That is rather like a too-clever personalised car plate which needs explaining ....... for a brain-challenged MetMan, they have to be self-evident, very self-evident!

Ah the penny has now dropped.

Personally I enjoy other peoples opinions.May not agree with them but I share Voltaire's philosophy.

If (when?) a big war happens, conscription will be interesting... Women will be liable to the call up as men. Infantry with a 50/50 split, as per approximate population, would result in us losing. I always thought the idea of the military was to win, not pander to the PC brigade.

What's wrong with you?
Everyone else knows we do not mention elephants - ever!

Funny old thing, last night in the pub, we were discussing the feminist assertion that men are responsible for all the violence in the World and someone mentioned that women are attracted to and wish to mate with, at least, assertive, dominant men.

If they pass selection and are fully trained, then why not? There is no reason to lose a war. The Russians used females in combat roles in both world wars and did not lose after all?

Equily should mean that. Same physical standards, pleanty oif strong females.
Still have the sex problem, mixed showers probably no conducive to good dicipline, but probabkly fun.

sidewayspeak,

Mass conscription? Has the last 72 years passed you by completely?
Even if there were to be mass conscription and someone had managed to uninvent the nuclear bomb and ICBM's and SLBM's, how on earth do you reach the conclusion that we would somehow have 50/50 male/female infantry units? Mind boggling...

Basil,

Your mate in the pub, the one with the strange opinion of what women are attracted to, is either living in a strange deluded world of fiction, or has just maybe never spoken to a woman?

Must be something in the air this week!

I find it telling that you and your friend want to stereotype women as being all the same.

You are, of course, talking utter drivel.

Ah, another great pundit speaks. 2231? Been at the sauce?

ps: "stereotype women as being all the same" No, just the raving feminists who, I may say, do not find favour with my wife either.
Toodle pip!

pps: If you read my posting again, in the cold light of day, you will see that I was reporting a comment by someone else.

I think that someone has been at the sauce, Basil. A very odd series of posts.

Mixed showers are not a discipline problem at all from the few occasions I have encountered them. In Belize in 1980s the other ranks shower block was open stall and used by both sexes. In Bosnia in the early 90s there was a mixed shower block in Gorni Vakuf (sp?) until the camp became more developed, and the Swedish garrison (where we stopped over) on the up country routes even had a mixed sauna. Everybody was generally far too knackered to care.

Well, not for them.

Reference removed. Inappropriate to make joke about couple in a spot of bother possibly occasioned by PTSD. Bas.
