It would be cool to have female blue shirts or pilots. It makes Cobra seem more realistic and ruthless.

any female wearing a Cobra Symbol is the last one i'm going to f*** with.
given where Cobra recruits the men from, odds are they are going to recruit the women from the same sources.

The COBRA in my Joe-Verse is left-wing and gay-friendly. COBRA Commander's philosophy is that it is simply a natural variation of human sexuality that has nothing to do with anything, and does not affect a person's ability to drive a tank, fire a gun or fly a plane.
Dr. Mindbender, Tomax and Xamot and Zarana are all gay in my Joe-Verse. Serpentor is bi, at least when his Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar personalities are in the driver's seat. Not to say that COBRA is free from prejudice. Destro hates gay people and finds them repulsive and unnatural. He is the one who makes homophobic comments during COBRA meetings whenever Mindbender or the twins have anything to say. This causes friction between him and the Baroness because she is Dr. Mindbender's hag. Zartan is straight but flirts with Destro to infuriate him. Their worst fight was after Zartan fondled Destro's buttock and it took a squadron of BATs to subdue and haul Destro away. But on the subject of women in the COBRA military, advancement and placement in COBRA is based on ability. Women are regarded as equal citizens but they have to prove themselves, are not given ranks just because of their gender. As such, there are not as many women in the infantry as there are in Tele-Viper, Air Viper, AVAC, Strato-Viper, or Crimson Guard positions. More than half of the Crimson Guard Sleepers (the deep cover agents) are female, as who is better at deception and sabotage than a woman? The Baroness is technically second-in-command of COBRA (Destro is not an "official" member) and if the Commander were to be killed, she would inherit the throne. Serpentor is the commander of the Viper forces, the elite COBRA troopers. All people in COBRA-controlled societies are given mandatory basic military training, males and females, so everyone in COBRA is at least a Dark Blue. You find more women in support positions at bases and on ships rather than on the front lines, but that is due to the general physical differences between men and women. Any woman who can pass the rigid physical standards for infantry work is permitted to serve in that position. It is uncommon but there are female Vipers and soldiers and they have a lot of respect in the COBRA army. There are some women in COBRA who have a Dark Blue status and training but their purpose is to "keep the home fires burning." They raise the children and oversee the domestic affairs of COBRA-controlled societies. Women are not forced into that, though. A lot of the COBRA medical branch, the Leeches, are female as well. COBRA Commander also has The Nest. This is a COBRA sanctuary where beautiful young female volunteers can go to become brides of the Commander. COBRA Commander has hundreds of children. They are brought up by matrons in The Nest and COBRA Commander visits them from time to time, assuring them of future greatness in the ranks of COBRA if they prove themselves. It's good to be the Commander... I'm not sure exactly how to take that... |

In my opinion, COBRA is NOT sexist at all...I dont see the Commander "segregating" his forces...if you are willing to serve, then grab a gun....

That or maybe he's sadistic enough to be willing to gamble that constantly trying to avoid getting abused (yes, I'm using that as a euphemism for a much uglier word) by the scumbags that comprise a good chunk of Cobra forces will "toughen up" the women. Guess it just depends on your view of the Commander. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that Cobra is an organization of "regular guys." Putting women into the midst of an organized paramilitary force of scumbags is not a healthy situation for the women, or potentially for the men if the women are tougher than they think. |

There would be Female Cobra Troopers. CC is not an idiot (regardless of what the cartoon showed). He wasn't a facist, in that racism and sexism was one of his points. His wife leaving him was just additional motivation.
CC is the classic militia leader. Disinfranchised with the government, looks to blame his misfortunes on others. It's not his fault that his business tanked, it was the government. etc.. etc.. Even if he didn't want Female Cobra Troopers at the beginning, he would have allowed them in eventually. Like I said, he's not stupid, he knows where his army comes from and he's not going to turn away anyone that wants to join. His "supply" isn't unlimited. He doesn't have a bunch of kids turning 18 and enlisting like Nations do. He has to recruit what he can, when he can. So if there's some bad-ass chick that wants to join. He's not going to say no. Also, if not having women in his movement was on his agenda, why was the Baroness there every step of the way. Your thinking is very sexist. So was the reason that this thread was made, because of those female Cobra blueshirt customs? That's pretty sad... |

If the Commander is smart, he'll segregate his forces to some degree. It's not being sexist, it's preventing serious morale and discipline breakdowns and trying to create an environment where some women might actually want to be part of it.
