Women being blamed for being victims of sexual assault because they...... exist in the presence of men.

“Hegseth has blamed sexual assault in the military on ‘equality,’ claiming that the issue was ‘exacerbated’ by letting women enlist in the first place.”

Hegseth can go a fuck a cactus.

ghostofnorris.bsky.social•85 days ago

I assumed he had already.

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•85 days ago

I’m not going to check his nether regions for prickers.

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

😂

doyouhaveaflag.bsky.social•85 days ago

Sideways

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

YES!

porkchoptbp.bsky.social•85 days ago

I mean, give him another drink and he'll probably try.

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•85 days ago

It would serve him right!

sugarhead.bsky.social•85 days ago

Me to Hegseth while looking at cactus:

"Go for it, Champ."

richp86.bsky.social•85 days ago

Better yet, vice versa.

klouw.bsky.social•83 days ago

If we put women in robes and hijabs what would their excuse be? Men are such wusses. Weak as shit.

vanillaghosthouse.bsky.social•85 days ago

Hegseth can eat a bag of dicks just all the bags of the dicks

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

💯

In other news, burglary blamed on "homeowner owning valuable things the burglar wanted."

sonofjam.bsky.social•84 days ago

"If I'm not supposed to rape then why women?!"

gloriaprosperi.bsky.social•85 days ago

Bye Hegseth 👋 👎

4B revival: movement gains second wind following US Election

The 4B movement gained its name due to the 4 rules beginning with a ‘B’ sound in Korean. No sex with men (bisekseu), no child-rearing (bichulsan), no dating men (biyeonae), and no marriage with men (bihon).

Please listen to Korean and Trans voices objecting to amplifying a fringe radfem TERF ideology that used to go out of its way to harass and doxx queer and trans individuals. The history of 4B on WoMAD is absolutely problematic.

theladyred.bsky.social•84 days ago

can you give me a link please?

minjungkim.bsky.social•84 days ago

The pinned video on my profile has the receipts of various hate and harassment campaigns enacted by 4B on womad.

theladyred.bsky.social•84 days ago

thx, I'll take a look

desireevalenzuela.bsky.social•85 days ago

It looks somewhat different in the US; older women, married/partnered women, and mothers are also participating. There's a strong emphasis on supporting women-owned businesses and women artists, artisans, and tradespeople. TERFs get shouted down and ostracized. It's definitely growing every day.

theladyred.bsky.social•85 days ago

awesome! I'm definitely in support!

dd1963.bsky.social•85 days ago

Narcissists gotta gaslight, it's what they do.

lollioness.bsky.social•85 days ago

Always the woman's fault, men are never expected to control themselves. They should be thankful that we only want equality and not revenge.

unfazedgoat.bsky.social•85 days ago

Where did the guy grow up, in a dark cave where he never saw women?

misskachoob.bsky.social•85 days ago

My mother encouraged me to quit the armed forces because she feared for my safety. I quit to please her, but at the time I did not understand her concerns. Now, I realize she probably saved me a world of hurt.

jkdanthonyian10.bsky.social•85 days ago

Let me guess: if they put women in burqas men won’t be tempted amirite?

drunkratel.bsky.social•85 days ago

Right-wing men are the weakest men.

warmwestwind.bsky.social•85 days ago

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

edualc1990.bsky.social•85 days ago

😡😡😡

lynnvar.bsky.social•85 days ago

That's about right.🤬

timmadison.bsky.social•85 days ago

Right, so these men lack the baseline self-control not to sexually assault women who are around them, but it's cool to arm these dudes and put them in charge of protecting our nation?

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

This has been the way since the beginning of time, sadly.

timmadison.bsky.social•85 days ago

Depressingly true.

lauriebell.bsky.social•85 days ago

I mean, fuck, ya'll know we just can't help ourselves, so of course it's your fault.

marnel.bsky.social•85 days ago

Stupid stupid

tullymcq.bsky.social•85 days ago

…but who would he assault if women weren’t in the military? 🤔

cashhungwell.bsky.social•85 days ago

His family members? Coworkers? Nuns?

kittykittymewmew.bsky.social•85 days ago

Straight out of the asshole misogynist playbook

rumblydad.bsky.social•85 days ago

If you were to distill the darkest parts of the patriarchy into a single person, Hegseth is what you’d get.

sykesmiddleman.bsky.social•85 days ago

This guy needs a lesson in history

What did Regimental Camp Followers do during battle?
They loaded guns for their men and hauled supplies

Look through crew muster books from the Navy
How many women and children do you find?
Pre mid Victorian days, the answer was lots for the same reason as above

nycke1975.bsky.social•85 days ago

Wonder if that's going to work in today's reality.

I guess men really think they got shit in control since the election loss.

Maybe it's time we lick our wounds and remind them who the fuck they're dealing with. Cuz I think they forgot.

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

Agreed.

johninnj.bsky.social•85 days ago

Or it could mean he has no problem with gay sex.

clorindawelling.bsky.social•85 days ago

So I wonder what the excuse was before women were allowed to enlist?

purrfectsquare.bsky.social•85 days ago

The men couldn’t help themselves because they’d been separated from women for so long. It’s the woman’s fault if she’s there and the woman’s fault if she’s not there. 🤷‍♀️

clorindawelling.bsky.social•85 days ago

Oh I call it lack of control of themselves.

sincitycyclops.bsky.social•85 days ago

Probably blames his alcoholism on liquor stores and grocery stores for being too close and having too much alcohol available.

aray208.bsky.social•85 days ago

Those liquor bottles were asking for it, with those twist off caps!

gauty7.bsky.social•85 days ago

The sad reality is that almost half the women in the US voted for this.

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

Some of whom I know. They fell victim to the lies and misinformation about "transing" kids in school and the economy.

yogaleigh.bsky.social•85 days ago

I'm pretty sure their dream is to change the law so men are allowed to force themselves on any woman any time; when they talk abt ending rape that's what they mean. So this doesn't surprise me

morey000.bsky.social•85 days ago

What were you wearing?
Uh… army fatigues.
Ya know, some men find those irresistible. Have you considered a burkah?

jaklow.bsky.social•85 days ago

Fuck that pig. He needs to pray that he never gets in the vicinity of my daughters

chicobearsfan76.bsky.social•85 days ago

Let’s not blame the men for crying out loud

goddessofpeace8.bsky.social•79 days ago

@POTUS we are calling on you to publish the ERA now! You have the authority, responsibility, and opportunity to certify this critical protection ahead of the Trump admin. Let the ERA be your legacy. #BidenPublishTheERA #ERANow @USNatArchives @FLOTUS @VP https://BidenPublishTheERA.org

duvnal.bsky.social•85 days ago

The argument, "gathering emotionally immature men, tearing down their moral compas and priming them to kill for the State and then expecting them not to rape their colleagues is unreasonable" raises other issues about how military indoctrination is handled.

cjl8305.bsky.social•85 days ago

This man without control of himself would be in charge of the millions in DOD? That's crazy!

wearingitwell.bsky.social•85 days ago

I'm confused... has Hegseth been nominated to run our military or the Taliban's?

marcpatriot.bsky.social•85 days ago

You can’t deny the logic; if there are no women around then there are no women to be sexually assaulted by men. I suppose the same “logic“could be applied universally except, you know, women comprise more than half the population.

4theluvofmorality.bsky.social•85 days ago

Because in “Trump’s” World, Men are accountable for NOTHING! It’’s “Someone else’s” fault”, ALWAYS!

jdinjc.bsky.social•85 days ago

Or maybe he should just take ownership of the things that he’s done, get some help and deal with it. He’s just like Trump blames everyone else.

imperiojp.bsky.social•85 days ago

yeah... I make things, some things have a hole, some things have a prong that fits in that hole, it saves time to refer to them as male and female because people "get it" quickly. Wish we weren't in this situation when referring to actual human beings who might have access to nuclear codes. 🤬

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

Same

madamepsychosis9.bsky.social•85 days ago

fr. I know from experience. thank you for speaking truth 💙 took me a long time to not blame myself

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

Same. And I am sorry you experienced this 💙

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•85 days ago

Those poor men!
Having the irresistible temptation of women around to rape.

sparrowjess12.bsky.social•85 days ago

And yet the Nazi generals believed the U.S. was the force we were because we weren’t afraid to use women in our armed forces.

ferruzaxp.bsky.social•85 days ago

That's a plank in the GOP platform, yes?

kzcomments.bsky.social•85 days ago

The man has a viagra addiction...

bellarossa.bsky.social•85 days ago

They always have an excuse for not taking responsibility for their own behavior. Perpetrators act like they’re strong but they are truly weak human beings.

alirose25.bsky.social•85 days ago

“Lead him not into temptation” because he is not man enough to control his actions.

lov4all.bsky.social•85 days ago

"Exacerbated the problem"

So he admits there is, indeed, a problem.

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yeah, he just won't admit that it's men like him.

stand-up.bsky.social•85 days ago

The problem with women in male dominated careers... is...
WE WOMEN WON'T LET THEM RAPE US AT WORK ! We must stop giving the good jobs to rapist and sexual predators instead of to the hardworking, well deserving women!!!!

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

Exactly! Especially the presidency.

carogonza.bsky.social•85 days ago

Always. We grow up being told to be modest and careful. Men should be raised being told don't fucking rape.

glorialynn.bsky.social•85 days ago

I am so sick & tired of these fundamentalist evangelical Christians with their Neanderthal beliefs. Men shouldn't be so rapey! They should learn to control themselves.

lauremiller.bsky.social•85 days ago

Nothing new.

jeffreygl.bsky.social•85 days ago

Makes perfect sense. He wouldn’t have taken that drink either if it wasn’t so obviously in front of him. It’s the alcohols fault for being there, not his!

strangebrickdroog.bsky.social•85 days ago

similar to the “well, what was she wearing” argument

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

They NEVER hold the men accountable.

When he gonna find out black people are honest to God citizens now?

eclectictastessa.bsky.social•85 days ago

It's pretty insulting to men, too, like, just because *you* have zero self-control, Hegseth, don't go trying to lump the rest of us in with you as a defense.

lively148.bsky.social•85 days ago

Hesgeth personifies what is wrong in the Misogynist world. Attitudes that excuse their actions because they cannot form honest, loving relationships. He is unqualified, anywhere, for anything.

luciferda.bsky.social•85 days ago

The problem is that he exists! 💙✊️

randy007.bsky.social•85 days ago

I call BULLSHIT!😂

jillybean17.bsky.social•85 days ago

Whether drinking or assaulting women, its clear that he needs some major therapy to deal with impulse control.

adelpreore.bsky.social•85 days ago

Sounds like a self-control and moral issue

paws4justice.bsky.social•85 days ago

Self defense laws should be expanded that if any woman feels threatened (which is often) she can take defensive measures to protect herself and not be charged with any consequences.

lindabean.bsky.social•85 days ago

You mean like "stand your ground" laws that awful people have been using to do awful things to others because they were "scared"? Hmmmmm you might just have something here...maybe women need to look into where their states stand on this.

ctkatz.bsky.social•85 days ago

pete hegseth sounds like someone who really enjoyed that ronduh santis ad.

you know the one I'm talking about.

raewallco.bsky.social•85 days ago

“If women didn’t go places or do things or say words, men wouldn’t have to assault them!”
-Pete Hegseth

sarahironside.bsky.social•85 days ago

This feels like it is a real quote.

raewallco.bsky.social•85 days ago

It really does… 😞

vsil1952.bsky.social•85 days ago

Hagsbreath can take turns with BJ Vance banging the couch.

mikedodge755.bsky.social•85 days ago

Guys like Hegseth need to spend a session with Lorena Bobbitt.

seradawn.bsky.social•85 days ago

Same as it ever was ...

jonrademacher.bsky.social•85 days ago

The interesting confession here is that he is bi-sexual. If he means that he only makes the problem WORSE by letting women in, he is implying he also did it to men in the military before then. Pretty gross, Pete.
