In reply to the discussion: Hundreds of Marines investigated for sharing photos of naked colleagues [View all]sarge43
(28,941 posts)29. As a woman who put in 21 years of active duty (May 62 to Oct 83),
I am well aware of the misogyny in the service having been on the receiving end of my fair share. I am also aware that the service has no corner on misogyny. As a former training instructor aka recruit wrangler I also know the service does not create it; it comes in carried by civilians who have been carefully taught. Until society as a whole says enough, there won't be much change in the service.
You're right; Trump is the next step. I said on 10 November I was concerned for servicewomen with that vulgarian as CinC.

OP
You think this wouldn't have occured w/o Trump? Or this just started a few months ago?

That's what every Marine would tell his daughter. And his mother. And possibly his wife.

Yet another absurd comment involving Trump. This would have happened w/o him.

The USMC isn't going to go through every profile that commented on the pics.
