US Navy Now Teaching Members about "Male Privilege;" Says Buying Truck is Example of Privilege
The Social Memo ^ | 10/8/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 10/08/2015 8:49:54 AM PDT by rightistight

The US Navy's Bureau of Medicine & Surgery is now teaching its members about the dangers of "male privilege," giving examples of ways that men use such privilege to get what they want.

The document outlining "male privilege" can be found on the US Navy's Bureau of Medicine & Surgery's official page.

It details, "common phrases victims use when describing their abuse," which includes "male privilege."

Here is one of the statements that "victims" of male privilege included by the Navy:

“When he came home yesterday, he was driving a brand new truck. I told him we needed something the whole family could fit in, but he didn’t listen to me.”

In other sections of the handout, abusive relationships are talked about. However, the document makes certain to only portray men as abusers:

Yes, folks. Stupid goes far far deeper than one can imagine.
And it will continue to do so until those who push this cr*p start worrying for their safety.
Really.

How does the Navy explain that there are far more women than men enrolled in colleges and universities?

I’m female, I own a Pickup Truck AND a Car!

I must be self-hating!

“When he came home yesterday, he was driving a brand new truck. I told him we needed something the whole family could fit in, but he didn’t listen to me.”

That’s confusing a selfish pr*ck with an abuser. But, anything goes these days. I’m sure someone will sympathize with this “victim”.

The abuser wheel is spot on, though (except that it should be gender neutral these days)

The pentagon is now a three ring circus and needs a serious flushing.

The PTB are doing everything they can to deflect the real privilege:

WEALTH AND POWER

The only privilege that exists are those who are in the WEALTHY CLASS and by wealth, I mean the billionaires and those who control the dissemination of news.

Everything else is propaganda.

Unfortunately, there are lots of truly stupid people out there.

The more I learn about the way they are running the Navy, the more disgusted an embarrassed I become to have had any association with it.

The thing that pushed me over the edge was the PBS special called “Carrier” that described life on the USS Nimitz. It floored me. What a bunch of whiny, self-indulgent, wimps on that vessel. I may have felt homesick or whatever, but I wasn’t going to shed tears in front of anyone, but in the program it was full of people with teary eyes. I couldn’t believe it.

War will be fought by pajama-wearing millenials cradling cups of hot choddy, who need Safety Rooms with blankets, soft music, crayons, and cots. Casualties will be counted by the number of unoffended people you leave behind, and the number of people you make ‘check their privilege’.

My father would have had a stroke if this had happened during his lifetime.

“Making the big decisions”, and “acting like the ‘master of the house’” are now forbidden acts of “violence”, according to this chart.

Just another way they are trying to criminalize traditional Christian beliefs, in violation of the 1st Amendment.

Well we can write it for them. I have three right off the top of my head:

Using Coercion and Threats:

“Do what I say, or I’m getting a divorce and taking your house and kids!”

Using Intimidation:

Throws ashtrays and lamps when she doesn’t get her way.

Using Isolation:

“Not tonight dear, I have a headache.”

Repeat for 365 days...

Can someone explain how if women are victims and abused in a relatively civil, peacetime, stateside situation how they are to function in combat? Furthermore, how can you call some of this abuse relative to what one experiences in combat?

I guess Obama has pussified this branch of the serice also.

Thinking about what you said, what about the privilege officers have over enlisted?

Technically, you can be charged and convicted for disobeying an officer, and even be sentenced to prison.

Keep in mind, I do not have a problem with the officer/enlisted structure of the armed services, but the idea of identifying wrongful privileges in the military is rather ironic given that, no?

Buy a new truck is male-privilege. OK

First of all, hyphen-privilege words... what the samhell do they even mean? Its a hyphen-something word somebody just made up.

People have gone completely insane.
