This photo of my future wife Karen is from her ancient Yale ID card. It was taken in 1971, her freshman year. The same photo was mounted and framed, along with similar photos of all the other members of the Class of 1975 in Berkeley College, and hung in the Common Room on the wall opposite the Dining Hall.
As you might expect, male Yale undergraduates not infrequently passed the time perusing the four Class Photo Displays, rating each of the young ladies on attractiveness and desirability. (Karen typically came in first in 1975.)
So I was not in the least surprised to read that male submarine sailors were in the habit of rating the respective appeal of their feminine shipmates, now that the US Navy has succumbed to political correctness and foolishly sexually integrated subs. What would anyone expect?
The lying propagandists of the journalistic left sensationalistically refer to the sailors’ ranking of feminine charms as a “rape list,” despite no reference therein of any kind to rape. I suppose they have to. How else would they be able to puff up perfectly natural, and to some at least, complimentary, male behavior into an aggression of some kind, a threat to the womens’ “safety,” and a scandal meriting a 74-page investigation, the discharge of two male sailors, and firing a captain.
“The sexually explicit list describes various USS Florida females by appearances, characteristics and various sexual acts the creators of the list wish to perform with them,” the investigation states. “The list describes aggressive sexual activity, but does not reference non-consensual acts.”
The sub’s commander got fired for failing to respond to complaints from goofy feminists with immediate inquisitorial proceedings. Doubtless, the unfortunate captain thought there were more important priorities on a warship than catering to the amour propre of the hyper-sensitive and easily offended. Clearly, today’s Naval High Command did not agree. Admirals in the Pentagon these days worry less about anti-submarine missiles and depth charges and more about the incredible destructive power of identity politics and crusading journalists.
The whole appalling story is at Military.com.
Donald Trump ought to re-instate those two sailors and the wronged captain, shit-can everybody involved in the investigation including especially the initial complaintants, and issue an Executive Order ending the presence of females in combat units, including warships.

The last paragraph says it all. Anyone who actually believes women can compete with men in combat units has never been in a combat unit. The first thing that must be thrown out is physical standards. Reduce the time to complete a run, reduce the weight of the pack and gear. Otherwise women simply can’t do it. The marines are right now deep in a scandal where training requirements are clandestinely reduced for females to get them to pass the tough training regimens. DI’s have been kicked out for questioning or exposing this issue. The generals are or have to be in favor of it and anyone not toeing the line will pay the price. But down the line the men will pay the price when they do encounter combat because someone will have to take up the slack for the women.
IMHO what the president should do is require women register for the draft. Either they can do the job and should be required to do the job just as men are or this farce should end. I am pretty sure drafting 18 YO girls out of high school will be a wake up call to Americans and they will put a stop to it. And if they do, then so be it, let them go to war and we will see how that works for them.

The Donald is besieged by the Democrats, RINOs, Liberal Judges, Media, Social Media Giants, and undergoing a protracted coup attempt. With all that you want him to fight the feminine converged military command structure? He is the proverbial boy with his finger in the leaking dike. Be happy with what he is delivering and remember although he is a patriot he is not a conservative given his history and not an intellectual reading & reflecting on needs to be done to save the nation.

Traditional justice – innocent until proven guilty, jury of your peers, evidentiary rules, right to face your accusers, no double (or more) jeopardy, etc., is completely incompatible with modern “identified special victim class” grievance theater.
