I don't think women should be in combat. Mixed-gender troops perform more poorly than male-only troops, & female soldiers experience 6x more injuries, which costs lots of time & money.

I don't think that exclusion is sexist oppression but rather a matter of physicality. People with flat feet are not allowed in the military on the basis of their flat feet. Is that oppression against people with flat feet? If flat feet can be considered reason for exclusion, so can having a female body.

Females could effectively wield a weapon but what happens when their weapons are stripped from them? They’re much less able to defend themselves due to massive differences in brute strength, which barely overlap (i. e. most of the weakest men are stronger than most of the strongest women and untrained men are stronger than trained women).

Yes, flat feet are a medical condition and being female is technically not. However, being female is a physical condition (i. e. “the condition or state of the body or bodily functions”), which, on the basis of physical characteristics, I think could fairly exclude someone from combat.

Men with 1 or 0 testicles are also excluded from combat. Wouldn’t it be equality to also exclude women from combat on the basis of having zero testicles? Especially since testicles, and the accompanying testosterone they produce, are what makes a man have enough brute strength & aggression to be more psychologically and physically suited for combat.
In this vein, women can be allowed into combat if they have 2 testicles (trans women have testicles, so it's possible), just like men.

Just a note that this does NOT make women inferior!!!
Rather, men and women simply have different functions! Is an eye superior to an ear, or vice versa? No, they just have different functions!
Women are superior at peacemaking. This is what we should do.

So, after the massacre in Orlando, people are questioning gun laws and whether or not we should have stricter gun control. There's a quote that many people have been using in order to say that people are at fault for all the death and destruction. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Lil' Kim is notorious for changing her looks. From the 90's to now, she is almost unrecognizable.

This her before she got all of that work done...
And this is her just this year. She looks like a completely different person. She doesn't even look black anymore...


This question is basically an experiment on beauty standards and attractiveness. Which Lil' Kim
Looks better to you?

I don't really have a strong opinion regarding this issue.
I think having a gun is good to protect yourself if needed in extreme cases BUT it does seem somehow that guns are bringing more crimes than anything else?

I understand that guns are part of the American heritage , culture and identity (with the whole cowboy and sheriff thing) but it seems like there are many shootings and gun crimes there (maybe it's just being blown out of proportions by the media, I don't know)
What are your arguments?

I'm asking this after reading the news this morning, about this singer who was shot during her concert today or yesterday : Christina Grimmie (22 years old).
