Woke West Point Curriculum Denounces ‘Toxic Masculinity’
CD Media ^ | 01/28/2020 | CD Media

Posted on 01/28/2020 3:01:30 PM PST by MAGAlady

West Point cadets attended mandatory events — framed by the military academy as educational curriculum — on “inclusion,” “diversity,” and “gender norms,” Breitbart News has learned. The programming included discussion groups led by upper-class cadets, labeled “facilitators,” making references to “toxic masculinity,” leading one cadet to comment, “I’m being taught how not to be a man.” This was the military academy’s third “Honorably Living Day” hosted by West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams,” reported the Military Times, describing West Post’s characterization of “honorable living” as including “diversity, inclusion and acceptance of people from differing backgrounds, races and genders.”

Williams described the event as relevant to the development of combat “readiness…”

No need for “toxic masculinity” in combat.

Hopefully, the cadets just sit there and pretend that they believe this bull excrement.

I’ll bet the majority of the women are also quite put off by the juvenile low IQ slime being poured upon them

Sounds like they’re trying to create a huge new market for Gillette products.

It started under the Clintons, both of them loathe the military

As did obama’s weather underground friends, associates, political appointees and attorney general

I never thought they’d succeed in tearing apart the military culture, but they are. They have promoted and produced a generation of military officers that are poltical toads

Even lower ranking toads, like “Oh say can you see” Vindman, in what used to be sensitive positions

I hate articles like this.

If you follow the link, there isn't any sourcing for the statement about toxic masculinity. They obviously aren't going to print a cadet's name, but there isn't even a hint of who actually did the interview, or where that statement came from.

“Hopefully, the cadets just sit there and pretend that they believe this bull excrement.”

When I was an intern, they made us go thru diversity training crap TWICE. Basically, it was a black dude lecturing us majority, not-black, pissed-off employees that we were racist assholes.

Don’t forget.... GELL-MANN AMNESIA

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
– Michael Crichton (1942-2008)

Myself I like being married to a man who I know to have the ability and the will to visit mayhem and grievous harm on anyone who bothers me or my children. He’s not the least bit concerned about anyone’s feelings when it comes to protecting his family.

He is a Marine and he is a man.

God help us if we really need to defend our Country. There aren’t enough alpha males left to do the job. Just a lot of neuters.
