Fox Pundit Says Women In The Military Should ‘Expect’ To Be Raped

[Lions_fan]

TROTTA: But while all of this is going on, just a few weeks ago, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta commented on a new Pentagon report on sexual abuse in the military. I think they have actually discovered there is a difference between men and women. And the sexual abuse report says that there has been, since 2006, a 64% increase in violent sexual assaults. Now, what did they expect? These people are in close contact, the whole airing of this issue has never been done by Congress, it’s strictly been a question of pressure from the feminist.

And the feminists have also directed them, really, to spend a lot of money. They have sexual counselors all over the place, victims’ advocates, sexual response coordinators. … So, you have this whole bureaucracy upon bureaucracy being built up with all kinds of levels of people to support women in the military who are now being raped too much.

1. and this person is a woman?

Wow, a woman who hates women. There should be a special place in hell for women like her.

9. Yep, allow me to introduce you to my theory of the dynamics of discriminated against groups

90% have the typical viewpoints of the group
5% will cross the line into reverse bigotry. (Much of The Nation of Islam, Kahane and the Jewish Defense League, Valerie Solanas)
5% will be self-hating collaborators. (overseers, vicious Jewish concentration camp capos, and yes, anti-feminist women)

20. I hadn't really thought about it applying to all minority groups, but that makes sense. nt

2. women are being raped "too much"?

and what, pray tell, is the right amount of rape?

6. I missed it by *that much* :)

That comment that struck us tells us all we need to know about the commenter.

Apparently, those damn do-gooder feminists are causing military rape to rise above the proper amount.

15. I think that says everything

about what a tremendous asshole she is.

3. Civilized much?

Are we going back to cavemen days?

[pinboy3niner]

4. They're being raped "too much"?

Should they be raped a little less?

5. Women have often been the enemies of other women. It's an interesting phenomenon.

I don't know if its jealousy or old age or women thinking that getting more rights makes them less womanly, or what. But it's been this way forever, I think. Some women were against women's suffrage. Some were against adding women to the civil rights act, to protect against discrimination for gender, not only for race and age. Some were against women working outside the home. Phyllis Shlafley, who is still alive!, was against everything regarding women's rights.

In a way, I can see where it COULD be foreseen that more rapes than normal would occur, when women are cloistured with men in military situations. But that doesn't make it the women's fault, or a reason for them not to have rights to be in the military. Once again, that is a MAN problem that others are putting on the women. A MAN does something wrong, and it becomes the WOMAN'S fault, just for being there. The implication being that "boys will be boys," and men have no control over themselves.

That's like saying that it's the fault of a small guy if he's picked on and raped in the military by the other, bigger guys. No, no one would say that. They would put the blame where it lies: with the perpetrator of the crime. No one would say, "Well, what do they expect? He's a little guy. If he weren't there, it wouldn't have happened!"

10. See my #9 above. Its a simplistic theory, but it seems to fit.

12. Well-said!

7. Oy!!!

8. How do people this stupid remember to feed themselves or

not walk in front of a moving vehicle?

[pinboy3niner]

13. Shhhh! Our fingers are still crossed...

11. Thanks to whomever it was that gave me a heart

14. Under what rock did this woman crawl out from under?

I'm guessing that she doesn't have good relationships with men. No indication that she is married or has any kids.

[Kalidurga]

16. I don't know what that is nor do I want to know.

She scoffed at the idea that women should be protected from criminal acts just because they are in the military. I guess since violence is a part of the military she would scoff at men being legally protected from being murdered. I mean what do they expect they are in the military right?

[saras]

17. They're in the military. They should just summarily execute attempted rapists.

Well, maybe it's not what she thinks, but it would be a huge improvement over the present situation.

18. Unbelievable. nt

19. Women should be able to serve

their country if they want to without having to fear rape. I think we need women in the armed forces because our troops do come into contact with women from whatever country they're in and if those women see other women in uniform, it might be easier to get them to side with us.
