Navy teaching members to combat “male privilege”
From the “you can’t make this stuff up” dept.
“The United States Navy’s Bureau of Medicine and Surgery has issued a warning about “male privilege” and is teaching ways to combat it.”
Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.
Old Trooper out.
God Help Us !!!!!
The Stupid Is Never Going To Stop….
Jesus. Glad I’m not in anymore.
I remember when I was in we had a sexual harassment training course for the whole squadron, a squadron that had no females.
My chief raised his hand and said “Lt. is this a ‘how to’ or a ‘should not’ kind of course?”
Saw this a few days ago. Made me sad enough to skip it in favor of breaking my diabetic beer fast.
Seriously, is anyone truly shocked or surprised by this? It’s rather old hat. It was well established by the feminazis quite some years ago–and subsequently adopted by the culture, as taught and enforced by Hollywood, politicians, and the media–that all men are controlling, selfish, domineering, pigs. We are abusive bastards w/o raising a finger in anger. If you ever yell, that’s abuse. If you ever make a decision that is unilateral, that’s abuse. If you ask your wife where she’s going and with whom, that’s abuse. If you (this is most egregious) handle the family’s finances, go get treatment. You are an abusive spouse (Careful. These things flow in only one direction so don’t go there.)
Falls down laughing after reading article.
Define ‘male privilege’.
Being able to write your name in the snow while peeing!
This is true.
Youse guys do not have to expose more than a few inches of precious pink flesh to do that.
We ladies, without the She-Wee, cannot compete. And you are all Big Meanies, just for that.
If it’s cold enough outside – try “Blue Meanies”.
Unless we’re wearing our kilts, in which case it’s “Blue Balls of Scotland.”
SHRINKAGE!!!! SHRINKAGE!!!!!
Well, some unfortunate souls may have only a few inches that get exposed 😀
Dude, a “few” is “not many but more than one”. It’s generally considered to be less than 10.
I don’t care if you’re John Holmes reincarnated – unless you’re afflicted with elephantitis, a “few” inches exposed while urinating is correct. (smile)
Lets spin that wheel and see what todays attitude will be. Ya, right. This was done by some idiot that has never been married.
If I am TOLD (asking went out years ago) to pick something up on the way, uhmmmm……I dont have a HOME to go to.
Sex only gets violent if I am having it with someone else.
Intimidation; that works so well on a cold hearted Soviet bitch that carries a 9×18mm Makarov.
Isolation; The monster-in-law brought the Iron Curtain with her ass. I think Putin has been looking for it. Nothing funnier than Jehovah Witnesses that breech the compound unwittingly.
Economic abuse: Trying to get money from a Ukrainian is like tying to compete with HOBO or whatever his name is for respect.
Squids, go figure.
Dave, I read your post twice.
I can’t figure out if you’re complaining or boasting. Please clarify.
Sorry, I am just a wee bit woozy from all that gravy talk. Between her subtle advances with a food fetish and Jonn’s public profession of his love for me, well, I am just breathless.
I am so torn, what should I do?
Who knows, PN? He was complaining about my doing a chuck roast and gratuitously spreading my gravy around on the WOT.
He is sometimes perplexingly obscure.
Now, my reading comprehension isn’t really top drawer, but I got the definite impression he was into Iron Maidens with Makarov’s. Or did I miss something?
I discovered this week that I can buy love with a little money. Amazing what I can get with a PayPal account.

I am not sure what to do, this Bromance thing is all new to me.
I’m easy, but I’m not cheap.
Always give ’em a choice.
I’m not easy, but I’m cheap.
Mamsan called me Chip Cha-lee
Next thing you know, they’ll start giving stress cards to trainees in Basic of all the service. BUT, only if they are female or male and gay.
What Basic Training? It’ll be turned into a socially appropriate interaction class where you will learn how whites, males, and heterosexuals are evil and should be avoided. Oh, and something about camouflage.
Hater, you left off trannies. Oh, the angst.
It’s going to take a long time before gets the social experiment out of the military. Course by then it’ll be more like My Little Pony than anything.
hey, MLP has it’s moments, it’s not all fluffy happiness
Have a seat over there, Aysel. The doctor will be with you momentarily…
Same crap, renamed for trending hashtags. I still don’t know what most of it has to do with actual Navy service. Then again, my Navy was always pretty quick to subject people to whatever experimental social training was popular. Just go there, make goddamn fucking sure to sign the roster, and mentally check out as much as necessary to get through. Also remember that “any questions?” is actually code for “shut the fuck up and we can finally leave.”
I wonder how many men thought, “This sounds just like my ex-monster” when they received this training?
Had they presented this as a lesson on spousal abuse, the Navy would have a point.
I am tired of the belief that all of society’s every hurt, large and small, are caused by y chromosomes.
The Navy is just trying to catch up to the Army.
Glad I am out.
Being what passes for a liberal on this board, I can understand the notion of privilege, be it white, male, whatever, … but the magnitude to which people blame it for their woes is absolutely and utterly insane. And it’s reached the point where it’s absurd.
Here’s one of my favorite articles – this woman, the diversity officer at her school, wouldn’t allow white men to attend meetings, and tweeted ‘#KillAllWhiteMen’ … and then claimed that she can’t be sexist or racist because she’s not a party of the ‘system’ of white-male oppression.
These sorts give the genuine people who fight for equal rights a bad name. I’ll be happy when I no longer hear ‘triggered’, ‘privilege’, etc. used in this fashion.
Kinda like the black, female professor who called Ben Carson a coon this week. Since she’s black, it’s okay to say that crap.
These people give the NAZI’s a bad name. It’s the old saying, If I do it, it is not a crime because I’m not a criminal.
As I read more about the Planned Parenthood debacle of cutting babies up and selling them off as so many spare parts like an old Chevy in a junkyard I would agree that the Nazi’s, Jeff Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy could learn quite a bit about torturing a human being and committing genocide>
And as I read that 60%+ of all black babies in NY are aborted genocide is the only thing that you can call it.
Over 60 million dead since the onset of abortion on demand.. Stalin, Hitler Dahmer and Charles Manson could learn volumes from today’s liberals…
I recently saw a picture of some Black Folks holding a banner saying “PLANNED PARENTHOOD HAS KILLED MORE BLACK PEOPLE THAN THE KKK”, damned if they aren’t right!
That chick was arrested for threatening hate speech (apparently, England has.a law against it.) Her name is Bahar Mustafa and, as this board commonly says, she has some ‘splainin’ to do! I don’t like anyone being arrested for saying stupid shit (shouting fire in a crowded theater notwithstanding) but the irony is wonderful.
So who heads the referenced bureau? Rear Adm. Raquel Bono. Who would have thunk a woman approved the wheels?
And the backlash is already being felt in some Left Coast Libtard circles, where Feminists are having a hard time meeting men, for whatever reason: a date, sex, marriage, children, any/all of the above.
Seems that more and more MEN are discovering the concept of MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way).
Maybe in a generation or two this entire Libtard PC nonsense will die out due to no next generation to pass it on to.
Don’t breed with them? That is possibly the only way this antisocial idiocracy will evaporate into dust and the world return to normal.
I couldn’t date a lib woman if my life depended on it. Do I open the door for her, or would she call me a “Sexist chauvinist pig” for “triggering a micro-aggression” by “asserting she’s not independent” and other shit like that?
Here are some statistics that were quote in that article.
“A 2012 study by Bert H. Hoff, J.D. found “More men than women were victims of intimate partner physical violence within the past year, according to a national study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and U.S. Department of Justice.”
Hoff’s research found that in the 12 months prior to the study’s release, “an estimated 5,365,000 men and 4,741,000 women were victims of intimate partner physical violence.” That’s 53% and 47% respectively.”
So, tell me again, WHAT FUCKING MALE PRIVILEGE?
I may be an old-fashioned girl, but if you have no manners, scratch your ass in public, get falling down drunk anywhere and end up in jail, come to dinner in a tank top t-shirt and yell ‘FOOD’ at me, you won’t stay in my house very long, never mind my neighborhood.
Any REAL woman is independent, self-sufficient, able to handle a LOT of shit that these bimbos never thought of by herself and stand on her own two feet. That does not mean that any of us want to live in a world without men in it.
I hope that some day, things get back to a vague semblance of normalcy.
I can dream, can’t I?
Hell, I was the recipient of Domestic Violence during my first marriage (She started punching and hitting me when we were on the so-called “Honeymoon” and sucked up every dime I had at the time like a hooker snorting cocaine)and that was only one reason I got the divorce paperwork going, but a lot of “counselors” would have tried to put the blame on me despite the fact I never raised a hand against her. The reason for that? LE would have taken her word against mine, and she’d have used that against me in the con game she was playing on me!
You know their doing this to prep everyone for Female BUD’s and Female marines in Direct Combat unit’s.
They were starting this shit slowly in 2013 it is prepping the battlefield.
Not just females, I’m sure the PC SJW’s are going to push for female, homosexual and TG quotas all across the Armed Services.
DEATH TO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!!
Instructor: And lastly, during consensual intercourse, it is okay for the female to be on top if she desires.
Female sailor: Oh, kind of like when I do it with my girlfriend?
Instructor: Class dismissed.
Sapper3307 sends these examples of “male privilege”;
The SJWs have absolutely no concept of any of that. The only history that they have ever been taught has been one where there was an oppressor class (straight white men) and “the oppressed” (everyone else). I’d hate to try to imagine how they would try to distort the actual historical record with wild rationalizations to fit the approved narrative if they were presented with the images above.
I like the photo.
If we are going to lobby for, preach and institute equality in the Armed Services, then EVERYONE needs to register for the Selective Service.
I agree completely with Green Thumb’s opinion.
Talk to Congress. Until Federal law changes, ain’t gonna happen.
That says a bunch, will we ever have a “LIKE” button here at TAH?
God Almighty! What are they doing to my Navy?!!!!
It is heartbreaking. I don’t think I would be able to stand it if I was still active duty!
We’ll pay a price for this…
Are you implying that Putin, China, and ISIS are not addressing this also? I’m shocked. /s
I wish we had Bob Hope around, to deal with this one.
I wish we had Martha Raye around for it, too.
This gets more and more ridiculous.
(Looks into hands, sees no sandwich)
Male privilege, my dying ass.
Picture says it all.
Next president is going to have his hands full purging the Fucking stupid out of the military. These officers that are allowing the destruction of our military with this bullshit, you are a Fucking disgrace.
Then we all better work our butt’s off to ensure a Dumbocrat is NOT the next president.
This whole privilege thing is just, “MY feelings are hurt and i don’t like your opinions!”
So, I was intrigued and downloaded the app. I am not a big fan of stuff like this, because I think it doesn’t really help but rather provides a fig leaf so the Service Chiefs can tell Congress they told Ted or Joe not to abuse his wife (I believe the legal term is ‘reasonable effort’). Now they can slam the guy when he does. The news stories are misleading, so I don’t think this is going to rend the very fabric of American Culture. The training is very basic, outlining the forms and patterns of abuse. It does say that women are perpetrators of all forms of abuse , although it has some different statistics than PH. The ‘Male Privilege’ piece is very small, and makes sense in the context where it is used. It is not at all the point of the training, and it does not assert that all men are bad because of male privilege or that it is something that all men should be considering in their everyday life. They are saying there is this concept of male privilege that some abusers use as a justification for what they do. Again, I don’t like this kind of training because I think it is ineffective. That said, it is better than sitting in a theater for 6 hours of mandatory training once a month when everyone knows that the guy who actually beats his wife (or drives drunk, or is thinking about suicide, or whatever) because of a PowerPoint show. I’m out now, but as a civil servant I sit in some of the command briefs at a fairly high level command Domestic Violence is a big problem for the Army because unlike in the civilian world the commanders are being held responsible for every stupid act of every soldier or sailor or Marine that abuses their spouse. At the same time this is going on we are trying to retain UCMJ authority for this very type of crime. No one calls their Congressman to tell them how awesome the last Gunnery or trip to NTC… Read more »
You have merged Domestic Violence with this silly Male Privilege thingy. The two are distinct with the former a crime and the latter a licit, and largely imagined, behavior. This mistaken merger is precisely what the strap-on set and now-70(+)-year-old bra burners intend. Did you notice that the “Power Wheel” uses only the feminine pronouns to refer to the so-called victims? As for no one calling a congressman to say positive things about a squad leader, there’s this chick named Moerk who is all over that.
The ‘Power Wheel’ is part of the Navy’s mandatory Domestic Violence training… that’s my point
What kind of shit do these Moerk-type of PC SJW’s screech other than we’re supposed to hate ourselves to death for being born as White males?
Let’s make it easy. I’ll hate you and you hate me. (I think that was a Barney song.)
Stop the hate, right now! Stop it, I say!
I said, this is ridiculous. There IS no ‘privilege’. There is nothing but whining coming from people who don’t want to work to earn what they want. They don’t like competition because they might lose. They want to be rewarded just for showing up.
Well, here’s your reward: the floor needs cleaning. There’s a broom, mop and bucket in the corner. Have it done by dinnertime. Thanks.
