Australia Is All Worked Up About Rape In The Military

Whenever you put young men and women together, you get sexual harassment and sexual tension. If you add privacy and alcohol to the equation, you get rape. When men can, they rape (unless they’re frightened or particularly moral). If you don’t want women to get raped in the military, don’t have women in the military. If you want women in the military, you are going to have to put up with a certain amount of rape.

Australia is all worked up about rape in the military but there’s no mention in the media that if you force the military to admit women, you are going to have needless sexual tension and rape. The military does not want to admit women. It destroys efficiency and group cohesion. They have been forced to admit women by the politicians.

Steve Sailer examines the hysteria about rape in the U.S. military. Sailer discusses the Army coach fired for not recruiting enough accused rapists.

Sailer wrote: You would assume that the Jameis Winston case would have been a huge story in the New York Times all fall with lots of long think pieces about the Meaning of It All. After all, the prestige press has been getting worked up recently over Rape Culture on Campus and in the Military and the like. But it has been slow to delve much into this particular story about the star of the #1 team beyond laconic news accounts like this one because it runs into other social concerns: promoting black quarterbacks, and the worry that the woman is white.

In contrast, the NYT was all over a story a year or two ago about an obscure white college quarterback accused of rape in some place like Montana or Wyoming. He wound up acquitted. (Reinstated as starting quarterback the day after his acquital, he’s thrown for 28 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions this year for Montana, which will be in a small college playoff game on Saturday against Coastal Carolina.)

And of course the NYT ran a couple of dozen stories promoting the hoax that a black stripper (who, by the way, was just convicted of murder) had been gang raped by the white Duke lacrosse team.

There’s a similar case at the Naval Academy where three black football players are accused of raping a female student, presumably white, but that has gotten some Serious Attention because that can be filed under the Sexual Assault Epidemic in the Military category (talk about bogus trend stories …). And the alleged rapists are not shattering stereotypes by being passing quarterbacks.
