You may wish to re-phrase that title to "the fairer sex"

"Weaker" is gonna catch you some flak almost assuredly.

Oh and this topic is not new.

What's the problem ?

I mean, if the 688's can't accomodate women on board, wait until those boats are scraped and the new generation of subs goes active. I suppose those new boats will be constructed to accomodate female sailors. And therefore this problem will be resolved once and for all.

And don't think its impossible. France up to now has had exclusively no female aboard nuclear subs (ssn's and ssbn's). But the new generation of ssn's (the Suffren class) is being designed in such a way to accomodate female crew members. And finally sex parity on subs will become a reality.

If the french can do it, you poor americans surely can do it too.

I dont have a problem with women on subs. But I also wouldnt want to see subs to go over a refit to suit the womens needs. These are machines of war where every "unneeded" addition is lowering it's efficiency or as that artsy guy from the movie 9. Rota said: "Tank is the most beautiful thing in the world. It doesnt have any extra lines in it." (or soemthing like that

).

I dare you to say that women are weaker to my GF's face, you'll get your ass kicked so hard. Then I'll come up and kick your ass some more because you tried to talk down my GF.

Women are the stronger gender, men are the weak ones.

That's why there are so many female linebackers in the NFL.

But I get your humor. Problem is, I'm old enough that a girl scout could beat me up.

My argument on this as said in the other thread, http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...3&postcount=15

If women aren't weaker than men, then why do they have lower physical requirements?

Very strong voice for the weaker sex of course. However, carry and deliver a human being....the weaker sex got us goats beat for sure.

STOP THAT!!! I'm in the library and people look at me funny when I start laughing out loud!

Personaly, I've always held ladies as being above all this.

Uh huh, well at least I'm not hen pecked

Would you mind if she joined the USN for Submarine enlistment?
Bet you'd think twice about that.

You can believe that women are the stronger gender if you wish but count me out as I've been on this earth 73 years to know better.

Don't get me wrong for I love women, it's just that that kind of war they were not intended for.

@Sailor Steve
Sorry about the typo.

But flak it is.

Hmm...well, I know several very effective ways of putting you below me. Most of them, however, end up with one of my knees in your rib cage and my fist in your face. Or your neck snapped, if you go down face first, but that's only if I *really* don't like you.
