There’s a survey sent out last week to about 1 million soldiers that has some…odd questions on it. Enough to make one think that they’re looking to push a narrative or agenda. From Breitbart<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The Department of Defense (DOD) recently sent out a survey on \u201cworkplace and gender relations\u201d to active-duty service members that asks about their attitudes towards women, which some service members are criticizing as \u201cinappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The roughly 40-page voluntary survey, sent out December 9 and obtained in full by Breitbart News, has a section called \u201cSocial Perceptions & Experiences\u201d that lists a series of statements about women that appear aimed at gauging attitudes within the military towards women.<\/p>\n

Respondents are asked to indicate the degree with which they agree, ranging from Strongly agree, Somewhat agree, Slightly agree, Slightly Disagree, Somewhat Disagree, Strongly Disagree.<\/p>\n

Some statements appear aimed at gauging whether the respondent has more traditional views about women.<\/p>\n

The statements include: \u201cMany women have a quality of purity that few men possess,\u201d \u201cWomen should be cherished and protected by men,\u201d \u201cWomen seek to gain power by getting control over men,\u201d \u201cEvery man ought to have a woman whom he adores.\u201d<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The full survey was first highlighted earlier this week on social media by the popular military Instagram account @Terminal_CWO.<\/p>\n

The 2013 National Defense Authorization Act mandated the DOD to conduct the survey every year, with the active duty force taking it in the even years, and the reserve force taking it in the odd years.<\/p>\n

The section with the statements on women appear to be a recent addition. The section does not appear in the 2018 survey, which is posted online on the DOD\u2019s Office of People Analytics website. The 2021 survey also allows respondents to identify themselves as \u201ctransgender,\u201d while the 2018 survey did not.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m not sure what to make of this survey. Is this an attempt to gauge misogyny within the force? If so, is cherishing women misogyny? Is thinking they\u2019re controlling and will put you on a leash misogyny? I have so many questions, but I\u2019m certain this is inappropriate. pic.twitter.com\/CUtFsWh3Rr<\/a><\/p>\n
