Has the once mighty Aussie Air Force become an aerial social justice warrior joke? Apparently it has, with new guidelines telling pilots to think of wymmyn and take a "gender perspective" when bombing the enemy.
Although destroying this target may provide a military advantage against the enemy, the second order effect may mean that, due to the gendered social roles, women need to travel further afield, on unfamiliar and less secure, well-known or well-lit routes to gather water and firewood.
Watch out, pilots, better not bomb the trans disco. In the meanwhile, good luck RAAF, maybe the enemy'll die laughing.
I'm off to see if the fish are biting after a weekend of global cooling deluge. We can but hope.

More senseless rules of engagement.
"feel good" rules. If it gets a few airmen and soldiers killed, why that is the price of reining in the patriarchy.
So blame the pilot no matter what. They might as well all resign right now.
I hear Justine Trudeau forces all the male pilots to wear women's undies 24/7 so that they are mindful of the plight of various genders. Alright I don't know that for a fact, but I'd bet it crossed his mind.
Well, No One beats the US fighter pilot. Unless its the now deceased J McCain we're talking about.
May be someone will invent a Gender-specific bomb? Given its Australia, perhaps they should designate male Gender-specific ordinance "Bruce", female Gender-specific ordinance "Sheila" and non-binary Gender-specific ordinance "Lez"?
The Aussies have had more aircraft than aviators for quite some time now. It seems that smart young potential aviators have found other (better) things to do. And who can blame them.
NAPALM STICKS TO EVERYONE. It's not one of those things that discriminates based on race, faith (or lack thereof), national origin, gender orientation or grievance. You can stand there, middle finger raised to the aircraft, and the napalm will still consume you. Somebody needs to tell the Aussies that.
Jim, I get the feeling that they're betting on never actually going to war.
We must all make sacrifices, WSF.
I think they're understaffed as is, Linda.
Kid, Justine's in a bit of trouble. How long will the rainbow premiership last?
Didn't know Canada had an airforce.
What an excellent idea, Anon. The GSO munition!
LL, I'd recommend the Aussies employ WWM Consultancy on that score, but would they hire?
