Wow: ROTC Cadets Forced to Wear High Heels to Participate in Feminist Consciousness-Raising
"They were threatened with negative counselling statements and OERs if they didn’t participate. It was pretty much" do this or we’ll kill your career before it even starts.'" "Someone head to IG with this? Pretty sure this was a forced activity." "Worthless ROTC commanders need to get booted for this incompetence. As a combat vet this sickens me and is a setback for women in the military."I blame the high command of the armed forces. There should be rampant resignations over Obama's maladministration -- instead, this cadre of careers throne-sniffers and apple-polishers just keep jockeying to see who can curry more of The Emperor's kind favor.

Also, bluntly, this whole walk a mile in her shoes thing requiring the wearing of heels is REALLY FUCKING SEXIST.
After all, all women only wear heels, right? Right.

I'm guessing this either came from a DoD directive or was pushed forward by someone who can sense the current political climate for promotions and thus wanted an attaboy/girl in the file for initiative blah blah blah.

Even though I visit AoSHQ every day, I don't have it "bookmarked" or "favorited" in my browser!
They way I navigate here, every single time, is by going to Hot Air (which I do have bookmarked), and then going to the right sidebar at Hot Air and clicking on the top entry in "Hot Links," which just happens to be Ace of Spades, because the list is alphabetical.
You might ask why I don't have AoS bookmarked if I come here every day -- am I crazy?
No. There is method to my madness. There are actually two reasons why I don't bookmark it.
First, by forcing myself to go through Hot Air to get here, I first see what Allahpundit and Ed have up, and that usually gives me either a preview of what Ace is going to post, or at a minimum gives me a framework for the narrative of the day's news. You see, because even when Ace doesn't post on the exact same topic as Hot Air, he posts second-level advanced analysis of what the day's zeitgeist is. So if one was a political newcomer visiting AoS as the first news site of the day, one would often be a bit overwhelmed at first, because Ace is playing thee-dimensional chess with the day's memes -- and if you don't even know what those memes are yet, one can take quite a bit of time to get up to speed. So by going to Hot Air, I first get a quick grok of the basics of the day's daily outrage, on a purely factual basis -- and then I click on Ace in the sidebar to get the advanced take on it.
The second reason is more prosaic. Visiting internet political sites is my personal "procrastination of choice," which I do when I need a break from doing work. And if I make getting to my favorite site that much more difficult, even by a little bit, then it helps me keep my nose to the grindstone and get more work done. Having a one-click AoS bookmark would just be too tempting. Think of it as a mild alcoholic keeping some nice bottles of wine in the house, for guests, but locking the cabinet and then putting the key at the bottom of the drawer. The liquor is still there tempting you, but by making it a little bit difficult to reach, you help yourself resist it more often.

From the article I read, the kids (soldiers doesn't seem like the right word to describe the gentlemen in the above picture) had to purchase their own shoes and paint them red.
The guy in the thing I saw said he spent like $12 or something, so I'm guessing they probably went to goodwill or some closeout place.
I, for one, have no idea how much womens shoes cost, but $12 seems a little low.
If not, I'm totally getting scammed on mens shoes.

There were acouple of women of myacquaintance were too tall for heels. For women around 5'9-5'11", heels startmaking them look alittle ridiculous. 6"-6'2"+ women? There aren't that many men out there who are significantly taller than that. Even if you're 6'5" you're not much better than half a head taller. When they wore real heels, it got ridic.

Want to know a weird fact?
Even though I visit AoSHQ every day, I don't have it "bookmarked" or "favorited" in my browser!
<snips>
Having a one-click AoS bookmark would just be
too tempting. Think of it as a mild alcoholic keeping some nice bottles
of wine in the house, for guests, but locking the cabinet and then
putting the key at the bottom of the drawer. The liquor is still there
tempting you, but by making it a little bit difficult to reach, you help
yourself resist it more often.
Posted by: zombie
It's to late for me, my browser has a hotbar with a list of 'favorite visited' sites. Bing, my homepage is first, only because the browser opens with it, AoS is second.
Back to the subjected at hand.
That the SJW's *forced* the ROTC to do this under duress should be enough to force them off campus. Reverse the situation, force the SJW's to dress in full formal ROTC uniform, watch the hilarity ensue.

Agreed. I have a very big soft spot in my heart for tall women. The only disadvantage (if it can be called that) is when you try to dance with them while they're wearing heels. I'm about 6' to 6'1" and I know I have to arc my arm up a lot more to twirl 5'11"+ around than I do 5'6"-5'7" to avoid hitting her in the head withmy arm.That's a pretty minor issue in the general scheme of things, though.

Well is a penis considered a "pre-existing condition" for a male who identifies as "female?"
Because then they couldn't charge you MORE for it.
Heres a better question:
If you son identifies as a girl, does he get the same discount on his drivers insurance a biological female gets over males? And is it transphobic to deny a biological male a "female" discount on his car insurance?

ROTC Cdt./Corporal Alexis Johnson said: The purpose of the event is to create a basis of understanding about sexual violence, stigmas and rape culture in the military as well as in our community and to reinforce standards of behavior, active bystander mentality and to be peer advisers to one's unit and community. The heels represent the rise of sexual assault within our community. Though the heels may feel one-sided, only acknowledging that females suffer the horrors of rape and sexual assault, that is not the case. The event is a synopses of the problem that both men and women suffer in our community and society through the stigmas, rape culture and lack of respect and education.

Yep. An organization rots from the head down .... but I'm not very comforted by the current leadership or the people that are to be led.
In all seriousness, if this is what is happening, then we should really cut the budgets of the military. The US has in the past and can again mobilize when necessary. And during that next period of mobilization we'll have to clean house because clearly the current leadership is not ready for war. Why not just have a smaller house to clean when that day inevitably arrives.

The reason to make ROTC wear high heels and the reason to make students wear hijabs is so that they empathize with and understand what it's like to be a women/muslim is "oppressive" garb and thereby get judged harshly by the bigoted eyes of society.
Or so the SJWs claim.
But here's the thing:
Those same SJWs ALSO (at various points in the past) have claimed that wearing high heels is a mark of oppression, like having bound feet in Imperial China. And also that wearing the hijab is a sign of the subjugation of women. And so, through the decades, in America, people have long fought against and eventually broken the social norms of needing to wear any kind of clothing at all.
So: Nobody forces women to wear high heels these days. And in America, you are also free to NOT wear a hijab if you don't want to.
Which means this:
If you as a women wear high heels in 2015, you do so because you WANT TO because you think it makes you sexy which gives you social power over others (over men, because you have mesmerized them, and over less attractive women, who can't compete with your high-heeled sexiness).
And if you wear a hijab in the US (as many radical Muslim college girls do these days), you do so as a power-statement, a challenge, a declaration of victory-through-minority-status.
Which brings us full circle: Although the ROTC cadets are supposed to be wearing the high heels so they can sympathize with the oppression of being a woman, in fact the act of women wearing high heels is their attempt to gain freedom and social power. So the entire exercise - -or the excuse proferred for it -- is fallacious.
So then we need to dig deeper and ponder: If the given justification for "high heel day" is sefl-evidently false, then what is the REAL justification.
And the answer is: To humiliate conservatives.
ROTC is associated with conservatives. Liberals tend not to sign up for it.
This is playground level "grind your nose in it" consciously implemented social humiliation of the "other." That's all.

Don't know. The problem is that if any of the cadets complains, they will probably lose their scholarship. They could sue, but in these PC times, they'll lose.
I'd guess that the best chance is with some senior who has nothing to lose and the Navy would be taking action to take his scholarship back.

I saw a comment posted by someone who made a false statement regarding Arizona State University Army ROTC. I am the Professor of Military Science for that program. We are having a "Walk a mile in her shoe" event tomorrow in support of the Chief of Staff of the Army guidance to support efforts to stand against sexual violence. This event is not mandatory and we are not wearing our uniforms. There is no retribution for someone choosing not to participate.
I would like to know the name of the individual that posted that information.

You are correct, sir. I had forgotten about that (kind of like Sandhurst). But the American analogue there is OCS right after basic for college graduates, which we do. For high school graduates, there is no college-plus-commission pathway like ROTC or the academies (except for engineers at the Ecole Polytechnique, where everyone is in the corps, but most do not go on active duty afterwards, sort of like VMI or the Citadel). To get a commission in France in any other way, you have to be enlisted first.

all the cop has to say is that he smells marijuana, and bang. no constitutional crisis.
Then when they find illegal guns and not weed, the cop just says his nose must not have been working too well on that day, but they still get the arrest.
I want SCOTUS to rule that "reasonable suspicion" must not only be articulable but also not as vague as "I smelled marijuana" since that relies wholly on the lying nose of the government agent trying to search your vehicle.

Here in the People's Republic, if I'm recalling the ruling correctly, since tiny quantities of marijuana aren't illegal, the old "I smelled weed" excuse isn't probable cause anymore. Any MA peeps know if I'm remembering that right? Hell, I don't do criminal law.

NOooo thats not true.
It's illegal to drive under the influence of marijuana in all 50 states, cops ROUTINELY use the "I smell marijuana" excuse to search your car.
Now yes, if they find a small amount in the car, you'll most likely get off with a ticket or a warning.

Past crimes?? Feminist orthodoxy requires belief that all men are potential rapists and de facto members of an illegitimate and criminal patriarchal rule either overtly or through innate privilege.
In other words, mean were, are, and shall always be guilty. No apology necessary.

Depends. I have several friends who have served jail time for "small amounts of marijuana."
Usually related to a violation of probation. Either not finishing the court ordered "rehab" program, or not paying fines, or pissing dirty on a probation drug test.
But yeah, if you pay quickly and follow the rules, you'll be on probation for a year and can't leave the state without your POs permission, and can get randomly drug tested and/or breathalyzed at any time, but after a year it all goes away.

Posted by: Soona at April 21, 2015 03:52 PM (/HX7u)
Right, but then its not the weed, its something else. Cops will use minor infractions like one wheel gets on the center line for a second to pull over someone they know is a bad guy just to get a look at them, hoping they get something to haul them in on. Weed is like that; its not the infraction, its what else they're trying to accomplish.
Most cops are good guys, but all people have bad days, and all jobs have lousy workers in them. The best answer for that is a really strict and aggressive policy on dealing with bad guys. But self-policing doesn't really work for the cops any more than it does us :/

Posted by: rickb223 at April 21, 2015 03:55 PM (X2+jE)
Correct. It wasn't the weed, it was the other crime which the weed was a lever to bust them for. A little pot by its self, no other crime or reason for the cops to be interested in you (like being abusive or refusing to pull over or having outstanding warrants, etc)? Warning or minor ticket.

Perhaps not easily pussy whipped, but the rot is present in the senior officer corps, but mostly in the junior officer ranks. It's only a matter of time.
I saw it and I retired from that branch in '08.

Yeah, well, then they're not serving jail time for the marijuana. They're serving their original jailtime for the original crime. Probation is not liberty.
Because it's pro-ba-tion.

Posted by: Lea at April 21, 2015 03:58 PM (lIU4e)
Right, the crime itself is minor. But in most states most of the time it will get you in the criminal justice system.
And for a lot of people, it's very difficult to get out.
You need thousands of dollars to pay for fines, fees, and "rehab" (huge scam), a lawyer, a lot of patience, someone to drive you to your community service and "rehab", you need to not drink or smoke weed for an entire year, and you need to talk to your probation officer every time you do anything.
"PO, I want to go to my sisters house next Friday. She's 62 miles away." then they want all of her information, and they notify the local police. Because when you're on probation you lose your right to privacy, so cops can make you piss or breathe in to a breathalyzer at any time. And of course they can search you without a warrant.
Long story short, this minor shit like pot possession is how most people originally get caught up in the criminal justice system.
Posted by: mynewhandle at April 21, 2015 03:59 PM (AkOaV)
If it is reasonable to require cadets to wear high heels, is it also acceptable to require prisoners at Guantanimo to do the same? After all, it might help change the misogynist culture of Islam if some of the most ardent believers were to walk a mile in her shoes.

Oh, sorry I said that wrong.
The probation comes from the marijuana ticket.
You plead guilty, pay a fine, and are then on probation for a year.
If you violate that probation at any point (often times for not having the money to pay for your court ordered 'rehab') then you go to jail.
