Female body armor. WTF!

[5string]

Next thing we'll see will be kevlar tampons! I was in the infantry and would never share a foxhole with some snatch who was worrying about where her mascara went when Joe Jihad was trying to fvckin smoke my a$$.

Emasculation at it's best.

It doesnt take a genius to realize that men are getting more and more alienated day after day and in few years they will no longer be willing to fight wars "for thir country" or "their culture", so open the way to women, much better than men when it comes on hurt unarmed helpless people and do what the boss says.

Basically American males will end up like Stefon, the Saturday Night Live Weekend Update club scene correspondent. Unreal.

One step closer to seeing women in combat roles where they will die? Perhaps, though, another service member dead is bad just the same. I think this latest great waste of money is more geared toward troop movements and etc. Many hours in something that doesn't fit you would suck for anyone; most definitly in the sand box. Though, with the known PC hipocracy of our armed services I am sure this inch and the inches before it will be taken for miles upon miles.
Personally, I don't care for where it might very well go, but I can't deny the potential resource of an unexhausted rifleman sending rounds downrange when needed. Have to say I have more respect for the women in uniform who don't hold onto their western ideals and know they have to prove themselves in a man's world. Uniforms do a lot to conceal most of women's preceived advantages and honestly, the military is about as close as I have seen to dealing with gender in the workplace that is a perfect/inperfect system.
One could site many examples and the countless sexual assualt/rape cases (false or otherwise) that are like a cancer within the DoD, but this is still far far lower of occurance than in the civilian world. I don't have stats to back up that claim, but when your dealing with only a little over 1 percent of the population, its not hard to draw such a conclusion.
Live long and prosper :rockon:

These past few years I've seen many news articles and TED articles talking about how men need to man up and stop playing video games, stop being man-childs etc etc...

But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense so many dudes are turning to videogames. The vast majority of gamers are men (there are some exceptions but very few). Games are still an art form and activity which a man has to himself. Every other aspect of society has been infiltrated with the "If a man can do it, women can do it too" mantra that we've alienated men. We need something that we can do on our own, a manly ritual of sorts.

From what I hear even the military is alienating men by overly catering to women. Women constantly get switched out of their combat group earlier for more rest time, and it ebbs with the group's flow and unity. A rape charge can end a military man's career pretty quickly even if not convicted. Women are not even allowed in the front lines in the American army, we send in our men to die in the most dangerous places. Yet you'll never see women arguing for equality here.

Video games is almost completely male dominated. Go on Xbox live and you'll see for yourself. We don't have to worry about toning down actions, language, we can just be ourselves and relax. It's sad that this is the aspect of society that is left for men.

It really is becoming a woman's world. Sadly.

 

[Sneevox]

You're complaining that women want to fight for their country?

Okay.

 

[Zerro]

Wow, just wow. Get a grip on yourselves.

The reason for the new body armor is because *newsflash* stuff built for a man's body doesn't fit well on a female body. For body armor to be most effective it needs to fit properly, is it really so hard to understand that a body with significantly different geometry is going to require modified armor? These problems have been known about for years but finally they're doing something to address it.

Body armor for women has nothing to do with emasculating men. No one is forcing you to date an amazon.

THANK YOU, relax you guys. Do you go to the shopping center and expect them to sell clothes that are meant to fit both males and females? No! It has been a widely known fact that women now serve in the military and that probably won't be changing any time soon. (if ever) So it makes sense that we would create some sort of modified equipment for them. It would be a problem if they made men wear the female armor.

I say let women be allowed in infantry or special forces...make it mandatory for them to have direct combat jobs on an equal ratio to men.

they want equality....

...they should have to bleed and die for it just like men.

Okay.

It's cool that women would want to fight for their country. The question is, should they? I say fvck no! None of them should be allowed into combat jobs. Are you fvcking kidding me? This just p!sses me off to no end. Physically, they can't handle it.....PERIOD! Mentally, who knows but I doubt it. They need to stay in the rear with the gear.

This country is turning into a bunch of emasculated fvckin sissies.

Why don't us guys just stay the fvck home and let the chickies get the job done? That's where we're headed.

It's not like this is the only time in history that women have fought, many of the best Russian pilots and snipers of WWII were women. And the g'damn Vikings allowed it to happen as well.

Very true, but ask yourself this.......If you were in combat, would you want a woman to watch your back or a man? hmmmmm?

I'll take Carlos Hathcock over Nancy Pelosi any day.

Problem is that viking women were not able to sue odin for sexism if their promotion didnt arrive when they wanted it nor were believed if crying harassment if eric the red screamed them to move their cvntish self out of the boat.

Plus those women were either able to provide as much as men did or they were killed or left, there were not such things as special criteria for recruitment or quota to fill to make the king happy.

 

[Burroughs]

Our main weakness as men lies within our inability to recognize when and how men are hated, we want so desperately to believe the illusion, we want so desperately to be liked and wanted and needed, that we have lost all sort of instinct for self preservation, to the point where we will literally jump in front of knives and bullets for women we dont even know.

The system is not designed for male contentedness, it doesn't want male happiness, it wants you to constantly feel incomplete, it thrives off of your insecurity , it needs you to question yourself, it needs you to be in constant fear...

Of what exactly?

of being alone of being a virgin, of continuing to have sex after your no longer a version, of being muscular, of not going bald, of this of that of everything. Because remember you are not allowed a shred of weakness or vulnerability, it stifles the spirit of men it is pesticide on the male soul, and i want out. I want out...go ahead, repeat it for yourself, see how it makes you feel to say it... I want out. say it my fellow men we want out. there is real value in saying this because society still has no clue, their pumping out these man up articles one right after another arent they?

have we raised a generation of men that dont know how to be men? where have all the good men gone? how come women are outperforming men in this and that?, they simply will not come admit that this is a result of a sustained effort to disenfranchise men, one in which the end result can only be, men turning their backs on a society that will to the bitter end hate on men for doing so.

Because you exist to serve, there wont be an equal treatment of male victims of domestic violence, for example no matter how much the inequality of it is pointed out, simply because you as a man have no right in this society to demand equal treatment.

Such a thing would spell death for this society, and so to demand equality from this society is to demand that this society voluntarily carry out a process of self implosion.

I certainly wont say that men shouldn't fight for these things. They most certainly should.. im simply making the claim that our society...western society as we know it, cannot exist, in the event that men begin to enjoy equal protections under the law fully.

 

[Alle_Gory]

Some of ya'll need to shut up. If these women want to go into combat and die for their government, then it's their choice. It is also the military's duty to supply them with properly fitting combat wear. So what exactly is your problem?
