Seems obvious there is no real depth to the anti-woke stuff, they just saw "women" and thought "bad" ... it was written by Noem and signed into law by Trump (and sponsored by Rubio in the Senate). Drunk-ass Pete is on social media calling it a "Biden initiative." https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/29/hegseth-women-peace-and-security-program-00315226
The not always right, but always insightful and entertaining Peter Zeihan just dropped a walking vid on this today: tl;dw: on the points of the OP: PZ points out that: - most of the rest of the world has women fighters in the field - women can even do somethings better (fighter pilot?) - less than 1/3 of the US is made up of straight white guys. Can't build an army if you're only targeting that sub-section. He goes over much, much more - if you have 9 mins (watch at 1.25x)
It’s hard to read his writing. The way he capitalizes things mimics his mannerisms when he speaks. He does that stupid lean-in and bounce up on his toes to stress a word.
Soooo, I guess Wonder Woman, General Okoye and Black Widow would not be welcome in the Trump Metaverse?
A good article on the racism and misogyny that appears to be behind Hegseth's decisions to eliminate generals and other top officers in the U.S. military. The one thing that Hegseth will not explain under any circumstances is why he is firing these particular military leaders. But, a large number of them are black and/or female. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/05/25/pete-hegseth-generals-purge-seth-moulton-00360166
