I get it, I know. I’d done it myself. What got my goat was the fact that they were suggesting removing any gender titles from basic training to (I’m paraphrasing here) “make the roles of male and female instructors more equal, and reduce any chance of one being offended at being mis-gendered.” Offended? Really? A USMC drill instructor…. A DRILL INSTRUCTOR… be offended? And I mean really offended, not the fake shit they put on to have reason to quarter deck or pit a bunch of sorry asses for some much-deserved IT.
I get your point completely, don’t get me wrong. It just smells to me like the woke mf-ers coming for the military to “remove gender roles.”
