Navy Combats Male Privilege


Since fighting the enemy would be Islamophobic, sailors in the US Navy are taught instead to combat “male privilege”:

The United States Navy’s Bureau of Medicine and Surgery has issued a warning about “male privilege” and is teaching ways to combat it.

The Navy lists these as examples of male privilege:

• “He refuses to pick up milk on his way home because it’s ‘women’s work.’”
• “When he came home yesterday, he was driving a brand new truck. I told him we needed something the whole family could fit in, but he didn’t listen to me.”
• “He doesn’t mind his friends being at the house at all hours of the night, but he says my Sunday brunch friends talk too much and are no longer welcome.”

Meanwhile, ISIS has been crucifying Christians in a country Americans recently died to liberate, Russia and China are flooding into the power vacuum created by a declining American presence, and Iran will soon have nuclear weapons. But the Navy has bigger fish to fry.

Recruiting and retaining the best and brightest will not be easy with this sort of moonbattery trickling down from the Commander in Chief like waste from an overflowing toilet on the top deck of a ship.

Is there a cruise missile for that sort of thing?

All Hail Diversity! Navy Moves Toward Unisex Uniforms And Covers…

Village People-approved.

Via Military Com:

Under orders from Secretary Ray Mabus, the Navy has announced changes that will eventually make uniforms and covers more gender-neutral.

And so, the unisex “Dixie Cup,” or enlisted white hat, will come into being and be available for wear by E-6s and below next April. Female sailors will also be allowed to carry bigger purses, so long as they match their shoes.

“Having service members don the same headgear is symbolic of a Navy that is gender-blind,” said Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Navy spokesman.

“We have been working hard to design covers and uniforms that improve uniformity across the force as well as improve the function and fit of sailors’ uniforms” according to Mabus’ plan for uniform and cover redesign, Christensen said.

“We have done several wear-tests and have incorporated sailors’ feedback” into the final designs, he said.

Effective immediately under the new regulations, the Alternative Combination Cover (ACC) and current male combination cover for officers and chief petty officers can now be worn by both men and women in service dress uniforms.

All officers and chiefs will be required to wear either the ACC or the current male Combination Cover by Oct. 31, 2016, the Navy said.

In addition, beginning Oct. 1 next year, the Recruit Training Command will begin issuing re-designed Service Dress Blue uniforms in jumper style for both men and women.

The jumper will incorporate a side zipper and the slacks will have a front zipper to help with changing in and out of uniform, the Navy said. Both men’s and women’s uniform pants will have the traditional 13 buttons but those are just for show — “they will not be functional,” the Navy said.

Yeah, dress code and respect are a real bitch. Neither have any business in the military, damnit!
