- The question is if they have an issue or not and what reason for not liking
- it they cite. People are asked to do all sorts of things they don't like in
- the military.
-
- The argument that it is to avoid having to force people to sleep or shower
- in the same room as other people who *might* look on them sexually is clearly
- fallacious. It is so because Clinton has stated that he is going to remove
- the ban against homosexuals in the US military.
-
- "Lets see, then we need four of everything.
- One compartment for male heterosexuals, one
- for females heterosexuals, one for male
- homosexuals and one for female homosexuals."
-
- "That won't work! The homosexuals might look
- on each other sexually!"
-
- "But if we put the female homosexuals with
- the male heterosexuals and the male homosexuals
- with the female heterosexuals?"
-
- "Nope, then the male heterosexuals might look
- on the female homosexuals sexually, and likewise
- the female heterosexuals might look on the
- male homosexuals!
- And we still have the problem where to put
- the bisexuals!"
-
- "Arrgh!!! Give everybody their own
- fucking cabin then!"
-
- "'fucking'? Was that a freudian slip,
- commander?"
-
- "<Grumble> Have we solved where to
- put the weapon-fetishists?"
-
- "The officers already have their own cabins,
- commander!"
-
- Yes, I'm being rediculous. I know I'm being rediculous. But I'm trying to
- point out that male-female segregated areas might be seen as rediculous too:)
