Either women are tire of dealing with dumb arguments, or they are like the enemy are silent because they are preparing to attack. But being honest I lack the reproductive parts to know why women think, do, act, etc...

CPT Private RallyPoint Member I suspect that the female-to-male ratio on RP is not near 50/50

Because integration of women into all job functions affects men as well as women?

I'm sure there are still some people who do not have enough tact not to use this site as source for dating. Some of the women may not know it's there or they avoid it to prevent unwanted attention.

I think SN Wright provides the best answer.

Personally, I follow but tend not to contribute. The topic gets me fired up and I don't want to spew unprofessional hatred towards those I perceive as mysoginistic. Frankly, I don't read too deeply into the conversations either. When the "thems" and "theys" start flying, I've seen that many so-called leaders believe that my inability to perform X number of push/pull-ups somehow makes my honerable service less so than a male counterpart. #realtalk
