This Day in American History

On October 7th, 1976, President Gerald Ford signs a legislation allowing women to apply for admission to the U.S. military academies. The largely progressive move was panned by conservatives who get turned off by strong women, and who thought that the national pie supply would go into severe shortage. "If we got bitches fighting wars, who's gonna get me my key lime with whipped cream? Don't expect me to do it, I can barely hold this pen." Bellowed then Kansas Senator Bob Dole. Since then, women have flourished in the high ranks of the military, bringing a set of skills that men are just not good at. Like complaining about stuff and making bathrooms smell good.
