Schlafly: ‘Girl Marines’ Make Us Look Weak
Actually, what makes us weak is inane attitudes about women. Schlafly was reacting to the Marines delaying pull-up requirements for women.
In her radio commentary on Friday, the Eagle Forum founder declared that “women in combat are a danger to themselves and also to the rest of the unit” because “lowering our strength standards sends a message to the world that our military is not as strong as it used to be, and that it’s more important to appease the feminists than to ensure the strength of our forces.”
“Our enemies are tough, strong, vicious men ready to fight to the death, and we need real men to fight them, not girls who can’t even do pull-ups,” she added.
