Now I understand why you have no problem sending your pregnant wife (or gf) to check out the noise down stairs at midnight.
I am married and a father to 10 months old baby. Call me old fashion, but you are a coward and should not call yourself a man if you allow your pregnant wife/gf to go fight a war or check out strange noise down stairs at midnight...on your behalf. Grow some balls or get rid of it.
Now if the Martians or Mongol hordes invade America and every man, woman, and children have to fight for survival. That’s different
I do not call myself a man. Never have, never will. What "it" should I get rid of?
Are you saying men have control of women bodies? Is that why women unable to tell men to wrap it up before he “went in”?
I wasn't aware that men aren't able to do anything unless women tell them to. I guess those same men can't pick up their paychecks unless a woman tells them to do it. Perhaps we should have more women in the military if men are this incapable.
Oh, regarding civilian men .... I guess you could prosecute them for destruction of military property.
-There are legitimate reasons concerning things like pain/safety/comfort that have nothing to do with "wokeness" for changing the hair regs, acquiring female body armor, and producing maternity flight suits.
-Doing so isn't going to "weaken" the military or be detrimental to any important part of the overall 'mission,' considering the military's infinite budgets and the ability for the military as a whole to focus on more than one thing at a time.
-There is more in the military for women (and men, for that matter) to do than 'go off to war and fight.'
Until very recently Army regulation did not allow female hair to be below 1/4 inch; bald or shaved heads on women were considered faddish and banned. So under the “No changes are allowed to be made to anything ever” way of thinking, women shouldn’t be allowed to have shaved heads.
They couldn’t shave their heads because the Army said no; the people who don’t like the idea of women being in the military are the ones who set the rule saying that they couldn’t shave their heads because “women are supposed to have hair and be pretty and them being bald isn’t normal.”
Women who have gone through stuff like Ranger School have literally asked to shave their heads for the same reasons men have theirs shaved: hygiene, ease of spotting ticks, so they don’t have to maintain it, and I imagine partly because they want to fit in a bit more, like esprit de corps.
Nice story but, does NOT address boot camp the cutting of hair. NOT talking about "shaving" their heads.

Russia and China are laughing out loud at the silly identity politics of the US military.
