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.”

Before the leftists impeach Donald Trump and drive him from office, I sure wish he would eliminate every bit of the feminist, lgbt-whatever madness that Obama injected into the US military. Can’t happen soon enough.

New Study Finds Wimpy Guys Are More Likely To Be Socialists

MRC TV ^ | May 25, 2017 | Brittany M. Hughes

It’s now been scientifically proven that the wimpier the guy, the more likely he is to be a socialist. No kidding.

According to a new study, physically weaker men are more prone to support socialism, a trend psychologists say may be because they feel they can’t compete against stronger men and are therefore consider inequality more threatening.

According to the Times, U.K., Brunel University ran a study on 171 men, measuring everything from their strength, height, weight and even bicep circumference. What the university found was that the physically inferior men tended to be the ones who said they supported the redistribution of wealth.

The physically stronger men, on the other hand, were a lot more prone to backing capitalism, and said they supported the idea of naturally dominant social groups.

“This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society,” explained the university’s own Michael Price. “Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success. If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good.”

“Of course this isn’t rational in modern environments, where your ability to win might have more to do with where you went to university,” he added. “Lots of guys who are phenomenally successful in modern societies would probably be nowhere near as successful in hunter gatherer societies.”

Still, Price says, it’s pretty amazing to see how natural dominant instinct plays out in today’s society, where weaker guys appear to find a lot more value in others being forced to share the wealth.

Meanwhile, demonicRATS are going to run a bunch of veterans in the next election cycle hoping to cut into Republican gains.

I almost can't wait.

“ways how the Corps could get rid of their “toxic masculinity.”

Recruit only pajama-boy metrosexuals and outfit them in pink uniforms?

The only time the liberal left even acknowledges veterans is when they can be used for the left’s own purposes...

Poor VOX, they have to share one testicle amongst their entire group of followers.

Sorry, but Marines rule, and VOX ...well...needs safe spaces even to pee.

I was at the Eureka, Ca Memorial this AM and the local news lady( KIEM channel 3) intervied a few vets. But she took the longest from a female sailor who went on and on about how immigrants( emphasis on illegals) were the back bone of the military and how sad it was they were being deported...on and on and on. I have a running bet of all the interviews this one will get the air time.

It appears we are still the fascist deplorables. Winning

You have enough going on. You have battles on many fronts.

I watch your posts and pray for you.

Now if you will excuse me, I must go shave my head.

Quaffing with his pinkie out. No doubt that is considered good form among the Clintonista chablis drinking set.
