Feminist Professor Tries To Weasel Her Way Out Of The Draft. #Fail #DraftWomen
When the combat exclusion for women was lifted in January 2013, I was very happy, as a woman and as a feminist. Women who volunteer to join the armed forces should also have the right to volunteer for infantry, armor, and artillery occupational specialties, given physical standards will remain high and bar both men and women who are not qualified for combat. In other words, if a woman has chosen this path and can meet the standards, why would we deny her the right to fight for her country? There is no reason we should take this choice from her.
Well, cupcake, women actually can’t meet the standards, but you whiny, hysterical shrews have convinced the Marine Corps to risk the lives of their male soldiers to appease your futile and dangerous attempt to compete with real soldiers because otherwise you’ll cry.

Praise Of Hundred-Petaled Rose Underscores Gender Inequality
Simple facts about expected lifespan and being murdered, to say nothing of reproductive rights, matter little in public discussion of gender inequality. The public meaning of gender inequality depends mainly on imagination. That’s why it’s important to study poetry.In sixth-century north Africa, the man poet Luxorius wrote eloquent, insightful Latin poetry. Consider his poem entitled In praise of the hundred-petaled rose {De laude rosae centumfoliae}:
In praise of the hundred-petaled rose
This one, I think, the golden sun has colored with its own rising
or has wished to be one of its own rays.
But well-known as Cypriot’s hundred-petaled rose,
into it all the blood of Venus has entirely flowed.
This is the star of flowers, this is the nourishing Lucifer over the fields,
its fragrance and hue merit the honor of heaven.
{De laude rosae centumfoliae
Hanc, puto, de proprio tinxit Sol aureus ortu
aut unum ex radiis maluit esse suis.
Sed si centum cum foliis rosa Cyridos extat,
fluxit in hanc omni sanguine tota Venus.
Rape Equality
By : Sexual assault, especially rape, is an epidemic–barbaric, damaging to mind, body and soul, and intolerable. The time has come to take bold action to stop it. If fresh thinking and a systematic approach can eliminate various diseases and improve the quality of our lives, then it is not unreasonable to think it can be applied here. Along with better education–which Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai once suggested is “a solution to all problems”–it is conceivable that this threat can be eliminated.Before discussing what needs to be done, it is necessary to understand how a gendered lens has influenced and, unfortunately, distorted perspectives. For most people, the word “rape” conjures up imagery of a helpless young female being held down and forcefully penetrated by a male assailant, a brutal and often bloody act, provoking empathy for the victim and disgust for the attacker. This perspective has been reinforced by the media and the arts, as well as by those who might be characterized as rape culture enthusiasts.
Generally speaking, the sociology of sexual assault has been under the purview of feminists, long regarded as the decisive scholars and dominant voices on the subject, since the 1970s.
