Pro-Con: Women On Subs?

Northerner: As one who was there when the warships were integrated, I hope they have plenty of legalmen and JAG reps available for all of the harassment claims being filed. And I am sure it is discriminatory, but it is a fact that a sub can be on patrol for upwards of ninety days (rough estimate). If a female becomes pregnant within a week or two of the patrol beginning, it could be three months before she could receive any prenatal care. And it is not the same as a female in a combat zone. She can be transferred out if she gets pregnant. On a sub, there really isn’t any way to do that without jeopardizing the mission at hand. There are disastrous things that happen when a ship gets integrated. I can only imagine how this will affect subs.

Megan_B: It’s not fair to ban women when you could just as easily ban men and have an all-female crew. You can’t favor one sex over the other, that is discrimination. If these men can’t be trained to manage their pee-pee’s urges, they need not be allowed. Simple as that.

Question: Who do you agree with — Northerner or Megan_B?
