New Aircraft Carrier Has No Urinals. Is the Navy Stronger 'Gender Neutral'?

Who needs a damn urinal anyway just hang it out in the wind and hope your not facing into the wind when you go

The genders should never have been mixed. It has caused lots of heartache and multipal rapes.

who is to say that it didn't happen before the navy let women in...I mean, why do you think they used to have names of the seats of their pants...so they knew the name of the dude they were pucking up the arse. sorry, my dad (AF) told me that one time. he knew a lots of anti-navy jokes...he learned most of them from his navy friends!

Just when I thought they couldn't get any dumber ... !

Is our navy peeing sitting down now? They may get caught in battle with their pants down.

Why can't women who want to run with the guys be trained to pee whilst standing? I hear that there is a curved funnel-shaped diverter that women should be made to carry that enables them to piss like a man.

Hello sinks.

I am relieved (so to speak) that I'm not the only one to think it.

lol

Omg...

Neither. Why would one base the ability of the navy to perform based on whether there are urinals or not? both sexes are properly accommodated already. Does your house have a urinal? Both men and women can use toilets.

Plain effing stupid. When the time comes, at least the tile job will make for some dandy shrapnel if nothing else.

Women have no business in the military!

You're not a woman, therefore you have no business concerning whether a woman should be in the military or not.

That's stupid, I am a woman an plane to join the army. I disagree completely with you.

A woman does not remove a man's civil rights, therefore a man can not remove a woman's. You also have no good reason for your assertion. You can not justify your misogyny.

There was a time when I would agree with you, even though my wife was also in the military. I once witnessed two officers and a CPO (3 women) locked in a power struggle in the absence of the boss and they all ended their "conference" in tears. Two were good at barking out orders, even outrageous one, while one zero, (slang of officer) was a ditz.

While some tasks must remain men only for the mission, women have show to be indispensible in situations where no man could succeed. Hats off to the women who have served in harms way since 9/11.

As for the retired or late CPO named Kitty, you are or were a setback for good women who try and succeed under difficult circumstances everywhere in the military. Knowing you for most of your career and my wife knowing you longer, you wasted a lot of people's time, patience and friendships!

Well, in Israel, they don't think that way... It has worked for them, didn't it?

You can't go by them-there jews!

When is the military not the military? When the Govt. decides they are test subjects

Is it a military to destroy and deter our enemies or a social experiment?

From now on, all men in the Armed Forces MUST piss in a seated position only, so as not to appear as they are superior to women. Anyone caught pissing while standing shall be subject to disciplinary action.

I wonder how they're going to write that into the UCMJ........

If you want to truly go "gender neutral" then set the same physical requirements for BOTH sexes to meet. Why is it that women have lower physical requirements to get into the army? It's a life or death thing.

There are very successful armies with applied women in combat.

Answer me the simple question of why the physical requirements are lower for women than men. They should be the same for both sexes, and measured by expected combat efficiency.

Change the bathrooms but keep women out of combat---yea that makes sense

War on Women my ass

Heh, so they'll just have to leave the seats up.

JUST LIKE HOME....REMEMBER TO PUT THE SEAT BACK DOWN!

men NEED their own "heads" women NEED their own "head"..............ARE THEY PLANNING A UNISEX HEAD ?? They only need a few of them for space reasons, aftyer all how many people need to go at the same time?

half time at the superbowl? About 125,000,000

they can pee in the sea anyhow so what do they need urinals for???

You've never been to sea on a massive ship -With the wind howling you'll be wearing urine...just make sure you keep your mouth closed when you go.

Right on ... spent a couple of years on a carrier ... never was dumb enough to try it into the wind ... the uris worked fine.

whenever I pee outside I always take care to have the wind in my back

The wind is relative to the direction of the vessel...... means you'll be pissing on the deck and the Master at Arms will tie your pecker in a knot for ya.

So when's the last time we heard anything about the freakin' Dutch Navy? You guys still got any ships?
