women just play "navy", they play "army" they play their lives. they dont even realize theres a possibility theyll have to go to war.

I remember these articles a few years back, or perhaps it was a similar incident in the US. The articles covering it were heavily obfuscating any female involvement. As far as assigning blame, they found a nearby male to shift most of the blame to and women got a slap on the wrist. They're not going to censure the women after pushing them up the chain!

I feel sorry for them. As a male subjected to the horrors of being a male, I ignored it all. I never worried about keeping up. I just focused on what was the right thing to do, sometimes there where influences, and bias trying to sway me, but when I saw the right thing to do, I went for it, regardless of consequence. If I was wrong, I would learn (but I wasn’t)

Females go through a completely different train of thought (and I feel for them.) women can be presented with the complete logical right thing to do but answert, introduce doubt and they fall apart. Lol! If you disagree let me know.

Every girl I've worked with in automotive tech has failed beyond belief.

It's a long article with a link to an even longer article, but neither one covered the interview with some of the crew who reported right after the incident that the female OOW (Officer of the Watch) and another navigator, also a girl, were having a spat and were not talking to each other. I remember reading that interview just days after it happened, but I guess it's been censored since then.

Even the recreation depicts the bridge crew as being all male. https://invidious-us.kavin.rocks/watch?v=sXUf6B2wLtw

Men, by nature, choose high-risk, high-reward jobs.

Women, by nature, choose lower-risk, lower-reward jobs.

It's biology. Nature does not women taking risks. Men are expendable in nature. Women represent the survival of the species. Nature wants women indoors by the fire.

I'm not saying that women have it easy. At all. There's more than enough suck to go around, regardless of what's in your pants. But our fundamental construction and drives are different. We are built for purpose.

And we are not at the point in human evolution - and won't likely ever be - that this is changing. So, all we're doing is pretending.

Funny thing with that is even with extra incentives like more pay or leave options than men offered the same job, women still dont fucking want to do the jobs they didnt want to fucking do before.

I do a male job because I have to. It honestly sucks, hard work, long hours, it sucks. I don't understand women who choose this. And now I have to start my car, get my FRs on and go haul salty flammable water all day, on a fucking Saturday, so that other dumb bitches can play dress up and bitch about the patriarchy. But hey, at least I'm feeding my own kids and staying out of the ghetto.

Once is an accident.

Twice is a coincidence.

Three times is enemy action.

What are the odds of a series of comparable collisions between armed NATO patrol vessels and large ships?

Truthfully, there are a shitload of ships in the shipping lanes that NATO patrols - they are very very busy waterways.

Female incompetence aside, this is starting to look like enemy computer hacking.

Also, they no longer use human lookouts on NATO ships? The kind that could warn of an approaching vessel in all but the worst environmental conditions? Cutting costs on sailor salaries?
