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.
For some actual facts on the epidemic of rape in the military see:
Leon Panetta: Military’s handling of rape is an “outrage.”
Naomi Wolf: A culture of coverup: rape in the ranks of the US military
Victims say military condones rape
Shade, allow me:
“Stuff you, women! Stuff. You. Goofy hat rumps. Stuff your empowered bullnose. A man needs a woman like a bicycle needs a fish you unbridled ebullient rumps. Stuff your hot-spang independence you stuffhead flunkwads. You can all stuffing fly! Stuff your hot-spang stonk big-pooper guardians, stuff em! I will stuffing put my dong on the curb and stomp the of your head you goofy plots. Fly you goofy pitchers! Just stuffing fly! You worthless pitchers should be flown to france you rump headed pitcher heads!”
@inurashii- bahahaha!
The idea that women in battle just throw down their weapons and run away screaming is obviously a made-up story. If a man can’t be disciplined and professional around women, then that man shouldn’t be in the military.
Oh crap, I was totally ninja’d by lauralot earlier! I blame my vagina.
@ ruby- there aren’t enough bland and painfully obvious pro-feminist statements you can make to compensate for the racist and rape-apologist stuff you’ve said here.
Well, it’s not like only one vagina could possibly be responsible for everything that went wrong in the prequels.
My vagina got Firefly canceled.
@ Karalora- YOUR VAGINA IS THE DEVIL
My vagina wrote the sixth season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Holy shit people! Read the Spearhead article on fathers with daughters! Its not a bad article, but the COMMENTS! Holy fuck, its going to be like watching Vesuvius blow if it continues on!
* not a bad article compared to what all too often gets posted there.
LOL. Don’t worry, I’m sure he won’t go “meekly to his fate” given that “revealing the [supposed] sexual nature” of the women he raped is what happens for like, EVERY SINGLE RAPE CASE EVER.
Seriously, even in the recent trial of Jerry Sandusky was full to the brim of victim blaming horseshit talking about how the boys that man assaulted were “conniving” or “charmers”. There was also Fr. Benedict Greoschel a while back in one of David’s posts also bemoaning the children “seducers”
Even children in our victim blaming rape culture are looked at as “sluts” who “asked for it”. So yeah, don’t worry guys, I’m sure there’ll be plenty of victim blaming and general horrible in this military case as well.
@pillowinhell
I didn’t know the Spearhead’s address, so I googled it and it turns out ‘The Spearhead’ is also a monthly white supremacist British online magazine.
Huh.
Woah fuck, this is from the comments there (from Cooterbee):
I think I’m going to go phone DadFantastic now and see how he’s doing.
More from Cooterbee:
Radical feminists seriously have nothing on these guys.
Gee, I wonder why it is that Cooterbee has no effect on his daughters’ lives. I wouldn’t let him within 10 feet of any kids.
Ten feet is still in hearing distance. The only reasonable solution with someone so unreasonable is to drop him on Great Bird Island off the coast of Antigua and Barbuda. There are plants, birds and no people.
When, on the odd occasion that my parents voice their concerns about our happiness and their abilities as parents, I should… not show them that quote, or they might become even more saddened on behalf of the daughters.
@thenatfantastic
Well, here’s Azula reading 50 Shades of Grey, does that help?
Butbutbut Hellkell, not letting someone who refers to his daughters as ‘trash’ and ‘whores who got what they deserved’ see their children is MISANDRY!
@Myoo
This is my favourite take on Fifty Shades of Vomit.
Thenatfantastic: Hooray for MISANDRY, then!
I bet ol’ Cooterbee thinks he’s so slick and his daughters don’t know what he thinks of them. They know. He’ll be too busy blaming his bitch ex-wife for his kid’s lack of interest in him, but it’s on him.
With regards to the ol’ ” If women are equal to men why can’t they defend themselves from getting raped?” argument, I thought MRAs were trying to claim that female-on-male rape is just as common, if not more common, than male-on-female rape. If this is the case, and teh menz really aren’t strong enough to prevent themselves from being raped by weak and feeble wimmin, surely they can’t be fit to serve in the army either?
My vagina is responsible for blockquotes fails.
Also whatever the fuck is happening with the strikethroughs. That’s very like my vagina.
@kiki: Actually, I think it makes more sense that Otis lives with his family, and that his cousins went to visit them. I somehow get the vibe that his Hispanic cousins may be less than thrilled from the idea of visiting him personally.
