Women in the Military Should Expect to Get Raped
For someone who's so pro-war, commentator Liz Trotta sure has trouble figuring out who the enemy is. On Fox News over the weekend, she belittled proponents of women in combat and derided "feminists" who complain that uniformed ladies "are now being raped too much" by male soldiers. As evidence, she cited a recent DOD report that assaults on women had risen 64 percent in the past six years. "Now, what did they expect? These people are in close contact," she told anchor Eric Shawn. Did Trotta just suggest that women who defend this country should expect to get raped as a matter of course, as routinely as wearing a uniform and getting up early? Yes. Did Trotta just suggest that men who defend this country are monsters who can't stop themselves from raping women in close proximity, and shouldn't be expected to? Yes. SHAWN: Well, many would say that they need to be protected, and there are these sexual programs, abuse programs, are necessary— TROTTA: That's funny, I thought the mission of the Army, and the Navy, and four services was to defend and protect us, not the people who were fighting the war. SHAWN: Well, you certainly want the people fighting the war to be protected from anything that could be illegal. TROTTA: Oh, look, I mean, that's—nice try Eric. This whole question of women in the military has not been aired properly, and it's the great sleeping giant.

Trotta is implying there is an acceptable vs excessive amount of rape? I'm gonna need more coffee for this.

It would be interesting to know what the parameters are. I guess it wouldn't matter. You know how it is, give 'em an inch and all. There are always people who are going to take advantage. Coffee is not going to cut it.

More on acceptable and excessive raping.
Trotta then noted that the budget of the Defense Department’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office increased from $5 million in 2005 to more than $23 million in 2010. “So, you have this whole bureaucracy upon bureaucracy being built up with all kinds of levels of people to support women in the military who are now being raped too much,” Trotta remarked. Story Apparently if they would just be raped less we wouldn't have to spend money supporting them. Interestingly enough Trotta still seems to be blaming female soldiers for getting raped excessively. Even that is the women's fault. I'm still trying to figure out just what amount of rape is not too much. |

I think I have decifered Trottalogics. According to Trottalogics the "64% increase in violent sexual assaults in the military" is due to: 1. too many "feminist warriors wanting to be victims" in too close a proximity to potential perpetrators 2. potential perpetrators have "discovered there is a difference between men and women" The outcome of number 1 and 2 is a 450% increase, in a 5 year period, in cost/bureaucracy in the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office which probably needs to lose the Prevention part of its name. Thus, the acceptable vs excessive rates of rates, in Trottalogics, would be the 2005 vs the 2010 rates. Apparently, this can be accomplished by keeping feminists out of range of erect penises. ![]() It's just a logistical problem.
