My main disgust at the fake article though, was that it was more like a taunt. "Women will never be in subs. NAH NAH NAH" It's one thing to have those reasons and use them as an excuse in case it ever comes up, but to just rub it in their face like the fake article does, it's insulting.

W, have women actually been in Space up to 6 Months. If there average time in Space is about 30 days, I don't see a problem or the comparison.
Now, I do like the idea of an "All Female Crew" on a Sub as long as there is no chance that any of them could get pregnant while at shore.
What would happen if just 1 lady actually came aboard and was not aware she was pregnant? I realize in most cases, women do not give birth in 6 Months but what kind of condition do you really think she would be in, say after 3 months.
Very few guys can pass the psychological and physical testing required for Sub duty. Women go through a lot of changes, both psychologically and physically during the 9 Months. These are not things a Commander and Crew need to be worried about in a Sub. Being a Nuclear Sub just adds to the problems.
Of course, if H. Clinton should win (
), I'm sure it will be brought up and possibly tested though not implemented
