Michael Coren: Women Shouldn't be Soldiers

I don't usually care what the Jabbasaurus SoCon Michael Coren has to say about anything.

Because he's such a religious reactionary and disgusting homophobe he doesn't deserve to be listened to or read. And besides his plummy accent makes me want to scream. Or call him a (s)limey ARSE-hole.

But even by his Jabba blabber standards this is the limit.

So Canada sacrifices another victim on the altar of equality.

Last week a young girl dressed up as a soldier died in the increasingly futile and pointless war in Afghanistan....But what on earth was she doing in such a place and in such a job?

Because there are few if any women who have the skills required to serve as a front-line combat trooper.

Yes, yes, yes, I know it's fundamentally anti-Canadian to say this but I'd prefer to articulate the views of the silent majority than hide behind some modernist fetish that places more importance on the myth of absolute equality than the safety of a girl who should be laughing with college friends rather than fighting theocratic madmen.

Gawd. When the Jabbasaurus farted that one they must have had to clear the building.

But of course he would say that. Because the religion ... superstitious nonsense he believes in, was invented by hairy desert dwellers to keep women in their place. You know.... in the tent, with the goats, barefoot and pregnant.

And all this grotesquely sexist article amounts to is the most naked and disgusting defence of the patriarchy I think I've ever seen.

When in fact women in front-line positions have the same skills training and physical requirements as the men. I know a couple of female soldiers who could whup most guys' asses. And being able to serve and die for your country is an important measure of equality.

OK. I know.The Jabbasaurus is a monstrous idiot. Yabba Dabba Doo.

But what's their excuse?

Oh boy. These ridiculous old men still clinging to their dinosaur world. Where women are too PRETTY to fight and die. And daddy knows best. Will someone please tell them that the Stone Age is over ? And we're not going back.

In the meantime I'll cling to MY beliefs.

Trooper Karine Blais is a hero.













And a feminist one as well.

Some Blogging Tories are real idiots eh?

And Michael Coren is an ARSE-hole....
