I guess that Paula Broadwell is proof that female military officers are all out to bang general officers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Broadwell had certainly encountered vulgarity and sexism, both subtle and overt, in an ongoing military career that goes all the way back to West Point. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So she lived up&#8230;or down&#8230;to expectations?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMarines United\u201d is a symptom of a gender hierarchy in the military and, sadly, the broader society that it draws from. But unlike other habits that the military efficiently drills out of its members, there\u2019s no effort to do the same when it comes to sexist behavior. How is it that boot camp can alter everything about an individual except, apparently, their retrograde view of women?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You know what? There probably are people in the military who are sexist, but then so are their peers who are currently enrolled in college. Maybe the problem is not the military culture, but the overarching culture from where these youngsters come?<\/p>\n<p>Rape and sexual assault is more common on college campuses than it is in military barracks. Sexual assault is a problem and it shouldn&#8217;t be encouraged, but I don&#8217;t see the Pentagon encouraging it. They&#8217;re paying more attention to the problem than America&#8217;s college campuses seem to be.<\/p>\n<p>In my humble opinion, what Paula Broadwell has done encourages sexual assault and she should probably find another line of work.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paula Broadwell and Kate Hendricks Thomas take to the pages of the Washington Post to announce &hellip; <a title=\"Broadwell &#038; Thomas; The Marines\u2019 naked-photo scandal shows military culture is still sexist\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=70719\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Broadwell &#038; Thomas; The Marines\u2019 naked-photo scandal shows military culture is still sexist<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57578,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dumbass-bullshit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/57578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
