Alex Ward and his toxic femininity problem
A fellow at Vox, Alex Ward wrote a piece on how “The Marine Corps has a “toxic masculinity” problem“. This from a guy who admits that he likes the girls’ sport soccer “a little too much”. Ward claims that “The fight for the soul of the Marine Corps is just getting started.” I thought the fight for the soul of the Marine Corps ended on the shores of Tripoli. Of course, Ward thinks that the “soul” of the Marine Corps is under assault by a few dozen Marines in a Facebook group;
Around thirty Marines face courts-martial for their involvement in the [“Marines United”] group.
Marine leaders are trying to change the culture with measures like a new rule that says Marines can be forced out of the service if they share nude pictures online without consent.
That change comes at a vital time. Marines already have been asked to fight overseas during the Trump administration, and if men and women in the service distrust one another, it’s going to make their high-stakes deployments even harder. (Right now, Marines are firing weaponry at ISIS in Syria and deploying into “hot spots” in Iraq.)
So before the Marine Corps can most effectively help maintain order in the world, it needs to maintain order among its own ranks.
First, Ward claims that the group had 30,000 members and only 30 of them turn out to be active duty Marines who can be punished. So that’s thirty out of about 200,000 active duty Marines. Hardly a fight, or struggle, or battle. I’m sure most Marines were as disgusted as the rest of us when we found out what was going on in a closed Facebook group – I assume it was closed to USMC leadership, too.
Ward claims that other services are dealing with an increase in sexual assaults, when actually they’re dealing with an increase in reports of sexual assault – something they should be applauded for. They’re also dealing with the ever-expanding definition of sexual assault. Yesterday’s poster on the inside of a wall locker is tomorrow’s Captain Mast.
By the way, masculinity isn’t toxic – it’s how the Marines have been winning wars for centuries. Isn’t that what we pay them for? Revenge pr0n has nothing to do with masculinity, not among the men I know.
It appears that playing soccer can be toxic, though.

He should just hike up his “Man” Romper and take his “toys” and go home.
I am so sick of these manbun wearing fucks I just can’t stand it…
anybody have any updates on our favorite jailbird to be, Daniel A Bernath, you know, the lawyer that was disbarred in California and refuse entry into the State of Oregon Bar because of his dishonesty, stupidity and lack of moral standing ???
I heard he was going to sit in the orange jumpsuits, but I haven’t heard anything else.
Trial was reset to August, I think, 22nd. According to the court website.
He is another word for a Cat.
Do NOT insult cats. I will turn mine loose on you.
All I have to do is pass through a doorway.
I would have time to hike 10 miles before the cat decided whether or not to follow.
Nah.
The item to which you refer has warmth and depth. He lacks both.
What would a ‘nontoxic masculinity’ look like?
I’m sure my girlfriend would LOVE if I practiced that…
Hmm…you sir have a valid point. Indeed…what would that look like?
Not sure how old you are but I will share something that took me decades to figure out.
When a woman asks you a question, she does not want to know what your are thinking…she wants to hear what she is thinking in a lower voice.
Hope that helps.
Words of wisdom, Dave.
Words of wisdom.
Ha! That may be true… at least what my exwife thought!
My chick appreciates my meat eating, beer swilling, iron lifting, manly ways. She points out other women’s, um, assets to check out. Hell, I think she likes them more than I do.
She’s the first woman I’ve ever met that truly understands that testosterone is a strong drug and testicles are a disease. Read: the basic differences in the sexes are innate and are a good thing, it’s how we got here and should be celebrated, not condemned.
(I’m 37 btws, but act 26 on a good day…. w/o bourbon)
Nah. When a woman asks you a question, it’s a quality control test to make sure your training is on track…
“Toxic Masculinity” is like an antifungal agent, effective against:
a) Enemies of our country
b) SJWs peace of mind
c) Campus Snowflakes
d) Feminazis
e) Democrats
f) Communists/Socialists
Other applications can be found.
Toxic masculinity? How would Alex know, since he has none.
A slacker by any other name is still a pimple on a someone’s ass.
It threatens his SJW peace of mind. That’s all he knows. What else does a fungus know about a fungicide?
I think you mean “xhe” instead of “he.” I posit that Alex has sand in his mangina, and that is what prompted his drivel.
Also used to make the following things behave:
1) Vehicles
2) Firearms
3) Animals
4) Children
5) Families
6) Politicians
7) Schools
8) Plumbing
9) ….
Alex, do you know why real women don’t like you? Because you’re STOOPID!
You like watching girls in track shorts playing soccer? Yeah, I’ll bet you do… and when you’re done watching, you spend far too much time in the shower after a match, don’t you, dickbreath?
You’re the kind of guy who knows how to REALLY creep the girls out – in spades, BOZO.
If you actually were a man, I’m sure your mother would be surprised to find that out, since she raised you as a pet pig.
In fact, Alex, you give male chauvinist pigs a bad name. At least they admit to it, whereas you try to pretend it was someone else who said those things, right? Right.
It’s a shame your mother decided to keep you. She could have found something better at the local Petsmart.
Alex Ward never had the personal courage or sense of commitment to our nation to accept the challenge to stand on the Yellow Footprints, nor did he ever wear the uniform of a United States Marine.
Yet he feels entitled to write a ‘hit piece’ about the internal workings of the Marine Corps and its culture.
— sigh —
(shakes head; spits on the ground)
I often wonder if these obtuse libtard assclowns ever find knowing everything about everything to be a burden.
“I often wonder if these obtuse libtard assclowns ever find knowing everything about everything to be a burden.”
The drugs help them deal with it, man.
If you must know, I think most Women Marines could be the crap out of Alex and laugh at him afterwards.
Hell, I think most Marines’ DAUGHTERS can probably whup the tar out of this proggy sissyface…
what another SJW jerk off that hasn’t accomplished diddly squat, critiquing the Corps and its policies ?
he looks like he masturbates far too often with that crooked left eye 1000 yard stare
Yes, it’s the reason he wears white shirts most of the time.
That lazy eye though.
If you turned “him” around, wouldn’t be surprised to find out that he wore a man-bun (gag) (spit!).
I bet this dude likes his prostate tickled by a hamster doing jumping jacks.
ALEX WARD = PAJAMA BOY’S BROTHER
Pajama boy’s butt buddy
This guy would be a fucknut regardless of what sport he loved….some soccer fans can still lift their body weight and aren’t afraid of using power tools or making car repairs….this guy wouldn’t be able to do those things if he liked cage fighting because he lacks the testosterone level required to actually man the fuck up and just be a regular dude.
There’s not one of you here looking at this asshole thinking he could be a tough guy, or even a regular guy under any circumstance..because he just looks like another metrosexual fucknut. His article clearly illuminates that, and I suspect were we to read most of the shit he writes it’s all hand wringing and tears….
VoV – I assume your first paragraph refers to women’s soccer as well. Come to think of it, there are some open carpet munchers there. Not that I object to that, I’m all about equal opportunity that way.
He likes cage fighting…because he finds two shirtless men grappling in a cage arousing.
Toxic masculinity? Really…that’s a ‘problem in The Corps…hmmm, let’s check the record:
Tripoli
Belleau Wood
Tarawa
Iwo Jima
Chosin Reservoir
Hue City
Fallujah
…just to name a few.
All battles fought, and all battles won. I don’t see a ‘problem’ here you pansy-ass.
Sensitivity never won a fight. “We’re gonna tear out their living fucking guts and use them to grease the treads of our goddamn tanks!” on the other hand, has been extraordinary effective.
I know, Patton was Army. Still applicable.
If it wasn’t for the Marines he bashes his snowflake ass would have been tossed off a roof long ago by real toxic masculinity.
Has that man bun-headed candyassed pus-nuts pisspants thumbsucking bed wetting Momma’s Boy ever even set foot inside of a Recruiting Office, let alone served? He looks like the limpwristed pinkie-in-the-air Starbucks regular metrosexual gel-headed type that would faint at the sight of a hangnail.
“The fight for the soul of the Marine Corps is just getting started.”
Good luck. I have a feeling that you and your limpwristed tiara wearing counterparts are going to need a lot of luck if you plan to fight for the “soul” of any branch of the service let alone the Marines.
This is too hilarious to even bother with a detailed write up. Vox is seriously such a conglomeration of lifelong failures all coming together to complain about how their lives have sucked.
A hive of beta types.
Huh, and I thought they were at delta or gamma level.
Zulu.
Nah, the Zulus could really stick it to their enemies.
Honestly I wouldn’t even put them on the chart at all. They come off as a different breed all together and I have never seen such a dysfunctional group of life stories that all come off as a “how to not be happy” guide.
Seriously does anyone outside of their fellow “kind” actually take them seriously? Sites and people like that are met with near universal laughter and mockery at just how legitimately lost in translation they present themselves to the world. The sad thing is they do not recognize how truly pathetic they are and actually are convinced their complaining will be taken seriously. They lose, they always lose, and they always will lose and that is the bottom line whether they want to accept it or not and there is absolutely not a single thing they can do about it.
How can one engage in parody and satire of those folks when they are so extreme that they self-parody and satirize themselves?
I’m quite sure that the US Marine Corps is quite capable of repelling invading organisms like this useless twig Alex Ward.
I’m waiting for him to report that he went and got a gun, just like THAT, and had a fit of trembling, angst, and furtive glances to see if anyone knew about it.
GIRLIE-BOY. PFFFFTTTT!!!
I for one plan on giving this fungating supperative mangina the attention it deservezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Yesterday’s poster on the inside of a wall locker is tomorrow’s Captain Mast.
No shit, Jonn. I had a COB once who wanted to counsel me because I had a Ridgid calendar INSIDE my locker.
And that was 25+ years ago.
The only useful purpose this clown seems to serve is to prove once again that while each of us is entitled to our opinion, most of them probably should not be shared. Widdle Alex Ward certainly should only espouse his when he is alone.
Widdle Alex Ward apparently doesn’t grasp the irony that this change he sees occurring in the Corps is just the Corps doing what it has always done – identify and punish those who break the rules. They have even been known to fine tune rules which need to be fine tuned. So how exactly is them doing what they have always done a change in Marine culture?
This man is a tool.
And I can only imagine he himself has nude pictures of men on his bedroom wall.
