I think most of us know that the modern college/university campus (and not just the "liberal" ones, either) is a very strange place, not merely "set apart" from the rest of society but rejecting it and denouncing it, frequently to the point of hysteria.

How can women join special forces when they can’t even handle frat-boy pranks?
It was just a matter of time before the successful Navy SEAL operation against Osama bin Laden on May 1 provoked a complaint that SEAL teams are all-male.

Not only has the rise of women to positions of power and control in American society not dented feminist irrationality, it seems to have exacerbated that irrationality.
Two of Holmes’s sources concede that female recruits trying to join special forces would have to be held to the same physical standards as males (a hollow admission, given the lowering of physical standards in fire departments across the country to accommodate women). But mental stamina is just as important to a special-ops team member, who needs the fortitude to withstand threats, verbal and physical abuse, and possibly even torture—and that’s just in boot camp.
