| Navy Will Inspect Its Bathrooms for 'Degrading' Images of Women |
| 2013-06-19 |
| [CNSNEWS] In line with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's order for troops to have their workplaces searched for "degrading or offensive" materials -- part of an attempt to curb sexual assault in the military -- the Navy will inspect even its bathrooms. While what's degrading or offensive is open to interpretation, the material can include song lyrics and "inappropriate cartoons." In a memo sent on June 13, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered that all sailors, Marines, cadets and civilian employees have their workplaces searched by June 28. The "comprehensive visual inspections" of the workspaces conducted by commanding officers will "ensure they are free from materials that create a degrading, hostile, or offensive work environment." Such items are "contraband," the memo says. According to the order, "Workplaces include but are not limited to: Office buildings, facilities, naval vessels, aircraft, government vehicles, hangars, ready rooms, conference rooms, individual offices, cubicles, storage rooms, tool and equipment rooms, workshops, break rooms, galleys, recreation areas, Navy and Marine Corps Exchanges, and heads." |

| #17 Just remember the KIA ratio of men vs women. If the latter are going to be used to dictate the 'terms of service' they'd better get that ratio in line. Extend the UCMJ to Congresscritters and suddenly you'll see a remarkable change in attitude and behavior expected of others. |

| #12 Disagree, Steve. Presence of women in all aspects of life does not justify feminizing all aspects of life. This isn't about respecting women. It's about emasculating men. That's bad for men, women and for society. |

| #11 I actually agree with this to a point. It isn't the Army of 70 years ago. If we're going to have men and women working together then we shouldn't have offensive posters, etc plastered everywhere. It's the same idea here at the hospital -- people have to work together, so don't do schtupid stuff to offend them. Since it's the military, of course, the order has to be spelled out in great detail. Since we're dealing with politicians, we can't rely on common sense. |

| #9 What's next? Searching lockers, hard drives, wallets? And who decides what is inappropriate? How about a picture of your wife in a bikini? After all, that would offend some people, since it promotes traditional marriage. |
