Bottom-center photo appears to be a man hitting on another man.

I honestly never expected to see the US military so inclusive in my lifetime.

[+]Nathaniel_Higgers 10 years ago* [recovered] (16 children) | Copy Link

1 in 8 males in the US military have been sexually assaulted, 1 in 3 females have been sexually assaulted. There are over 5 times more men than woman in the military, so the total number of men being assaulted is higher than women. Most of them being assaulted by other men.

[+]Nathaniel_Higgers 10 years ago* [recovered] (5 children) | Copy Link

There was no logic, I wasn't making an argument either way, just stating the facts.

I think he's joking. Also just because something's a fact, doesn't mean there's no logic. Your comment was clearly logical. You using facts makes it more logical, not less logical.

[–]Nathaniel_Higgers1 point 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

http://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/docs/mst_general_factsheet.pdf

This says 1 in 4 women and 1 in 100 men, but that is only those who reported it during a VA screening.

http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/05/01/military-sexual-assault-reports-increased-11-percent-last-year.html

Keep in mind the numbers below are only for 2014

A major finding in the Rand survey based on statistical projections from raw numbers estimated that 10,600 military men and 9,600 women were victims of sexual assault last year.

However, women were still five times as likely to be victims of sexual assault since men outnumber women in the military by about six to one, the report said.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/20/victims-of-sex-assaults-in-military-are-mostly-sil/?page=all

This article talks about how men are much less likely to report than women. That more men are assaulted, and that most male on male assault are akin to prison rape, where the perpetrator doesn't identify as gay.

Unfortunately I couldn't track down the stats I originally provided, but I did read them in article some time in the past. When searching for these stats mostly everything was by year and not total. The 10,600 men assaulted in 2014 is basically one percent. That number could easily reach 12.5% if men are more likely not to report and I would surmise stay in the military if they are not reporting.

[–]FerretHydrocodone 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That photo confuses me because both men appear to be smiling, from what little detail I can see.

[–]TheRavenousRabbit 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

While the gross number of men being raped or sexually assaulted in the military is higher, the per capita is not. Any kind of statitiscian uses per capita when measuring this stuff.

[+]Nathaniel_Higgers 10 years ago* [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link

Uh no, absolutely not, they look at all measures available.

Either way, I was just stating what the facts are, I was not making a value judgement either way or saying men getting assaulted is a bigger problem than women getting assaulted. I think 1/3 of women getting assaulted is a horrible stat. Maybe this says a lot about society or me, but I am more surprised about the 1/8 of men, and I figured some other people may be surprised as well. I am not a men's rights activist, I think I saw thread thread on the /r/all and came into comment.

[–]WaitingToBeBanned 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I think he may have meant measuring as in measuring out, so as not to be dishonest.

[–][deleted] 151 points152 points153 points 10 years ago (16 children) | Copy Link

In my limited experience - 9 years in the Marines - I found the military to be dramatically more inclusive than the civilian world. From a "job" point of view, everyone knew exactly where everyone else stood - because it's right there on your collar. As far as opportunity for advancement goes, it was very clearly laid out, with a gigantic ass manual you had to follow. Sure, someone could pencil fuck your pros/cons, but they can do that kind of thing anywhere. Relative to my civilian job - which measures exactly two tasks out of the dozens I perform - it was much more objective and fair.

As for personal treatment, it was a clear meritocracy. Shitty guys were shitty, and were treated shitty. Hard working, responsible, conscientious guys were treated with respect.

From a cultural standpoint, it was also fair. Sure, it might have been because the bar was just lowered for everyone, but all the jokes and teasing was backed up by love.

That, or I'm just kinda nostalgic.

[–]AgentNipples 21 points22 points23 points 10 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

in my experience, that's how it is. Everything is tracked so your progress is metered.

[–]RockFourFour 8 points9 points10 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Another reason for the military's "progressive" attitude is because it's a federal workplace. The feds are much stricter with all of the HR stuff in general.

Back in my Army days, we had more sexual assault, sexual harassment, etc trainings every couple months than I've had at all of my other jobs combined. They were also very explicitly gender neutral, and made a big point of making sure women could be perpetrators and men victims.

[–]speedisavirus 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Confirmed. Been out of the mil for over 10 years now and had more sexual assault briefings in the mil than I probably will have in the next 30 years of employment. Was in for 6.

I dunno about that. I'm reading the book "Level Zero Heroes" and it is telling about a convoy ambush. The .50 wasn't returning fire for the longest time into it and they found out afterwards the woman they put in the turret wasn't even strong enough to rack the bolt to fire it and they had to drag her out and get someone else in there - the whole time taking heavy fire and RPGs.

It's not unexpected. And it's smart. The US military (amongst many western) is not incompetent and knows damn well how to attract potential recruits and free commercial.

[–]wbgraphic -3 points-2 points-1 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

They're not incompetent by any means, but have been notoriously misogynistic and homophobic for as long as most American adults can remember.

Reports of female personnel being sexually assaulted, scandals like Tailhook, and policies like "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" have given the US armed forces a reputation for exactly the sort of behavior this poster is addressing, albeit with the genders swapped.

I picked up Corporal fairly quick and young, so there was a point in my life where I, a 20 year old Marine, had to put a 25 year old Marine in his scivvies outside and literally squirt him with a hose and instruct him how to use soap.

I mean, we can stink in general and all but fuck that shit if you're one stinky mother fucker I'm going to humiliate the fuck out of you (if you don't follow my orders to be hygienic repeatedly).

If anything, the Corps is the cleanest branch of the four.

[–]cqmaps 3 points4 points5 points 10 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, when you are squeezing 3 dudes in a barracks room you have to take hygiene pretty damn seriously.

[–]Mad_hatter05 points 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Three? Shit we had four for a while, but then I moved into one of those new barracks they put up in French Creek with an elevator that never worked.

Had an entire room to myself and no shared bathroom, pushed two beds together and threw a mat on it. Lived like a king. A king I tell you.

tl;dr Marines are happiest when they don't have any guess work about being able to masturbate.

[–]cqmaps5 points 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Yeah, nothing like being walking in on: Full stroke, bottle of lotion and a porno mag (pre internet). Happened twice. The second time, I was in a shitter in Haiti when it happened. The first time, I was super embarrassed and was trying to deny it. Got made fun of for days, but it was funny. I was a boot. The second time, I was in almost 4 years and a Cpl. Door swung open, and I jerking it on the shitter. I look up, still stroken and say to the very shocked Marine "do you fucking mind?" LOL

When I was in the army I loved being the little spoon. I'm only 5'8 so most of my battle buddies were taller than me. It was so nice feeling so protected.

However, when I did get a turn being the big spoon I got to pretend I was a jetpack which was a lot of fun.

It's hard to explain, but we occasionally close out of extreme necessity.

Imagine sleeping outside for a few weeks in January. You have to take your boots off because it's usually not healthy to have wet feet that long, so you all bunch up for warmth because it's so cold you can't think.

My roommates also a Marine, I'll occasionally go lay and cuddle him on the couch. Plus he's got that big cuddly ass.

[–]thecarolinelinnae4 points 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

I love it when straight dudes are physically intimate in a non-sexual way.

To me it just says "Screw societal expectations; I'm straight and a man but I'm secure enough to admit that being close to you makes me happy."

Manly.

Interestingly enough, I've noted that some men from eastern European cultures with a deeply-ingrained machismo are much less shy about physical contact with their male friends.

[–]Mad_hatter06 points 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

How people act towards it just makes me laugh sometimes.

"Don't do that, it's gay"

Me giving my friend a back rub doesn't make me want to suck dick, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't make him want to suck dick.

But if it did, that's totally fine. But it's still not gay.

I think guys are always in a situation where they think they have to evaluate their own sexuality, wonder if gay dudes have any problems like that?

[–]thecarolinelinnae7 points 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

The "don't do that, it's gay" reaction is only a result of gay being a negative thing, I think. The assumption that gay is not "masculine."

The way I look at it is - if you would look at two women doing something and not assume sexual involvement, then two men doing the exact same thing shouldn't garner that assumption either.

Plus, the UCMJ is very vague on consenting while drunk, there is no set limit to how much you can drink before you can no longer consent. It simply states that a person may be unable to consent due to drugs, intoxicants, or similar substances.

Which is pretty much the only rational way to do it. There is no set limit since people have different tolerances due to weight, drinking habits and so on.

No particular BAC makes everyone shitfaced beyond being able to consent.

[–]5510 9 points10 points11 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Or unless you were drugged or something, you take responsibility for your drunk choices. Drunk consent is still consent. If you don't like your drunk choices, then make the sober choice to not drink.

(assuming you gave affirmative consent while drunk, being almost passed out and just "not saying no" isn't consent).

[–]Mad_hatter0 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

It's just a silly point people get into, if you're so intoxicated you can't function. It's rape basically always. Gender doesn't matter, what you took doesn't matter, and since I don't think it's possible to rape someone when you're literally nonfunctional-intoxicated, what the rapist took doesn't matter.

But people extend that to being so intoxicated you don't remember anything or wouldn't have made those same choices if you were sober, and that's wrong.

[–]55101 point 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

I'm not saying they would have made the same choices sober. But when they voluntarily get drunk, they are responsible for the drunk choices they make. If you intentionally mess up your inhibitions for pleasure, you can't blame other people if you make drunk choices you regret.

Like I said, if you don't like the choices you make drunk, then avoid the situation by making the sober choice to not drink.

[–]SuperWackSauce 16 points17 points18 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Or how about we go with the much more reasonable self-responsibility. If you cannot prove that you were: drugged, made to drink, or physically assaulted, too goddamn bad. Be more responsible.

[–]MyPaynis 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

So this training where they tell you not to rape and harass the women, did it work. Did the guys that were planning to rape and harass women because they made it through their whole lives never being told it was wrong, change their minds and follow the advice in the handouts and videos and not rape? It truly makes a massive impact when men are sent to mandatory training sessions so that for the first time in their lives they can be educated on the "not so good" aspects of sexual assault. Hearts and minds right? /s

[–]Fangqaz 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

[–]MyPaynis 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If raped I shall immediately report it to the police and have them take my statement from the hospital. I don't need your fancy mandatory brain washing sessions to know the common sense next step after being sexually assaulted.

On second thought I will probably have consensual sex with someone for a few months and send them texts about how great they are and how I look forward to our next sexual encounter. Months later after being rejected I will report to my university that our multiple sexual encounters were non-consensual and push to have them kicked out of the university. Also I shall carry a small bed mattress around with me wherever I go and speak to any news agency that will listen to me. When my 15 minutes of fame is up and I'm not getting the celebrity victim attention I deserve I will make a pornographic video to get back in the headlines on the front page. Tumblr and the Huffington Post will award me with the gold medal for the victim olympics.
I will later graduate and take a well paid job at a rape victim advocacy group and possibly write a book and be paid to speak at universities. My plan is perfect.

Got an ex in the Navy. She caught the attention of some marine, whom she turned down. He got his buddies together within 3 hours and went after her. Brutal beating and gang rape, put her in the hospital with liver damage. I'm sorry, I don't know any non-marines who happen to have four or five friends hanging around who are up for that on a casual "sure, let me finish my dinner first" basis.

I was hanging out with my best friend in the Corps, she picked up rank about a half year before me and technically we shouldn't have been doing some of the shit we did together (nothing sexual) but no one cares as long as it doesn't cross a line and she remembers her rank at the important times.

Anyway we are fucking hammered hanging out in her room watching 'Reign of Fire' and I say, "Gerard Butler is such a fag."

I don't know what the hell switch I hit on her drunk ass, but she stood up and screamed "Fuck you he is not" and punched me as hard as she could right in the fucking eye.

So we end up on the ground fist fighting, I ended up beating her head off of the corner of one of her cabinets and we break it up and get back to drinking beer and watching shitty ass Gerard Butler fight dragons or something, next day my Gunny notices my black eye and jokingly says "Hey Cpl (females name) did you punch LCpl in the face again?" and she broke bearing and it kind of was apparent that she actually did.

So the Gunny kicked me out of the office, got her story and proceeded to give her the biggest ass chewing in the history of man-kind, pulled me into the office and said it was my call if I wanted to take it further because she was my NCO and should have known better. I appreciated the fuck out of it, I wasn't being actually abused by a friend but he took the right steps to stop something improper.

And just if anyone is curious, Marines fight all the fucking time. It's all we do. There's almost never malice behind it, and if there is we just grab a beer when the fights over and leave it behind us, it's surprisingly civil.

We had a Gunny who was our SARC and he was the victim of serious domestic abuse and he was very impartial to gender when giving sexual assault talks or domestic violence talks to our company.

And as a veteran I dare say the women being sexually assaulted is far over played and the men being sexually assaulted have been completely ignored. I personally have experienced it and honestly I knew of several others that had someone making severely unwanted advances on them. There have been absurdly obvious instances of women using their position to either punish someone or corner them in my time.

Because the Marines have some badass women who are most likely the alpha in their relationships.

On a serious note, I'm glad some body sees the importance that both sides see abuse. Until men are not abused, women have no right discrediting abused men and their struggles. I saw a girl say that rape to men is a dick showing contest, I needed to call her out on it but being my wife's friend I stayed nice and didn't start. She says men need to shut up about rape, and how we make it a dick measuring contest when that's dick measuring because men see it too. It doesn't have to be more or the same, it just needs to exist which it DOES.

Nobody denies the statistics, they just deny the bullshit narratives, when you look at civilian statistics it's more like 50/50 the difference is, one side is acknowledge the other side the public refuses to believe exist even when the case is clear cut.

To put it into perspective, if you have a case in the marine corps where a woman was raped, automatic enquiry and I bet you the entire company or whatnot and headquarters would be ready to lynch the guy.

Yet a guy trying to get justice? Crickets, guaranteed, because it just can't enter into peoples' heads that a guy can get treated badly as well.

Initially when I saw this, as a woman, I was sort of taken aback but after reading the comments I'm finding that women assaulting men in the military is a problem that's not widely known or recognized. I apologize for my ignorance but can I get a little more info about it? My assumption is that women are so few in the military they assume they can do whatever they please because "everyone wants them" sort of thing. I'm just curious how prevalent it is, I can assume how it's handled when complained about but this was the first I'd ever heard of women sexually assaulting men in the military

[–]azazelcrowley 3 points4 points5 points 10 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

My assumption is that women are so few in the military they assume they can do whatever they please because "everyone wants them" sort of thing.

Nothing to do with how many women there are, this is pretty much how women abusers behave in general, as a result of mens sexuality being demonized as constantly wanting women.

So a woman wants a man and thinks she doesn't need to bother getting consent, because all men want sex constantly.

It's the first time you've heard of it because mens issues are ignored and suppressed by misandrists.

Think about this. It's the first you've heard of it, so it'll be the first some men have heard of it too. A lot of men internalize the idea that they have to consent to all advances or they won't be a real man. A lot of the time they might fake consent and feel conflicted about it, or not be aware of what's happened to them.

This is the result of an intersection between feminism and traditionalism in our culture, and feminists refusing to allow alternative perspectives or be an ACTUAL fucking gender equality movement, instead of a pity party for women with a side lobby of discriminating against men.

[–]Snyggkille 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No the Marine Corps doesn't get it. It measures something called "sexual assault" which includes grabass and violent rape in the same statistic.

It's precisely because they're that way they won't be able to fight back, the moment you do with a woman people will immediately make snap judgements especially if you're muscle bound and tall and the woman can just lie and say the man attacked first.

Take note of any time shit goes down with a woman, whenever a guy actually tries to defend himself against her. Men are ready to jump in only when the woman gets attacked, it doesn't matter to most people if the woman tried to stab him or was constantly trying to hit him they'll always try to make the claim the guy is physically stronger etc. 'therefore' he should be able to stop her with magical powers automatically.

and when the sexes are reversed do you feel the same way?

[–]Pistacheeo -3 points-2 points-1 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

If the sexes were reversed I'd feel differently. Though to clarify I don't think anyone should walk around slapping anyone's ass, but I'd bet my life that FAR more men in FAR more circumstances would be A-OK with a woman hitting on him in such a way. It is in part a social construction but also a biological one, women are more picky and have good reason to be more picky with whom they choose for a mate whereas men are programmed to be the opposite. Men are bigger, stronger and more agressive than women and coupled with a stronger desire to find and mate with everything that moves It creates a situation that we're in where the bias is against men to be the perpetrators of sexual assault. It's like stereotyping, they don't just magically appear out of nothing, they exist because they're true. THough don't take any of this as me saying we should treat anyone a specific way based on their appearance or nationality or gender.

Anyway, like I said, biologically men are built to be the dominant sex, and this poster portrays a scenario that I just don't buy ; that these men are being traumatized because a woman is hitting on them in a physical way. ... Seriously? Any self respecting man would tell them to fuck off if he's not interested. What's presented in this poster feels more like it's trying to pander to the intensely politically correct culture we are becoming, and ignoring reality.

Its happened to me 3 times in my life that I can remember and I wasnt ok with any of it.

Any self respecting man would tell them to fuck off if he's not interested.

And if the sexes were reversed you would feel the same way? The reality is that life is not so cut and dry. Any man (or woman) can be put in a situation where he feels helpless and vulnerable even at the hands of the weaker sex.

The whole point of the poster is to show that men can be the victims too. The reason that the poster exists is because it happens to men and at the hands of women as well other men.

What's presented in this poster feels more like it's trying to pander to the intensely politically correct culture we are becoming, and ignoring reality.

I fucking hate PC culture. Believe me, my feelings on the subject has nothing to do with political correctness. Also its not at all politically correct to show women as harassers. Put this campaign on main stream TV and see what kind of reaction you get.

[–]Pistacheeo -1 points0 points1 point 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Did you confront these people?

If the sexes were reversed I'd expect any self respecting woman to tell him to fuck off. But like I said, things are a bit different when you're dealing with (statistically) a human being that is larger, stronger, and more aggressive than you. Same reason why most women don't feel safe walking around at night, men in a general sense are a hell of a lot more dangerous than other women. Can you blame them for feeling less inclined to react negatively to someone's advances?

I get the poster is supposed to show that men can be victims of it too. But it also comes off as more comical than anything. It shows a bunch of sissies practically whimpering as a woman hits on them. It looks pathetic, which is why it's getting responses like mine.

I also hate pc culture. I especially hate this reactionary "menimist" thing.

[–]tallball1 point 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Did you confront these people?

No, I didnt. I may well have if it ever went past an sneaky ass grab while greeting a friends mother with a hug. Who by the way adopted my friend and his brother, so it, in my mind brings terrible implications. If she was willing to so brazenly grab my ass when there were two other families around, what would stop her from taking advantage of her two adopted sons when none else is around?

But then again I am not so sure I would have made a scene. It takes you aback, its unexpected and I wasnt sure what to do at the time.

The other two instances just seemed like the girl was trying to get a reaction out of me. All three happened in a much more vulnerable time in my life as an insecure teen and adolescent. Many people are different and depending on where that person is in their life, they could be in a place where speaking out is difficult for them. Thats man or women.

It shows a bunch of sissies practically whimpering as a woman hits on them. It looks pathetic, which is why it's getting responses like mine.

Ok, so they are sissies. Does that mean that they have any less right to their autonomy? Its like you are saying that they deserve it because they arent man enough to stand up for themselves. I cant believe that you can actually think this so I will give you a chance to explain why just because they dont measure up to your standards of a man that it means that it doesnt happen or that when it does happen those people dont deserve the kind of recognition and support female victims get. It seems to me that you, as the masculine man you seem to front, would want to stand up for those weaker then you that need a little help. penis or vagina that would be the right thing to do. No?

Can you blame them for feeling less inclined to react negatively to someone's advances?

No, I cant and I dont. Im not arguing that women dont deal with these sort of things that you pointed out. I am trying to point out the double standard. There is more to human interaction than just size and physical strength. You give examples of mental reactions and interactions for women, but dont give the same benefit to men. There are certain social pressures that, like me for instance when the older lady grabbed my ass, I didnt make a scene or object. You give a benefit for women that you dont afford men simply because men are physically bigger, but there is a lot more going on in these interactions than just the physical. We are talking about the mental as well was physical. Its not as cut and dry (like i said previously) as you make it seem, or at least not as one sided.

Menimist or Meninism isnt actually a thing. The MRM and MRA's are a thing. Meninism is a satire. Google it if you care to know the difference. Or you can continue wittingly or unwittingly conflating the two.

Outside of false accusations (which also includes those regarding domestic violence, workplace harassment, and child abuse) and bias against male caregivers, there are distinct biases against men in divorce courts and family courts. Alimony reform is still actively campaigned against in order to preserve inequalities such as permanent alimony. Many legal statutes, including those in US states such as Georgia and Idaho, do not recognize women as rapists which is clear discrimination. Over half of US men have been circumcised without their consent as children. Unmarried fathers do not have any parental rights by default in a majority of US states, for example the implementation of putative fatherhood registries. Yet if men do not want to be fathers, they do not have any rights to relinquish fatherhood while mothers have opportunities to relinquish their obligations even after the child is born. Services for men who are homeless, disabled veterans, or victims of abuse are critically lacking. Many states have no dedicated shelters for abused men or are building their first just this year.

Men's legal rights and men's issues are valid points and there is a mountain of evidence to support this. You should examine why you are so hostile to the idea that men's problems are being ignored in society and why you find it necessary to be rude to those who wish to discuss them.

Or be a man and tell her to fuck off. Or fuck her.

And if she's a superior officer?

Then deal with it. Report it.

And if that results in repercussions?

Then what do you expect me to say? Why don't you ask that to the people who made this poster because that's what they're telling you to do you ninny.

I expect you to make a fool of yourself answering my rhetorical questions.

The poster's message is to take harassment seriously: don't do it, and report it if someone else does it. Your message is a macho dismissal of the issue.

Oh ofcourse, just don't do it! Why did no one ever think of that before?? You're a bloody genius.

You fucking imbecile. You don't even understand what a rhetorical question is.

just don't do it! Why did no one ever think of that before??

Many people haven't thought about it before. The idea that women can be perpetrators and men can be their victims is genuinely new to many people. They find the very idea comical.

You're a bloody genius.

So I'm told, but I stay humble.

You don't even understand what a rhetorical question is.

Do you really think so?

Report it, yes. but what is the attitude of the people who he is reporting it to? Some moron is going to tell him to "Be a man.". Those are the kinds of attitudes the poster is trying to address.

All I can say is that when I look at this poster I see the equivalent of a man at a club or any other public place and a girl hitting on him and him being far too cowardly to tell her off. I don't know their ranks or whatever in the poster, it just looks like a bunch of guys peeing their panties in the face of being given the opportunity to go out on a date.

The guy's rank is PFC which is only 1 rank above private. If you walk around most any base you won't find any real privates outside of bootcamp, so PFC is as low as it gets.

[–]Swiggy 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Look at the rank on his collar.

Nothing happening in any of the pictures are sexual assault.
