U.S. Army Special Operations Command, in a lengthy study, reported a wide range of “overtly sexist” comments from male soldiers, including a broad aversion to females serving in commando units. The comments, it said, are “not outliers” but represent a common sentiment that women don’t belong on special operations teams.

“The idea that women are equally as physically, mentally and emotionally capable to perform majority of jobs is quite frankly ridiculous,” said one male commenter. Others said they’d quit before serving on a team with a female, and that serving in such a situation it would create problems and jealousy among their wives.

      Pay is still abysmal, and importing workers from poor countries or forcing young people to work in that sector is peak capitalism.

          But that would mean I would need to look up data and educate myself, and then my pointless ramblings look silly!

          I assume you’re not German, and unable to perform a basic web search for news etc in German? Please confirm so that I can tell you what to search for.

                It’s impossible for you to show me that pay for those sorts of jobs are abysmal in Germany? I doubt that.

                  Of course the burden of proof is with whoever disagrees with you, you never have to show any proof for your claims. If you don’t even know how to find their pay, why do you claim they are not underpaid?

                    I didn’t make the claim, you did. You said pay was abysmal. Now you’re refusing to back that up and trying to gaslight me into saying I was the one making the claim.

                    Use those budding google fu skills of yours to look up what a burden of proof is, and while youre there “how to argue in good faith”.
