    The latest conservative outrage seems to be that pregnant women make the military too 'feminine.' How mysogynistic is that?

    That random statement deserves a link/source.

    Pregnant women shouldn't be combat-ready - that would endanger the unborn.

    Tucker Carlson is the source.

    unborn.

    That makes sense. Booting them out doesn't.

    It was not entirely random. You are correct that it was not related to any other ongoing discussions, but it was about a political topic in a political forum. I acknowledged its novelty in that it had its own subject and was not
    a reply to any other message. Is every new topic random, or just this one?
