Aw Shucks, the women failed

Female Marines Fail Infantry Officer Course | Washington Free Beacon

The only two women to participate in the Marine Corps Infantry Officer Course (IOC) failed ongoing tests to determine which infantry positions should be available to women, according to the Marine Corps Times:

The women failed the introductory Combat Endurance Test, a punishing test of physical strength and endurance, officials at Marine Corps headquarters said Tuesday. The latest class began March 28 at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., with 110 lieutenants participating. Ninety-six men passed the initial endurance test. Twelve men and two women — the only female Marines taking part — failed.

So much for equality. Now, maybe if the standards were lowered....

Well until they pass the test no women will be admitted, so there. Simple enough.

Most of the men fail it too, so what's your point?

If someone can't do something, does that make the person handicapped? How many qualify for the NBA?

If the training is too difficult for a woman to become an infantry officer, so be it.

That in no way makes women inferior to men.

In this case it does.
Why is it that people cant admit a truth? Is it because they dont want to offend or diminish?
Men are superior to women when it comes to physical strength and endurance.
No big surprise.

Actually 96 men passed, 12 men failed, how is that "most"?

Liberal math.

All men over all women? No? Then you have no point.

2 women failed. This does not mean that all women ever will fail. And it's certainly not a reason to bar women from trying.

 

[there4eyeM]

It's a truly weak man who thinks a few extra muscles makes him superior to women. Makes one wonder if the musculature is mostly behind his eyes and between his ears.

MOST of the Men, not ALL of the Men. That's the point.

This Marine Corps Officer School is obviously biased against Women.

It's a blind fool who doesnt see the obvious. Men have superior strength and endurance.
Nothing demeaning about it,thats just the way it is.
You can spew politically correct crap all you want but that won't change the facts.

All that tried failed. Are there some women out there who can pass? I'm sure there are,but the vast majority wont. Maybe you haven't noticed but men and women are built a little differently.
And I never said they shouldnt try. But they sure as hell shouldnt lower standards so they can pass.

 

[Katzndogz]

Women will pass as soon as the standards are lowered. Then even the men that didn't used to pass will pass. After that, there will be quotas to make sure enough incompetent people pass.

 

[Mad Scientist]

If all the Men failed the school they'd be saying to themselves: "What are we doing wrong here? Is it too tough?"

Why think differently with Women?

In combat and rescue missions, a few extra muscles do make him superior.

You obviously have my post confused with another.

Nowhere did I state that statistical evidence showed women the same as men physically.

I merely insist that the small difference doesn't count for much. How many people want or need to be infantry officers in the Marines, after all? But when it comes to pulling the trigger on an M16, a child can do it and kill the biggest soldier that ever lived. Pushing the button to launch a missile takes even less effort. The biggest crane lifting the heaviest weight can be operated by any average female.

In today's world, the tiny difference in power output between the average male and the average female doesn't count for excrement.

 

[koshergrl]

You seriously think pulling a trigger is all our marines do in combat?

You're dismissed. What a puke.

96 out of 108 men passed

in other words, most of the men passed

Don't have to lower the standards. Eventually some women will succeed.

You are so smart you didn't even read the post. Feel free to check my math, but roughly 89% of the men taking the test passed it.
