Oh I didn't know that


That's a dick move


But besides that, why do people think he's a tnuc? He seems pretty cool, kind of a funny guy too (based on his ustreams)

wearing skrillex's actual phone number on his shirt at an event seems pretty tnuc-y to me.

But that could just apply to a tonne of people.

If so and so made good music, their music would be good.

It's not an unpopular opinion. It's not even an opinion at all.

unpopular idea then.

there

tautology not an idea.

This is now the "post your tautological tautology" thread.

I don't think women should be allowed to attend military service academies.

Do elaborate.

Let me specify: I don't think that they should be allowed to attend the SAME institution that men do, but they should still be allowed to serve.

Don't get me wrong, love da p00n as much as the next soulja, but just the standard gender interaction doesn't fit that environment. There's a certain monastic element to military academies, one that allows for what I consider a higher level of concentration on studies and professional development(an important concept considering the fact that we're training to lead people)

Granted, thanks to the ubiquity of the Internet and information technology in general, that monastic element that used to typify the academy experience has been permanently altered, but by eliminating a very blatant distraction, you can retain a sense of isolation.

Don't get me wrong, I treasure every opportunity I get to leave that place and act like a normal person(normal relationships included), but but I'd prefer if that gender interplay didn't exist within my "monastery"

Furthermore, the inclusion of females into academies about 30 years ago has created some seriously harmful stereotypes that I think have permanently affected the perception of female officers within the operational services. They're either the "butch, douchey, softball gurls" who are treated with immense disdain or the "academy sluts", who are treated with even greater disdain. These roles find ways to manifest themselves in the careers of female officers, often serving as rationalizations for failures of successes in terms of promotion.

I absolutely believe that females are capable of military service, but I think it would be for the best if for the duration of 4 short years, both genders separate themselves within their respective learning institutions.

I want to write more, but my thumbs are sore, so I'll wait for responses, if this post gets any

so should men and women not serve together in the field??? or is that different?

Different. Just saying that the developmental environments should be kept isolated.

would you not be faced with the same problems a few years down the line?

one thing you notice when you get older is that school is no different to work

adults are grown up children.

there's nothing monastic about military academies

Gotta admit I'm impressed, Devry. Was expecting the worst after seeing that original post, but that's actually a really well thought-out argument.

Do you really think, though, that gender segregation is the answer? It seems to me that the real problem with what you're describing is the extremely sexist prejudices of the males attending military academies, not any truly systemic issue. What you're saying is an argument that's been used by a lot of people as a weak attempt to mask their prejudices or to excuse those of others - "whites and african-americans shouldn't mix, racism and racial violence only exist because of integration" - rather than actually try to fix that bigotry.

Sure, segregation might fix the short-term problem, but that's completely ignoring the actual root of the issue.
