You know the proceedings have become a circus the minute Gloria Allred takes the stage. She is a shameless opportunist.I'm calling for a hearing to get to the bottom of this corrosive and abusive behavior toward female servicemembers. https://t.co/xyJRniQQVu

I don't blame former Marine Erika Butner, who is pictured with Allred. Butner was told that she deserved to be a Marine if she could pass some physical tests. "Victim blaming and the excuse that some are giving that 'boys will be boys' needs to stop," Butner said.
The Marines involved should be disciplined. I think a dishonorable discharge should be in order for a Marine who willfully violated a private space to film a female Marine.
The problem is, a woman who wants to be accepted by the Corps should be willing to relinquish most of her privacy. Gloria Allred thinks civilian jurisprudence should be brought to bear on these young warriors. She even said, The posting of lewd photos without consent is a violation of the US Code of Military Justice.
What a dumb cunt. It's the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
A lot of these photos came from other social media accounts. Photos of Marine Lance Cpl. Marisa Woytek were taken from her Instagram account. Where is the expectation of privacy in an Instagram account? Even if the account is set to "private," its existence alone is a threat to unit cohesion.
Does Lance Cpl. Woytek believe that a foreign adversary would never think to hack her Instagram account and post her nude pictures?
The fact that thousands of Marines followed the Marines United Facebook page is a huge concern. Senator Gillibrand would love to drum out every single follower, and sentence those who fantasized about rape to the stockade.
Gillibrand said, "This unacceptable behavior spotlights a culture of disrespect for female service members that undermines good order and discipline in the military and weakens military readiness."
How the fuck would you know about military readiness, Senator? Doesn't having inferior warriors in the field weaken readiness? What about the deeply instinctual male impulse to protect women from harm? That somehow strengthens readiness?
We are a long way from the heroes of Bougainville, Guadalcanal, Peleliu, and Iwo Jima. And they better not think of singing bawdy songs like Dirty Gertie From Bizerte. If female Marines hear the stanza, Wears no chemise and wears no skirty, she'll summon Senator Split-tail to remind them that "boys will be boys" is no longer an adequate defense.
