The latest dark twist (pun intended) that feminism and mandated diversity has brought to our new and unimproved armed forces is a flap over women’s hairstyles, as the Army Times reports. Black soldierettes are complaining that certain restrictions on America’s Amazons’ hairdos are “racially biased.” This will no doubt lead to the “leadership” of our New Model Army’s getting its panties in a twist trying to figure out how to placate the dissed Amazons who are complaining.
Looking at the pictures of the proscribed fashions, the regulations seem reasonable to me. Of course, if the U.S. armed forces were reasonable organizations suited to their stated purpose, no such regulations would be necessary.
