My point is that women are no less vindictive than men
I would agree that would make up an increasing part of modern warfare. Nevertheless someone’s still calling the shots, working out strategies. Only a certain type of person(usually male, ) would typically be suitable. Not saying a woman couldn’t do it, but you would be dipping into an even tinier, more shallow pool of candidates with women than men. Even most men are not suitable for those roles no matter how much training they get.
I think the main reason is most women lack a realistic understanding of violence, and how it works.I see this plenty of times with masculine lesbians, many female cops and most woman in the military. They just think you can ape the way a man behaves and that they will achieve the same results as a man. Its the same as a man who puts a dress and make up on and tries to act feminine, and expects people will believe he is a woman when its so obvious that he’s not.
What was your take on the female soldier in the video I linked?
Depends what your definition of what a soldier is. Obviously you can’t fight effectively without a host of support roles, transport, medical, communications, logistics, cooks etc. It wouldn’t surprise me if the number of non combatants to combatants was 10-1. You are still in the military, doing essential work, but are you really a soldier if you aren’t directly in a combat role?
I was having a conversation with a woman whose brother had just done basic training. Her friend said she’d like to join too, it would be a good career. I said to her “Do you think you would be suited for it”? She said “what do you mean”? I said “your business would be geared to killing people to win wars. Not everyone can do it, either physically or mentally, regardless of whether they are in a combat role or not”.
From her reaction both I and the women whose brother was in the army, could tell she had never really considered that was the role of the military. The first woman told the second woman"What did you think the army did?", and laughed.

I’ve heard the same figure and I believe it’s >10:1 which is why I don’t have a problem with this ad. The military tracks manpower very closely and knows what it needs, and it puts a ton of effort into understanding its target demographic. It’s also recruiting from a demographic that’s half the age of most of the people in this forum, so the fact that their efforts don’t resonate with the 30+ crowd is unsurprising. If the Army needed more machine gunners I trust they’d adjust their approach. Simultaneously, the Marines have kept a decent amount of badassery in their ads. Both branches feature prominently at the UFC. I think people are getting their underwear in a twist over nothing.
If you’ll indulge me one throwback, this is still the one that hooked me when I was ~8 years old: THE BEST - US Marines TV Recruitment Spot - Ever Produced - YouTube
@anna_5588 you seem like an honest woman. What do you think about this guy? He wants more women in power but is not giving up his spot.

Oh, that hypocritical, virtue signaling idiot.
If voting wasn’t such a public goods issue, he’d have been recalled long ago
You can think what you want, no law against it, yet. My personal experience doesn’t necessarily reflect, pretty much at all, the trends that do exist and are becoming ever-increasingly worse. I am concerned with the facts. And the facts indicate the degradation of the family unit, plummeting marriage rates and out of control out of wed-lock births. So I am interested in actual trends not your nor my personal experience with your girl. On that front, I hope you two are happy together and have a good and prosperous future together.

I haven’t denied this. I believe this is all true.
All I really care about is:
From the internet. Where else? These aren’t my claims and feel free to verify anything you want. It may not be $40 spot on, but that’s been the number used as an average for most discussions on the topic. So, the average cost of a hook-up in the US is between $20 and $100, feel better?
Then don’t care about it. That’s not the point.

Enjoy it while you can. The only men who do not have problems with women are men who do not date, or at least date women. Your day will come, it comes for us all, when you dream of being broke, homeless and sleeping on your friends couch. That day comes for every man…
I give you Bill Burr…
That’s the issue. I see many men are only talking about their own situation and social circles. There are even some whom I’ve referred to specific literature and studies on the topic, and then say they don’t believe it, without even reading what I suggested! Would people say the family unit as an institution is a mess and under attack for fun?

Under attack only applies a bit here. I have read on BLM’s website that they want to disrupt the traditional family, but I don’t think those views are shared by many. IMO, the traditional family is just somewhat less common. More to do with a changing environment, than being attacked.
This is totally inconsistent with all the research available and even with some that’s been written here. To start one can read The Garbage Generation by Daniel Amneus and Taken into Custody by Dr. Stephen Baskerville.
That’s because, legally speaking, binding yourself to someone else is about the worst thing one can do. Seriously, all the attorneys tell law students not to get married if they haven’t already. Many people are finally realizing this.
Heck, once my wife finishes law school we may get “divorced” just for the better legal stance.

Does this research have to do with how “attacked” is defined? I see “attacked” used a lot, usually around a decline in something. Not trying to start a debate here. I just haven’t seen any attacking of a traditional family, unless we count stuff like accepting LGBT as an attack.
No, there is no glossary with the word attacked in these books or studies, just as there is no glossary in most books for ordinary words, nor is the word attacked used as a synonym for declined.
I guess, how do you see it being attacked? I see some stuff being accepted. Things like not shaming people for choosing not to get married, or acceptance of LGBT. I just haven’t seen traditional family structure being attacked. More just acceptance of what isn’t traditional family, which I don’t think is an attack.
When men can be fleeced and have their kids taken from them for “no fault” or because a woman deems him “boring” and even be jailed because he cannot afford outrageous child support payments, and then kids are left childless, that’s an attack, outright aggression.
That’s a starter.
Perhaps you missed this above.
I’m currently reading a 300-plus page book by him on this attack by various means.
If you don’t see anything in all this, that’s fine. I have no gain by trying to convince you. Anyway at the end of the day I can only be a great dad and socialize with other great dads.
