Navy Will Inspect Its Bathrooms for ‘Degrading’ Images of Women

In line with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s order for troops to have their workplaces searched for “degrading or offensive” materials—part of an attempt to curb sexual assault in the military—the Navy will inspect even its bathrooms.

While what’s degrading or offensive is open to interpretation, the material can include song lyrics and “inappropriate cartoons.”

In a memo sent on June 13, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered that all sailors, Marines, cadets and civilian employees have their workplaces searched by June 28.

The “comprehensive visual inspections” of the workspaces conducted by commanding officers will “ensure they are free from materials that create a degrading, hostile, or offensive work environment.”

Such items are “contraband,” the memo says. …

Wait! Where are the civil libertarians arguing that such depictions are “art” and thus Constitutionally protected?

There was a report that alleged that there were “thousands” of sexual assaults in the military last year. I think they largely pulled the number out of their asses.

But why the report? Is this a homosexual agenda initiative or a disabling the military initiative -- oh, wait, I guess those are the same things.

Amazing how quickly he has managed to wussify even the armed forces.

Relentlessly the left has succeeded in taking over every institutions - even the military and sports.

Gramsci is smiling.

When the new manager of the Pine Bend Refinery arrived at St. Paul back in ‘89, the first thing he did was order all such calenders removed from the plant. The refinery had many female engineers and chemists on staff.
This improved morale amongst the ladies and the guys really didn't miss the pin-ups.
The sales office got the word pretty quick. I put up a great coal company calender. Another guy had a calender from Potlatch Paper, featuring a Canadian Mountie.
This set in motion a search for the most exclusive or obscure calender it was possible to find.

Chuck Hagel and the rest of the administration are effin idiots. The men who drew these pieces of artwork are the same men who kept us free.

The Navy is imposing Sharia Law. Next, women must be covered head to toe with large sacks lest men be tempted.
