "individual who has claimed the right to refuse to perform military service" on the grounds of freedom of thought, conscience, or religion. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I have become deeply suspicious of that word. In some instances, I think what it is used to describe looks more like regress.
I have been seeing various snippets about the relaxing of certain standards, and the adopting of policies that are just a step away from equity goals in our military. Given how these things are penetrating all aspects of society and our institutions these days, it worries me.
The military operates on a code of discipline. It can be no other way for effective armed forces if they are to do what is their main purpose - fight in war. Relaxation of that is a slippery slope. And it is the military people who are the experts on this, not the university and college professors and students who sit in a snug, warm office or classroom analysing how many people from minority groups join the forces. If people want to join, they know the standards - or used to - and can look for some other profession if they can't hack it, whatever identity they dribble about. In the military, that IS your identity - all else is subsumed to it. That's the whole point. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

wiki says:
"Emotional intelligence has been defined, by Peter Salovey and John Mayer, as "the ability to monitor one's own and other people's emotions, to discriminate between different emotions and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior". This definition was later broken down and refined into four proposed abilities: perceiving, using, understanding, and managing emotions."
For the purpose of getting people to do what you're telling them to, being able to understand and then manipulate their emotions could be used to your advantage.
There'll be other situations where for the purpose of getting people to do what you're telling them to, you'll be best-off using the emotional intelligence of a house brick.
Surely emotional intelligence (EQ), integrity and behaviours are already considered alongside objective delivery?
They can call it maximising talent through diversity and inclusion and then start harping on about emotional intelligence but it sounds more like wanting to unnecessarily apply labels and provide explanations for skill sets that are already used. |

What was wrong with the way our armed services were doing things up till now, that require a new emphasis on "EQ"?
What you are talking about with incentivising servicemen is about leadership qualities - nothing new to the armed services, although plainly the academic world could learn a thing or two about it from them.
It is the same altering of the use of language that the woke brigade peddle, and it has no practical use in the real world beyond what we already know and do.
What we have to learn is where to draw the line between what the academics study and what actually works in the real world, given the goals we wish to achieve. Academia is merely a starting point, and it is far from infallible. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Huh... so what about a malignant narcissist or psychopath? Very good at manipulating other people's emotions but surely, by definition, their EQ = zero?
Regarding so called "progress" we seem to be going down a route where masculinity as a concept is frowned upon and then what happens when someone ruthless comes along?
Some fictional scenarios: the political backdrop of Demolition Man, Brave New World (the book, not the terrible TV series) Fahrenheit 451 (book not film) and of course 1984 and Animal Farm (book or film actually fine for a change) Equilibrium, THX 1138... no one seems to have anything good to say about this particular path! ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
