I don't won't to nitpick but I think the title has one "as" too many (or too few). Shouldn't it be:

Are Feminists Delicate Flowers as the MSM suggests?

or

Are Feminists as Delicate as Flowers as the MSM suggests?

If you're going to nitpick, you should spell "want" correctly.

Every correction of another's spelling or grammar is accompanied by a typo of one's own.

The feminist women want it both ways - entitled to preference regardless of ability, yet deferred to on account of its lack.

Those wily females, I can never figure out what they want.

I noticed back in the 90s that many fictional TV shows that wanted to show the fitness of women for combat and law enforcement inadvertently showed the opposite, usually because they were aimed at a female audience. Like the MIT prof, they couldn't understand what doesn't look exemplary to men.

Can transwomen have authentic hysterics?

Will you be attending the Dodgers/Phillies game on Wednesday? The last time the Dodgers knocked the Phillies out of the playoffs was when Bill Russell singled home Ron Cey in the bottom of the 10th off of Tim McGraw's father. The run was unearned due to an error by the generally reliable Garry Maddox muffed a Dusty Baker fly ball with two outs

Since this series happened the Phillies have prevented the Dodgers from reaching the World Series three times

I'm not even in the military but I was bothered by his attack on "fat generals". I concede he knows more about the military than I do, but surely at the top level you can make some concessions to get the intellect you need for certain specialized tasks? No? It all comes down to how good everyone looks in uniform?

GAAAAAAA-AAAAAAYYYEEEEE!!!!!

When I think of fat generals I think of general burkhalter from Hogans Hero’s. I think he is loosely based on Hermann Goering who became known for being fat, corrupt and degenerate. As a side note the actor who played the actor (Leon Askin) lived to be 97.

The worst part is, Summers caved instead of fighting back.

I would say that the cited women's (Bobbie Scholly and Nancy Hopkins) reactions prove both Hegseth's and Summers' points. If women become physically ill when criticized or questioned, then they belong neither in the faculty lounge of the math or science departments or on the battlefield (new strategy for American enemies: make fun of women and they will all run away).
