No matter what this DoD "study" or the services will say, Hegseth has already told everyone he doesn't want women in combat arms MOSs. This is just a cover for Pete's social deconstruction of the military.

Pentagon will begin review of 'effectiveness' of women in ground combat positions
The review, outlined in a Pentagon memo obtained by NPR, comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told admirals and generals in September that women must meet the "highest male standard."

The gender studies coursework (and critical race theory) that I took in college and then law school has proved far more useful than many of my advisors at the time ever thought it would be.

hey, do you remember when Elon Musk allowed Dom Lucre - that Qanon influencer who posted CSAM - back on Twitter/X, kept giving him payments, and then the New York Times wrote a soft-focus piece about Lucre’s life?
For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok.
Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.
