How much equality between the sexes do we REALLY want?

I haven't had kids and not sure if I ever will does that mean I just get the shaft cause I am female?

No, I'm sayin that in 2012, if you start your career at the same time as a man, work the same number of hours, and don't take 4 or 5 years off to raise children, your pay should keep pace with his.

I get more money for having a 3rd leg

I knew a woman that got 1/3rd more cash for having a 3rd titty

Look at the armed forces & police, men and women get paid the same but women don't have to reach the same standards as men and they're exempt from serving in the infantry yet they get paid the same.

Don't understand your reasoning there mucker - they get paid the same as their male colleagues in the same role in their unit / Corps?

I thought the CFT weight was "arms" related i.e. less weight for CS / CSS than "teeth arms" as opposed to gender.

(I haven't a clue what a bloke in the REME has to do to pass his PFT compared to a female counterpart either btw, I assume women get a more generous limit than 10:30 minutes anyway... *edit* now that I think about it I see where you're coming from hah).

Not even an hour ago u wished I was pick 3 so I could beat my lover and not go to jail for assaulting chicks. Plus in his life there is two male incomes and no womanly issues all men must deal with. I also know u deal with us, but being a man child deali g with other man children is easy... Chicks not so

Women don't get a handicap for physical tests in the US military?

The only NATO country I'm aware of that has women in the infantry is Holland. Even there they're usually assigned non combative roles.

yes they do....but other than one program geared toward women in a pseudo SF role women that are more elite aren't ever given the chance to match their male counterparts...its just not allowed
I dont like women that can't pull their own weight strength/endurance wise (or men for that matter)
but you are correct, aside from sit ups the physical fitness testing is different between ages and genders...but congress mandates this, not the pentagon

my point was there is nothing non combative about a ground medics job...I wasn't assigned to a unit because my unit was ground ambulance for a CSH...and anyone who thinks were doing trench warfare where theres a frontline is retarded...
because of my non combative MOS I was not eligible for combat awards...hell I know a couple of women that were denied purple hearts because the official stance was they were "non combatant"

my husband has a story about the female medic that he saw drag four men out of a humvee with shrapnel in her leg and was denied a purple heart, and arcom and a bronze star because she was "non combatant" and officially was not on the "frontlines"


its all political horseshit....trust me, there are just as many useless fuckin men in the service as their are women

no I enlisted because of him but he didn't want me to
I enlisted because he was so busted and I saw how shitty the medical care was to our soldiers.I was already a medic and figured I saw plenty of bad shit state side so could handle it
truth be told I hate the military because of the rampant stupidity
