US Army Brig. General charged with rape. Who’s to blame? According to The Spearhead, it’s women.

NOTE: Man Boobz Pledge Week Continues! Big giant thanks to everyone who has donated!

If you haven’t yet, and want to, here’s the button you’re looking for:

A Brigadier General in the US Army has been charged with rape. Well, actually, Brig. General Jeffrey Sinclair has been charged with a veritable laundry list of offenses, as set forth in an Army press  release, among them

forcible sodomy, wrongful sexual conduct, attempted violation of an order, violations of regulations by wrongfully engaging in inappropriate relationships and misusing a government travel charge card, violating general orders by possessing alcohol and pornography while deployed, maltreatment of subordinates, filing fraudulent claims, engaging in conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman and engaging in conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, or of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces.

While details are still sketchy, the charges apparently involve misconduct with several female subordinates.

Over on The Spearhead, W.F. Price bravely takes on the real villain here: women. Apparently their mere presence in the Armed Forces is enough to provoke male soldiers and generals alike to rape them and, while they’re at it, to buy booze and porn, mistreat their subordinates and rack up unauthorized purchases on government issued charge cards.  In a post with the title “How’s that Women in the Military Thing Going Now?” Price gets right to the heart of the matter:

I suspect that the more combat-oriented environment an environment is in the military, the more likely these problems with women are to come about. For one thing, fighting men are more passionate by nature, and then there’s the fact that these men also turn women on more.

Yes, because when male soldiers rape female soldiers, the problem lies with woman in uniform getting “turned on” by men in uniform.

A forward base in hostile territory is not likely to have the same atmosphere as an assignment stateside. The sense of danger actually tends to make people more sexually charged, or so I’ve heard from those who survived battles and sieges on the Eastern Front in WWII, where female-operated AA batteries behind the front lines became de-facto brothels.

Of course, male soldiers are also known to rape civilian women, so by Price’s logic women should neither serve in the military, nor not serve in the military. In times of war, they should just do all us dudes a favor and cease to exist at all.

If not, well, women just need to face up to the danger of “hanky panky” that their mere existence creates:

[O]ur personnel are serving in a remote Muslim country with no access to local females to speak of, and things are bound to happen. As to whether Sinclair “forced” anything on anybody, we don’t know at this point, and it seems unlikely, but it isn’t surprising at all that some forbidden hanky-panky may have occurred.

At this point, virtually all we know about the alleged crimes here is contained in that laundry list of charges I posted above. Yet someone Price is able to deduce that Sinclair is likely to be innocent here. Evidently Price is convinced that anyone who is a “real combat general” and who has “earned a number of awards related to combat arms and parachuting” is someone who is to be implicitly trusted.

In the comments, the Spearhead regulars offer their own unique takes on the issues of women in the military.

Keyster seems to dream of a day when women can not only be kicked out of the military but also out of pretty much everything else as well, except presumably the kitchen:

It’s not safe to work or serve with women.

The potential for trouble is way too high.

Once they invaded the workplace the last vestige of male only space was the military. Now even this is no longer true. I don’t know where men can go and work with other men without female interference anymore. Even if you own your own business, the government forces you to hire them…and invest in all manner of special female accommodations, like breast pumping stations and tampon dispensors.

Ironically the safest “male only” space is a Gay Bar. And even then curious women wander in to meddle and cause disruption.

Numnut drops some biotruths on us all:

Appears women are very horny once a month and will have sex with the most aggressive male available to them at that time.This re-enforces the “thinking with the vagina” theme that a women herself espoused.

Now that the lawz have given wymyn free pass to act out their base animals nature,no man is safe from the Whiplash regret post-sex.(ref to OT)

No doubt these milfem cursors were ovulating and thinking with the gash when they asked to be screwed.

The proper thing for the law to do is recognize this animal instinct and either regulate wymyns behaviors of legalize male sexuality again.

Women want it both ways,a rough man for sex,and prison for rough men.

Jean Valjean hopes that this case will help to expose women for being the filthy sluts they really are:

The question on my mind is will this man fight the charges and reveal the sexual nature of many women in the military or will he go meekly to his fate?

A commenter with the highly ironic name Reality offers up this bit of secondhand shitthatneverhappened.txt.

There was a guy who had been in the military who told me that in actual warfare when the bombs start dropping & the gunfire starts coming at them in an actual combat situation, women just throw down their guns and start running screaming like they would do any other situation.

We’re doomed. All so we can pretend ‘women are just the same as women’ [sic] – that’s more important to all these idiots that run this country & half the idiot population than the security of the country. It’s that way in any situation in life- this political correctness & diversity shit is becomes more important than success, life or death- you name it. In that sense it’s like drugs or alcohol addiction – you throw away your whole life for this one stupid, trivial thing.

Equality: Stupid and Trivial.

I learn new things every time I read The Spearhead.

I’m glad you read the Spearhead. It means I never ever have to.

Sexual assault is always women’s fault. Because women. Being near men. Having vaginas and being women. How can men be expected to control their dicks when vagina?

Now I feel very nauseous.

For the record, NAMALT.

The sense of danger actually tends to make people more sexually charged, or so I’ve heard…

This kiiiiiiiiiiind of touches on the mistaken attribution of arousal, but to jump from “This dude may mistake some of the terror of his fight or flight response for sexual arousal” to “it is totally normal, expected, and a-okay for this dude to rape a subrdinate female officer” is just…. irrational. Obviously.

It is obvious that these guys are irrational, right?

Doesn’t the military forbid relationships between individuals of different rank precisely because the rank can be used to coerce compliance from the subordinate? Which is known to those of us in the reality-based community as “force”?

oh, right. “Forcible” rape only happens to virgins who are assaulted by strangers in ski masks, who fight back sufficiently to prove they weren’t secretly sluts who wanted it to happen. My bad.

Just wow. I found this book interesting as the perspective of one woman who was on active duty: http://www.amazon.com/Love-Rifle-More-than-You/dp/0393060985/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top The one-star reviews think that she’s whiny, but I thought it was good to hear from the sort of person who doesn’t normally write this type of book, i.e. serving women.

If the alcohol was present when he was serving on a dry mission – and many missions are now dry for obvious disciplinary/conduct reasons as well as for having better relations with the local population – that’s an incredibly stupid thing for such a senior person to do. Given that the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour, and assuming the accusations are proven, this would be a pattern of behaviour that was present to some degree before his promotion to Brigadier. Again, assuming truth, I’m surprised he got promoted so far.

@drst I don’t know what the situation is in the US military, but in New Zealand there is no banning of relationships between serving members. The issue that might crop up is the same in other organisations: no partner should be a direct manager of the other partner. Given how military people are posted, and how that can wreak havoc with the career of a non-military partner (who was often female), banning military people from partnering up would be a recipe for sneakiness / increased resignations.

It’s amazing how misandrist he’s being. Men cannot be expected to control themselves because women?

Fuck all those guys. They need straight-jackets and padded cells…

“For what?”
“Protection!”
“[We] don’t need protection!”
“Protection for them!”

I’ve been around plenty of beautiful women. I’m male, straight, and incel. I’ve yet to rape anyone. And I have a feeling that I’m not an exception, but the rule.

These guys are fucking sick.

I have come to the conclusion that these particular spearheaders come from a planet where human beings simply do not exist, and all they have to deduct their ideas from is the ways of their own race. They are the last remaining individuals of said species because they died out due to total failure of attracting mates.

That’s not too far off. They think in a way wholly divorced from the way healthy individuals think, but they honestly believe every other man on the face of the earth thinks the way they do.

What is a “milfem cursor”? Can I change my cursor to one?

These men are just so, so angry that they’re being culturally and politically left behind by the rest of us people.

Funny how many groups of people have been designated cowards who should not be allowed to serve in the military over the years by white supremacists. If they couldn’t embrace these myths they would forced to face the fact of their failure at decent human being 101, and maybe do something about it.

Nathan, uh, I’m probably being paranoid, but you only refer to yourself as ‘incel’ when you’re making fun of MRAs, right? I’m just making sure.

Rape as a tool of war has always been missing from the public discourse on this subject. The military requires dehumanizing of the enemy, and the treatment of women as rewards or resources for men from an opposing side. Ideologically it is hard to mix with a policy of not raping women inside the military.

What I am saying doesn’t remove blame from the rapist or assign it to victims. It casts additional blame on institutions for condoning violence.

Anglerfish, truly an example of misandry in the natural world!

(Seriously though, have you ever heard about how they reproduce?! MRAs would hate that. 😀 )

Yes inurashii, in a “that’s not an excuse to be an entitled, self-righteous, sexist asshole” kind of way.

Nathan Hevenstone

Actually, it probably comes with some subconscious “I’m better than you” feelings towards the MRAs, but if so, it’s in a flabbergasted “how is this possible that I’m actually better than you” kind of way… since I’m not usually better than most people…

skeptifem, when I talk to people who attempt to minimise the impact of rape on a person – often, particularly, talking about people who live in cultures of endemic sexual violence – I try to bring up how the UN have recognised rape as a severe method of torture. I don’t know whether it helps (and I then have to contend with people asking why some people – like myself – seem to have “survived” rape without obvious trauma and personality change: ragh, things are not all like other things!), but I always get annoyed when abuses are referred to as “torture and rape”, like rape isn’t.

And female anglerfish, collecting tiny testicles! Truly the radfems of the ocean.

Surprise, surprise: manosphere types who constantly go on about how much women love alphas and are turned on by aggression also feel entitled to decide when women are consenting or not. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone on that Spearhead thread, including WTF Price, has read this and taken it way seriously.

Ugh, enough with this bullshit that “in the old days” women didn’t work. There have ALWAYS been women working, for centuries. They were domestic workers, servants, farmers, and slaves.

Also, funny how MRAs continue to accuse feminists of thinking all men are rapists, when it’s MRAs who continuously argue that the mere presence of a woman is enough to send the average man into a raping frenzy.

Thanks David! I’m a anthropological historian by semi-trade, and will happily remain baffled. Also, surely it’s “cursed milfems”? (pronounced “curs-ED”, obvs.) I also have no idea what a milfem is. But if they didn’t talk in a pseudo-code then I would probably be even more repulsed, so maybe it’s a blessing.
