DOD ‘Workplace and Gender Relations’ Survey to Troops Has Section to Gauge Misogyny
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;
The Department of Defense (DOD) recently sent out a survey on “workplace and gender relations” to active-duty service members that asks about their attitudes towards women, which some service members are criticizing as “inappropriate.”
The roughly 40-page voluntary survey, sent out December 9 and obtained in full by Breitbart News, has a section called “Social Perceptions & Experiences” that lists a series of statements about women that appear aimed at gauging attitudes within the military towards women.
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.
Some statements appear aimed at gauging whether the respondent has more traditional views about women.
The statements include: “Many women have a quality of purity that few men possess,” “Women should be cherished and protected by men,” “Women seek to gain power by getting control over men,” “Every man ought to have a woman whom he adores.”
…
The full survey was first highlighted earlier this week on social media by the popular military Instagram account @Terminal_CWO.
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.
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’s Office of People Analytics website. The 2021 survey also allows respondents to identify themselves as “transgender,” while the 2018 survey did not.
Here’s Terminal_CWO’s post on it;
I’m 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’re controlling and will put you on a leash misogyny? I have so many questions, but I’m certain this is inappropriate. pic.twitter.com/CUtFsWh3Rr

Category “WTF?” is apt. 🤨
They should ask the same questions about dudes.
Glad I am out.
Men, do you have women going “Hey, nice package” or telling you n=how nice your ass is, and it’s offensive to you? Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree or Strongly Disagree?
Any work related survey I receive is deleted. We’ve been told repeatedly not to open email’s from addresses we don’t recognize, particularly any with web links or other attachments embedded in them.
Are they going to send us those postcards reminding us to complete our totally anonymous survey when we’re late doing it?
Those get shit-canned too. 🙂
Just love the irony of an individualized postcard telling me I haven’t done my totally anonymous survey yet.
Sounds similar to the Command Climate survey we have been getting nagged to participate in, which only have two genders available to check!
Kept asking how wonderful it was to not be safe.
Maybe they should just ask that Ol’ Boy standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona about the women on his mind. I’m sure he would have an opinion on at least seven (7) of them. They need to take it easy on all these surveys. Just let the Eagles soar.
I think I’ll wrap up in my DD-214 woobie and take a nap.
Question(s)? Just for you nobunny.
“I think I’ll wrap up in my DD-214 woobie and take a nap.”
I’m with ya there, Gun Bunny (no, not literally)
Pro tip: Don’t bring up the Tijuana donkey show unless she does first or you’ll have a hostile environment.
My last platoon was all cable dogs, 6 of them female. I can hear their reactions to this silly shit now, and it ain’t gonna be ladylike.
The devil is in the details.
If there’s real misogyny, racism, or whatever; then by all means crack down. Hard. I mean real bigotry, like Dirty Ernie jokes, confederate imagery, and so on.
But…if it’s just genderspecial politically correct wokerati bullshit, don’t waste your time.
As far as the four sample questions included in the article excerpt here, I answer NO to all of the above.
Let me see now
3: strongly agree
1: strongly disagree.
Figure out which ones….:)
But what about the other 55 (and counting) genders? Isn’t the DoD concerned about attitudes to those demographics who have been an integral part of defending our way of life sine 1775? Won’t some think about the Trannies?
Got this in my email and immediately deleted it. Pretty sure they wouldn’t like my replies anyway.
These surveys are such a waste of resources.
I always lie my ass off on surveys… trying to skew results as much as possible.
” “Many women have a quality of purity that few men possess,” Strongly Disagree
“Women should be cherished and protected by men,”
Strongly Disagree
“Women seek to gain power by getting control over men,” Strongly Agree
“Every man ought to have a woman whom he adores.”
Strongly Disagree
“ Anyone that takes the time to answer this complete survey honestly is a massive douchefag.” Strongly Agree
I swear if they need bodies for the upcoming catastrophuck Moron-in-Chief is brewin’ and they start yanking chain on retirees, I ain’t going.
Break rocks in the Fed Pen with type-A dudes or have to listen to people that think climate surveys like this have any damn place in my Infantry?
Lock me up, throw away the key.
Yeah, Hack rememberers those dark days when the US Military was under the misguided impression was that their job was to prepare the troops to succeed in combat. Thankfully, they are now laser focused on rooting out White Supremacy and celebrating the diversity that the LBGQT Community has contributed to keeping America safe.
shit like that makes me THANK GOD I’m retired now!
The last USAF survey I actually opened and started to complete had stopped me dead in my tracks when I came to the questions about being anally raped at work. The answer I wanted but wasn’t among the choices was, “No, but it really felt like it”. I started answering every other survey as a hispanic female E-3. So glad I am retired. I can walk away from this GS gig after next bad meeting and I’m only out beers and scratch-offs
Q: Have you ever been anally raped?
A: Other than by my Recruiter?
Do OERs count?
BOHIC, it’s not just for figurative language!
Thank God I got out well before this crap started.
I’m trying to get in tune with the ‘New Army’ bullshit. If I throw myself on a landmine to save a female soldier, is that misogynist? If I throw her on the landmine, is that sexist?
Claim to be Muslim and that it’s “haram” to be so involved with women either way so you won’t have to answer the question.
If you leave the shitter seat up after making a “lical call”, and a pre-op transgender troop uses it after you, did you just commit an act of micro-aggression?
Please change “lical” to “local”, referring to urinating as opposed to defecating, which would be a long distance call. Hack Stone Publishing regrets the error.
