This is sadly very true and it starts at the very top. For years Marine generals have have created a pervasive culture of misogyny thru words & policy. Marine boot camp is only non-integrated one in DoD. Every other branch has figured it out, ONLY reason USMC hasn't is sexism Marine generals have spent countless hours testifying before Congress about inferiority of women Marines. When forced to allow women in combat roles, the tests & quals for those roles became much tougher overnight

Currently waiting 2 hrs at VA for some x-rays. Guess I'll live tweet some of the shit I over hear

First up, couple of old guys (one wearing USMC Vietnam hat, other wearing VFW) talking about Charlottesville "Only one way to solve this statue situation (Gen Lee), & that's to set up some snipers. Take out 3-4 of these people wanting to tear it down, that'll end it real quick"

"Mm hmm" nodding head in agreement
