Fair call.

I can say from experience that with a woman around (even one their mother's age), I never had to pull any of the guys up for dress, bearing or forgetting to shave. Few stupid pranks, too.

But it was also true that they were less team-oriented with a woman around, and underperformed relative to when there wasn't.

I have a very unique perspective on this since I was one of the last soldiers to go through a traditional all male basic. It makes it a lot harder to deny what I'm saying as valid, at least when I argue this with others.

Right, cuz the Greek city-states had such short lives.

Sarcasm aside, it's really not hard to set up something like this, it's just not really done legally when da gubment wants a cut and to control everything.

As a soldier who served next to quite a few female soldiers, and as an open sexist:

I detest females being in the military.

1. They are the biggest distraction.

2. They cause unnecessary drama everywhere they are. Men fighting for their attention, men fighting over who gets to sleep with them, pregnancy, abortions, and the male tendency to save women is also a significant battle risk.

3. Obviously less physically capable.

Some of the best soldiers I served with were females, too, but, I'd still prefer to have none.

I was in a strange place in my stint. I was in the last basic training that was strictly all male. The stark contrast between that environment and the rest of my time around females of all ranks and MOSs (jobs) was completely different. I behaved differently. I am a "big brother." I felt obligated to shield and protect females in a way that I would never consider as correct for a fellow male soldier. I would have readily disobeyed orders in order to protect my friends, if I thought that was the correct thing to do, and, again, part of that was the male drive to protect females.

Pulling a trigger remotely doesn't protect you from trauma. We should not be traumatizing our women like that. It sucks for the men, too, but, it's not the same. So, my unpopular opinion is that they're should be no females in the military. Period. Full stop.

Without the need to build ships, which is really hard. LOL

Theoretically, that could work. Nostr already has clients for retail, news, and obviously other communication-related purposes. 🧐
