LEFTIST MEDIA OUTLET ATTACKS MARINES ON MEMORIAL DAY OVER ‘TOXIC MASCULINITY’
Breitbart ^ | 5-29-2017 | Charlie Nash

Posted on 05/29/2017 12:55:55 PM PDT by blam

Left-wing news outlet Vox attacked Marines on Memorial Day, claiming in an article that the Marine Corps has a “toxic masculinity problem.”

The article, which was simply titled “The Marine Corps has a ‘toxic masculinity’ problem,” continued to claim that the Marine Corps often “marginalizes or mistreats female troops.”

Citing the Marines United nude photo sharing scandal, Vox staff writer and defense correspondent Alex Ward attempted to link the Marines with systemic sexism and listed ways how the Corps could get rid of their “toxic masculinity.”

“And to be fair, it’s not just the Marines. Sexual assault has increased in other services, and even in military academies,” concluded Ward in the article. “According to one Pentagon review, there were 6,172 reports of sexual assault last year.”

“Toxic masculinity” is any behavior that puts liberal wussies in their place.

If not for the Corps’ ‘toxic masculinity’ the a-hole who wrote that piece would have been writing in Japanese, and probably from a Slave Labor camp.

What is wrong with him? Is he trying to look cool, having a stroke, or just way far stoned?!
Not that those are mutually exclusive.

Here is surely what we need! feminist sensitive snowflake marines to storm ashore on a hostile beach or defend against mad jihadists in the ME.

And Bless them for every bit of that masculinity ... and I’m a girl or more accurately - because I’m a girl.

That fellow looks like he would have the Marines filled with clones of himself. Their combat days would be over were it to be so.The Marines would become another Social Justice organization that has a lot of guns and bombs and stuff that its members could not bring themselves to operate against foreign enemies lest they violate someone’s rights.

If we could keep these guys from recruiting, they would die out in a generation.
