Pearl - Modern Women Becoming Infantry Is A Horrible Idea

00:00:00.000 what up guys welcome to my reaction series today we are reacting to one of the first women infantry

00:00:05.760 mortsmen talking about how women can't do the job um the same way men can so we're gonna watch this

00:00:12.440 podcast and let me know what you think in the comments like all those were like nothing you

00:00:16.240 know and in hindsight for me now who i am today and how much i've hiked it's like that wouldn't

00:00:21.340 have been anything for me right now but back then when i'd never put weight on my back and

00:00:27.680 walked 20 clicks like that's a lot i actually have a incredible picture of like i just got done with

00:00:35.060 my 20k that's the last hike that you do in itb before you go to the fleet that's like your you

00:00:41.860 made it um but i had these giant welts all over my legs probably about this big and then i had like

00:00:47.780 on my arms just from like the gear and like the pack and everything and um yeah that was really

00:00:54.700 tough um every all the other physical portions and stuff like that's fine it was just like the

00:01:00.340 hikes that were really just a shock that a lot of women don't realize when they join the military it's

00:01:04.700 like you hike and no one really knows what rucking is and like they don't know it's not like a nature

00:01:10.280 hike like you go and no no it's not really not it's the marine corps is not a no it's not apart no

00:01:15.740 like you put some serious weight on your back and you start walking for miles and uh and men do this

00:01:22.680 all the time but they don't get podcasts for it right but when women do something men can do and

00:01:27.500 when we do it even at a worse rate we get all this media attention that a lot of women don't realize

00:01:32.140 that you know right and you know what i saw in leadership positions when i was in the fleet i saw

00:01:37.540 a lot of hip injuries for females yeah our hips are just not meant to hold weight like that we're meant

00:01:43.680 we are literally designed to birth children and our hips are just different because of that so men's

00:01:50.340 hips they're straight to stack weight on top like it's just straight women's are curved to be able

00:01:55.500 to birth a child that's like you know it's that's why they get a lot of hip injuries because our

00:02:00.820 hips are just not meant to carry weight like that um and then the other hard part was obviously like

00:02:08.020 the scrutiny the uh the scrutiny that i got from my you know some some of the peers i had in itb

00:02:15.280 and then um you know like just yeah just some of the i've heard females in the military are kind of

00:02:23.440 slutty i'm not saying she was but you know that's the impression scrutiny it was not it wasn't super

00:02:30.700 terrible right for me um but i yeah it was there's always going to be scrutiny wherever you go i want

00:02:38.880 i want to really get into that so yeah when did you when you went to itb was there any scenario how

00:02:45.360 many females did you go through it was just me you were the only one i was you i've been the only one

00:02:49.760 for my career wow man that's crazy so have you been through a nasty breakup a false accusation or divorce

00:03:00.320 court hell our private university isn't just about self-improvement it's about protecting yourself as a

00:03:06.880 man we brought on legal child support officers legal experts to teach you how to defend yourself

00:03:13.840 before it happens reduce your risk arm yourself with knowledge go to pearl invite.com watch the

00:03:21.120 short video and apply because nobody is coming to save you but we can show you how to save yourself

00:03:28.480 we gotta stop with this these sips always gas them up i mean she's doing what the guys do do you feel

00:03:34.720 was it do you feel like there was a little bit of discrimination when you went to itb i think eyes

00:03:42.400 were definitely on me um you know i think oh my gosh any male dominated feel that you go into as a

00:03:52.320 woman like there's definitely going to be eyes on you at all times there was more discrimination against

00:03:58.560 me in the fleet than there was in the schoolhouse because you got to remember i was on the east coast in

00:04:03.200 the schoolhouse where they had females a lot more females yeah when you go to the west coast it just

00:04:08.480 happened recently that they started letting women do boot camp in the west coast so um i just don't

00:04:14.160 know why they're there let me see the other part she does so she talks about how female hips aren't

00:04:18.960 really meant to do that um let's see let me skip forward a little bit you're in such a safe healthy

00:04:27.280 community when you go into a place like this it's like going into like you know uh like a pack of

00:04:33.680 wolves like you know you're either gonna get eaten alive or you're gonna become one of them you know

00:04:40.400 so i just i think i was very um what's the word um i was just so like new and i didn't know a lot and i

00:04:51.760 didn't see some terrible things like the terrible things that guys could say or do and so when they

00:04:58.000 said those things like you also don't want to be the girl that was like you don't want to be labeled

00:05:03.920 you know like you don't want to be like i hate that yeah i hate that yeah you don't want to be

00:05:09.040 labeled like oh she's like one of those me too girls you know when it's not that it's just like

00:05:14.400 you're blatantly saying something disrespectful but you know so i didn't do that okay this is the thing

00:05:19.120 women feel the need whenever they're offended to do like oh my god it's hell on earth you will never

00:05:24.640 win against a scorned woman ever just let them win a lot in the schoolhouse i actually got an njp out

00:05:33.280 of the schoolhouse um really yeah because there was a rumor started about me that i was sleeping with

00:05:40.160 one of the other students she probably was and no proof nothing just one written um

00:05:48.400 uh what's the word uh it's like a statement one written statement given to the first sergeant and

00:05:54.480 all of the instructors jumped on that all the all of my instructors jumped on that um and uh then i was

00:06:02.400 just njp'd for it nothing happened to me so so for those of you who don't know uh article 15 is a

00:06:09.040 non-judicial punishment and essentially what it is is administrative reprimand for doing something

00:06:15.600 without being adjudicated through a court right you can they either suspend your rank it's documented

00:06:21.040 in your record it's like a slap it's bigger than a slap on a wrist because people would uh but i know

00:06:27.760 that had to be difficult for you just getting into you know passing boot camp going to the schoolhouse

00:06:34.400 did you feel like you were going to be kicked out from kicked out of the schoolhouse i was so new i

00:06:38.800 didn't know what that really meant i learned about it in boot camp a little bit but you know they just

00:06:42.400 like make you repeat stuff so you remember it you don't actually know what that means you don't

00:06:46.320 know anything so when that happened they didn't do anything except give me the njp i didn't get rank

00:06:51.440 reduction i didn't get cut in pay i actually picked up the next day now imagine if that happened to a man

00:06:56.800 if he got written up do you think it would have been the same as pfc um it was so bad i think they

00:07:06.320 just wanted to make an example out of women honestly uh in a way um because it was just like okay no so

00:07:13.920 when she says that i want like they want to make an example out of me she's saying i was treated like

00:07:18.880 men are and i'm not used to it thanks for the njp it didn't nothing happened to me like because they had

00:07:25.040 one statement from one guy saying that he thought he heard something that was the statement oh and

00:07:30.240 they njp the other guy as well um that was like the rumor was started about you know right um so uh

00:07:38.320 yeah nothing happened to me and when i got to my unit um my first sergeant at the time was just like

00:07:44.880 okay like well that's fine we don't care so uh i wasn't worried about getting kicked out or anything

00:07:55.280 because they weren't they didn't even drop me or anything they just i was like okay okay that's it

00:08:01.040 so now you graduated uh from itb and then what was the next step what did you go next and the next step

00:08:06.640 was um getting in the fleet i was originally supposed to be stationed on camp lejeune um but all 24

00:08:14.560 mortar men's orders got changed to go to 35 west coast because they were hurting for guys so bad

00:08:20.160 so i went over to 35 on camp pendleton in the 62 area near san clemeni um and yeah that's uh that's

00:08:29.120 that was the next step for me now let's let's really unpack this part right so you're the only female

00:08:35.200 what about now how many females are in um actually in your platoon me that's it i'm the only female

00:08:41.840 in my company right now the whole company the whole company and that's around 300 300 400 people right

00:08:48.320 it's pretty small right now just because we got just got back from deployment so people are leaving

00:08:52.880 easing numbers are thinning but okay let's see what else um and this is the thing uh let's talk about

00:09:00.080 sexual assault okay um the fact that my like senior marines you know your ncos uh they just didn't like

00:09:08.640 that i was there because male pride is real i think all pride is real like oh my gosh oh whether

00:09:16.320 it's male female like everyone has pride but especially men that joined the infantry um the

00:09:23.440 marine corps the marine corps infantry especially that pride is different right it's a way stronger

00:09:29.920 more protected pride and for me to come i think my ncos just almost were insulted that i was there

00:09:39.600 um because they were told by their ncos when they were junior marines that they would never get a female

00:09:44.560 that that would never happen and it did it happened and they hated that i was there and they didn't want

00:09:49.600 me there and so um they uh influenced my peers not to hang out with me and not to speak to me or talk

00:09:58.400 to me yeah so when women are socially rejected they can't take it men it's normal men aren't really

00:10:04.160 talked to like that um but the the challenge is the challenge you get is um women have a tendency to take

00:10:15.680 it more personal and seek vengeance not because they were scared that they were going to even on

00:10:19.600 liberty no i i was very alone for a long time i was very lonely um and uh so i didn't have any real

00:10:30.960 friends and even when i did make a friend i had one person say like i'm sorry i want to be your friend

00:10:36.480 but i just don't want to get in trouble so like i can't it's probably because they don't want a sexual

00:10:40.880 assault allegation talk to you anymore and so i was like well i guess i understand which you know

00:10:46.880 at the time i just i didn't know what else you know i was like so you're like in the barracks on

00:10:52.000 camp pendleton and then your off time you had really i mean what did you do the past time um i had

00:10:58.720 like maybe one friend that from itb that stuck with me um and you know he tried to spend as much

00:11:06.080 time with me as i could and you know i would try to hang out with people around the barracks and

00:11:10.320 stuff but i'd really just be on my own i'd work out and you know i'd watch movies or read or paint

00:11:17.120 or do something fun uh but i never really involved other people and when it did it was more because

00:11:24.560 they were not because they really wanted to be my friend or hang out with me because they liked

00:11:29.120 hanging out with me it's more just because they wanted to either get somewhere and they had other

00:11:36.000 intentions or because they were just like curious and then i would yeah um okay but now we're seeing

00:11:44.400 at least um that women firsthand are saying that they're not really built to be in the military like

00:11:50.400 that uh but let me know what you guys think in the comments make sure you like the video on your

00:11:54.800 way out subscribe to the channel and i'll see you next time buh-bye
