About women behind the wheel
Yes, many at once, probably, numerous sayings emerged in my head, telling that a woman is driving ... And so on. Although many ladies and madam quite well behave, driving a car. And the number of frankly living on Lavrov among the male part of our population is quite large. Enough to visit the relevant sections of the Internet.
But since we have a military review, I’m talking about a woman at the wheel. Being impressed by what I saw at the 2018 Army Games in the ABT Masters competition.
I do not know where the letter "B" is in the competition, since, having already been to four, I did not see anything armored there. But there is enough car.
This year we visited the competition for one reason only. Participation of the women's national team from Russia. This aroused interest, since the competition itself, to put it mildly, does not shine with novelty and a large number of participants. In general, this disassembly of Russia and China. Who is cooler. The rest are from the “who will be the third” series. It is a pity that the Belarusians and the Kazakhs stopped coming, they somehow diversified the general gloom of the competition.
And now - the women's team, which has already become the fifth participant. The sixth was the DOSAAF team, which was out of competition and did not claim anything.
For the first time in the reporter, chased after girls. But I caught it ...
Anastasia - a truck driver with a trawl. It is not a female model, even in the army.
Yes, in addition to the four participants, the team still had one representative of our half. Trawler. The crew of a trawl transporter should consist of two people, because in the process of completing tasks it is necessary to hook / unhook the trawl, which for women is still not quite logical work.
In general, the competition this year has caused a lot of thoughts, and I will definitely share them. But later. Now we are talking about how generally it is appropriate for a woman to perform her driving duties. This is not about the "Patriots", but about quite a KamAZ. Yes, today in the army somewhere there are already trucks with an automatic transmission. And somewhere not.
Specifically, at the competition, truck tractors with trawls were with automatic transmissions. Cars 4х4 and 6х6 were on the mechanics. Like this…
What can I say after watching the first day of the program? And impressive. Actually, avtoledi quietly left behind the DOSAAF team and the Egyptian team. But the Egyptians are no rivals to anyone but themselves. But with the Venezuelans, who have come for the third year in a row, we quite argued for third place. And in a number of disciplines they even took the second. Results after some time can be on the site of games to see if anyone is interested.
The female manner of passing the track is noticeable, by the way. It will be softer, although the “dead ends” of the three-axis “KAMAZ” are quite inhibited. Up to smoke tires. It looks funny, if you understand who is in the cabin.
In the cockpit, by the way, are not the ones that “the galloping horse ...”. Still, a truck is not quite a horse, it's easier with it. Vacuum and hydraulic amplifiers and other wonders of today's technology.
But when the girls walked along the tracks, they all supported them. And not for nothing, because they got everything.
However, on the other hand, the question arises: seriously if we need it? If these contests are a sport, then of course, with a stretch, on the wave of the universal victory of feminism and gender equality ...
I do not mind feminists with their ideas, and I enjoy watching women's volleyball and other sports. But I am sure that women have nothing to do in rugby and hockey. Not for them sports.
Approximately the same feelings were at the competition. No, we performed very well. Worthy, on a par with the men. It was a pleasure that they could.
Yes, today in the modern army there is where to apply yourself to those ladies who want to serve. But one thing is communication and medicine, for example, or headquarters structures, and another thing is the chair of a truck driver. Big.
I can’t say that it inspires the idea that any of the participants once will be forced to freeze the nuts in the cold or in the rain and in the mud and change or repair something there. Competitions - it is clear, there is someone to do it. In everyday life ...
I can not decide: we need it?
What is your opinion?
P.S. But since this is so, then, of course, I wish the women's team a successful performance. You can move the guys from Venezuela, you can.
