Women sailors on submarines?

Hang on.

In the abortion threads republicans just tell people to keep it in their pants.

To say women shouldn’t serve on submarines?

That’s part of it.

But note that the issue complained about in the article was nothing more than a list.

Just like the internet is saturated with similar lists as part of normal internet content. Just like the objectifying of women we encounter at any level of normal social participation – advertising, entertainment, common reading literature (supermarket checkout racks), etc.

Actually, they did. Nobody complained about sexual contact. Only about a list.

Then what does this mean?

“But should anyone be surprised? Guys at sea. Let’s immerse females among them!”

“Only about a list”.

So how does that tie in with “sex saturated culture”?

Are the seamen not grown ups?

Any place I’ve ever been a new hire, the sexual harassment policy was clearly explained. Matter of fact, since the United States Armed Forces are a government employer, having worked myself for the V A, the policy regarding conduct that can be construed as sexual was so emphasized that a particular benefit that would have been of use—public transit vouchers—was not mentioned in the New Hire Orientation.

IMO A majority of men & women in the workplace don’t conduct themselves in such a manner. And the small percentage who do probably would lack that sense of boundaries regardless of the culture.

I shouldn’t be surprised you’d be confused.

Your snark I replied to does not apply unless you can demonstrate that they didn’t keep it in their pants.

You’re the one that actually typed that. Would you like to explain to us what you meant by it?

Boys will be boys.

But men should be men.
I would hope that the fellas on our submarines were men and not boys.

Maybe I wasn’t clear.

The sailors’ list is a lot like the lists in the sidebar click bait ads accompanying the article (or just about any new article.)

“Us” ??

Pick nits with someone else. And you know I don’t comply with your demands (even if you couch them in the form of “questions”.)

You could have just said you didn’t want to explain the actual sentence you typed.

Now, is abstinence the solution in the military just like it is in the abortion threads?

Love the way you leave the abstinence part out.

Stuck?

Did the seamen complete their intended mission or did this stupid list get them pulled out to port?

The articles I’ve seen on it don’t say. The reports are just concerned about offense.

Some sailors got kicked out. Article says that the guy who was in charge lost his job. But I didn’t pick up anything about the results of the mission. (Or if there was any particular mission under way.)

Interesting that abstinence is the only option to not have abortion…

But not an option for members of the military…

Somehow civilians are supposed to be more disciplined and have more accountability than membera of the military…

And pointing out such hypocrisy is considered trolling…

If anything, it does provide further evidence that those that refuse to acknowledge this duplicity should not be taken seriously…

SixFoot · 2019-05-20T20:13:48.828Z

If this impacted their mission, I hope they all burn under an Article 15.

If this didn’t impact their mission, I hope they toss everyone of those little ■■■■■■■ off that boat.

Yeah, he is stuck. He didn’t realize that one sentence in the OP was gonna be so revealing.

Nemesis:

Doesn’t matter the situation put men and women together and sex will happen. Heck look at prisons, many men in prison will have a gay relationship even if they are not gay.

The need for sexual contact is hardwired into our very DNA and its ridiculous to expect humans to deny that.

You are absolutely right. And on the submarines, it’s not just men lusting for women.

CaughtInTheMiddle · 2019-05-20T20:53:41.658Z

abstinence just went poof.

Nobody said that.

Nobody, nobody, NOBODY. (But you.)

I work with women in a close environment on a daily basis.

It’s called personal integrity.

Don’t bother people.

You know the golden rule.
