do u think its dumb that women cant be in the navy SEALS?

Question

i do we have just as much endurance and strength as a lot of guys ....

Answer 1

I think that women are just as capable as men for dealing with pain and playing the head games. You can torture men and women just the same both can be made to have sex against their will. The real aspect that women can't meet are the brute strength requirments. I am sure there are a few women in the world that can make the training but the other 99.8% of women in the have no chance at it. If you say that men are superior in handling pain and the such why do so many women give childbirth with no drugs? A persons ablility to withstand pain and the mental strain of different things is more a function of their upbringing and genetic predispostion to such things than gender.

Answer 2

If a woman could actually do what a SEAL does I would be impressed, the thing is women DO NOT have the upper body strength to carry out missions. Our elite warriors need to be at the top level and to have a lower standard just so a woman could be a SEAL would be detrimental to the Team and this Nations security.

There is not a 100 lb woman that can pull out a 200 lb man. It isn't as if the rest of the military is closed to women, but our top warriors just a bad idea.

Answer 3

As an army medic and combat veteran (in a unit with men and women) I feel confident telling you that women have no place in front line combat positions. The reasons are the same as most of those already posted. Men are larger and stronger naturaly, we have a more aggresive tendency (it has to do with testosterone, you really can't understand) even if a woman were of equal size as a man the man will be stronger and more capable of carrying heavy loads long distances (we have denser muscle and bone and our pelvis is designed to walk and carry, not pass children through) I know this sounds harsh but they are all the facts, there are many jobs woman are good at, many that they are better at than men, but to say that woman are capable of being good at ALL/ANY job is simply untrue and would place an unfair burden on the women involved.
Why are there no women in the NFL or NBA, if they were truly equal physicaly shouldn't there be a few who could make the cut? No, if there were women capable of playing at that level, there would be. The elite special forces are no different (actually much harder) than that.

Answer 4

Before I say anything let me tell you that I am a female military member and I used to think the same thing, before I joined... but I don't anymore!

Endurance and strength have nothing to do with the reasoning of not having females in the special forces, infantry units, and submarines. You have to look at it from at it from a combat prospective. If a man gets shot and a women gets shot... who would the others be more apt to help... most likely the women! It's human nature! The men in the special forces go out on missions for weeks sometimes months at a time... the only other human beings they have seen are there buddies and the enemy... now throw a women in that mix, what do you think would happen? I am not saying that it would, but there are increased chances of sexual harassment, sexual assault, even rape from men in her own unit. The military would never take that chance!!
Females will never be considered for special forces, and they never should!

Answer 5

No I don't think it's dumb. Women are NOT as physically strong in most cases and can and will be a liability at some point. I know that I'm pretty strong for a woman but there is NO way that I could carry a man who'd been injured....especially if he couldn't help himself at all. There are some things that shouldn't be changed in the name of equal rights. And by the way.....it's tough to be a SEAL even if you are a man and a lot of strong guys can't cut it.


I just had to add something to what Marc said.....my husband is army infantry so he's always having to do all the ruck marches etc. One day I was teasing him about how he was complaining about having to carry all that weight and I was like well I could do it...hahaha. ....(I honestly was just kidding)...anyway he put his pack on me and just wanted me to get down the hall with it. I took one step and fell backwards and ended up stuck like a turtle on it's back! It's not only heavy but it's sooooo bulky it makes it hard to move.

Answer 6

In what world are we as strong as men? We have equal or superior intelligence & endurance but not strength. As a woman & mother I have to say no women should not be Navy Seals, Army Rangers or etc. They are special forces for what they can endure even if caught, there are things that can be done & denied to women.

Answer 7

I have done reconnaissance and surveillance operations as a Recon Marine in conjunction with Navy Seals and Marine Scout Snipers. If you are going into a 5 or 6 day operation, your pack is going to be anywhere from 80 to 150 pounds (food, water, radios, batteries, ammunition, weapons). If you have to hump in from a few miles out, and extract the same way, its not sexist to say that you are going to need a team of men to do it. Every special forces outfit in any branch of service is going to have to pull duty like this, its not all glory like it is on TV and in the Movies. Even the most bas-assed Navy Seal on the most elite team there is, has probably had to carry 120 pounds through 10 miles of mud or over sand dunes before. While I was in, my legs were like tree trunks, and it still sucked, every time. Maybe 1 in 50 women could bear the physical burden of this duty, it sucks, I promise.

Answer 8

Its not about endurance or how strong they are.I mean if you hear
of a man in the Navy Seals getting captured and tortured to death it is sad news and people will be sympathetic.If it was a woman its not the same.It just seems wrong for a woman to get into that.I mean thats just me.Woman dieing on the Battle Field just seems a litttle wrong then a man dieing.I do think that long range combat or Airforce is good as well as nurse or the person who launches missiles on artillery but close combat and actual fighting on the front line seems a little wrong.Yes woman have rights but its just unmoral for a woman to die fighting like that.

Answer 9

I don't doubt that there are maybe a hanful of women who can qualify for the Seals, but their number is so small, it is not even worth allowing women into the program to waste the training time involved.Being a seal is not only physical, it is also mental. Even some with previous combat experience drop out.

Answer 10

females see men as resources. They objectify men interior the context of their willingness or skill to grant both genetic resources or monetary resources. at the same time as a lady says that the purely element that concerns about a guy is his personality, what she really skill is that she's putting extra value on his skill to be a monetary source. at the same time as females locate themselves enchanted through what seem finished imbeciles who're addicted to potential, they are going to use very almost any excuse for doing so if the guy is an outstanding source of manly genetic fabric that ought to provide her an outstanding searching infant (in spite of his violent personality.) the actuality is, male behaviours confuse females. that is because the female mind can't manage the complicated form of diverse male mating thoughts and strategies to females. while, females have a tendency to have purely one mating approach...positioned on lots of make up and flow on a nutrition routine. Which sex is the better one? it really is females, and women undertaking their simplicity onto men at the same time as it contains the mating sport. They accuse men of being the straightforward, stupid creatures purely to locate themselves stuck up in some very sensible and sophisticated mating thoughts. through ways, you're a finished fool for asking question which invokes a sweeping generalization and then inquiring for forgiveness interior the fashion "do not get your panties in a knot." possibly you are able to exclude your self from the sensible complexity of maximum male behaviours.
