Pentagon Covering Up Fact That Female Officers Nearly Sank Navy Ship
The article’s about the USS Fitzgerald letting itself stray into the path of a merchant ship resulting in a “radar-assisted collision”. Turns out the women officers on the bridge were unqualified, indifferent to their duty, in a snit and not talking to each other. Who could have seen this coming?
The pampering didn’t stop with assigning them to the bridge. For directly causing a collision where seven crew members were killed, “… Lt. j.g. Sarah Coppock received a punitive letter and will forfeit half a month’s pay for three months as part of her sentence, according to a Navy statement.”

    See also the Curie Hultgreen Syndrome.

    Symptoms include: promoting a woman over a better-qualified man for reasons of optics; insisting that men and women are interchangeable and can perform the same tasks at the same level of consistent quality; being willfully blind to any evidence to the contrary; and insisting on putting women in positions of responsibility for which they are completely and totally unsuited.

    I saw this a couple of weeks ago. You have to understand, women must be allowed to do these tasks for which they are not qualified to make up for their exclusion in the past. This is necessary to enforce ‘Women’s Rights’. They also insist gender is a social construct and not a real thing. The lack of logic and common sense makes my head hurt.

        Oh sure, use jute bags. That will really hurt and inconvenience customers when the leaky chicken from last week contaminates the bag with salmonella.

          “Because until it starts hurting and inconveniencing the customer, you’re not banning plastic at all.”

          Don’t you just love the way the leftist turns everything into a f–king re-education camp? :evil:

    I hope KG will remember, my previous comments, to the effect that women be “allowed”
    to attempt ANY damn job they wish to pursue, IN TRAINING, where supervision (at least in the military, in theory) would preclude injury/loss of life. If the INDIVIDUAL woman can do the job as required, just as the INDIVIDUAL man can, then by God, put her IN that job. If she proves unable to avoid the petty crap that distracted the female “officers” of the Fitzgerald, then dammit, take her OUT of that field, and let her fulfill her Oath-bound obligation shuffling papers (or today’s computer equivalent).
    I was ok as a helicopter electrician; COULD I have done as well in the infantry? Don’t know, but would have wanted the OPPORTUNITY TO TRY, in training. If I didn’t make the grade, well, ok, a little temporary heartbreak, but LIFE would go on, with the knowledge I WASN’T jeopardizing my fellow Marines. That’s infinitely more important than “proving” some STUPID feminist point.
