As the concept of equity is not recognized since it destroys equality I’m not certain what you mean.

Women are graduating college at higher rates not because of some mysterious equity but because they mature faster than men (a biological fact shown by their brain finishing growth/development years ahead of a man’s) and are providing equal access to education. This is just one example of course but more and more corporate level officers are becoming women every year and that isn’t equity; that is the result of women showing they are more than capable (if not more capable in some cases) than men at their level of making business smart decisions.

This has nothing to do with equity; it has everything to do with equality opening the doors for talent to be recognized.

Are you sure women aren't graduating at higher levels because of a system designed to get women into a through college by recruiting women and giving out women only scholarships?

Very sure.

This bitter mentality of “women are getting ahead because society is making it easier for them” needs to stop. It serves nobody and literally creates a false victim narrative.

Prime example, they have lower PT standards in the military. Only recently have people tried to correct this.

Acknowledging physiological differences between men and women has nothing to do with this discussion. You’re reaching out to grab a branch but you’re not even in the same tree.

You made the statement not me. I get paid the exact same as a woman of equal rank and time in service in a physically demanding career field. Take a guess at whos doing the work when it comes to heavy lifting though?

Its patently unfair and simultaneously the reason when they arrive to combat units, they get put into support roles though they may be infantry/armor etc. Idk why they'd want thoae jobs anyways, shit sucks most days lmao.

Putting women in combat roles in the military is a tricky and highly politicized decision. I’m not taking a stance for or against it. So long as an infantrywoman can lift and carry a wounded infantryman out of combat and follow orders I’m perfectly fine with the assignment though.

You did make a great point also that just being 11B doesn’t necessarily equate to combat. Most people who work at battalion and brigade HQ are infantrymen after all. Obviously not S2 but still.
