Army ROTC cadets are complaining on message boards that they were pressured to walk in high heels on Monday for an Arizona State University campus event designed to raise awareness of sexual violence against women.
The Army openly encouraged participating in April’s “Walk A Mile in Her Shoes” events in 2014, but now it appears as though ROTC candidates at ASU were faced with a volunteer event that became mandatory.
“Attendance is mandatory and if we miss it we get a negative counseling and a ‘does not support the battalion sharp/EO mission’ on our CDT OER for getting the branch we want. So I just spent $16 on a pair of high heels that I have to spray paint red later on only to throw them in the trash after about 300 of us embarrass the U.S. Army tomorrow,” one anonymous cadet wrote on the social media sharing website Imgr, IJReview reported Monday.

Soon they are forced to attend homosexual parades.
They make high heels in 9 1/2 E ?
FWIW, none of my three daughters has ever worn high heels. They all deride them as stupid and an unnecessary risk for a twisted ankle. Two of the three prefer boots. The other prefers athletic shoes— she needs them with two very active little boys, ages 4 and 1.
I thought women wee wearing Skechers to walk their mile.
With all of the traditional “training” that we used to do that was actually beneficial but is now called hazing/harassment, I would think one of these young men would have sufficient enough grounds to level sexual harassment charges. Goose, gander, you get the idea.
This sure as hell isn’t “John Wayne’s America” anymore.
Talk about a faggot nation.
Write me up, kick me out, I would not do it.
I love the female contradiction.
The males are supposed to wear high heels. I guess that’s because high heels make women sexual objects.
But.
Go to the Washington Times site.
You can’t read the story without seeing the photo of the blonde woman showing off her butt in her yoga pants.
So, it’s OK for some women to highlight their bodies, but it’s not OK for women to highlight their bodies?
Ladies. One way or the other. Choose one.
Yeah. Now they MAKE Klingers. I would’ve resigned first.
I’m confused.. they have to wear high heels to raise awareness of violence towards women... how many women are beaten/raped by high heels? Once again, today’s world makes no darn sense to me.
Wait!!! You mean as women are sexually “empowered” and engage in having as much sex as they want, when they want, with whom they want....that they might just be VIEWED as sexual objects????
NoooOOOOOoooO!!! The humanity of it all!!!!! LOL
The hypocrisy stinks to the stratosphere. Next month they’ll have the Vagina Monologues show, men not allowed...
I remember back in the day when soldiers were FORBIDDEN to publicly do anything unmanly. This would definitely be one of those cases.
No. This is becoming SOP in training ops.
God help us when we ever again have to fight a real war.

My response would be simple.
AMF!
Encouraging faggotry.
Do they have to walk like a Hooker too?
Why didn’t the individuals refuse, these are going to be “the leaders of men” in war?
