You'll recall we wrote the other day about anti-masturbation activist who is now the GOP Senate candidate from Delaware. You might not be surprised that she's opened her mouth yet again. From VetVoice:
O'Donnell, when asked by the moderator whether taxpayer-funded, single-sex military institutions were constitutional, said:I think they're definitely constitutional and I think they're vital to the security of our country and to the defense of our country. By integrating women into particularly military institutes, it cripples the readiness of our defense. Schools like The Citadel train young men to confidently lead other young men into a battlefield where one of them will die. And when you have women in that situation, it creates a whole new set of dynamics which are distracting to training these men to kill or be killed. And these dynamics between men and women are what make the relationship between men and women beautiful. So I don't think that we should try to desensitize men to the differences.In response to a critique of sex discrimination by Hannah Olanoff of the National Organization for Women, O'Donnell replied, "It's an honor to be a lady. That's a beautiful part of womanhood is to be ladylike." She insisted that West Point "has had to lower their standards ... in order for men and women to compete." By lowering standards, she added, "we have reduced the effectiveness of our military."
