... Lt. Gen. Michael Borgschulte, who currently oversees the Marine Corps' personnel directorate, has been nominated to replace Vice Adm. Yvette Davids as superintendent of the academy, the Pentagon formally announced Friday.

Davids was the first woman to head the service's storied academy. Meanwhile, Borgschulte will be the first Marine to head the academic institution in its 180-year history.

Davids' tenure at the academy was shorter than usual and, in that time, the institution had become a focus for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his campaign against topics and materials that the Trump administration considers "woke." ...

that the Trump administration considers "woke." ...

Woke meaning that women are not capable of serving in positions of authority.

The Trump administration has ousted several top military leaders in recent months, including Navy Adm. Lisa Franchetti, who was the first woman to be chief of naval operations, and Adm. Linda Fagan, who was commandant of the Coast Guard and the first female officer to lead a branch of the armed forces.

Republicans cannot accept women as leaders.

Trump demonstrates his disdain for DEI every day through his actions> He is the poster boy for the anti discrimination laws that have been passed. A racist, migynist, xenophobic piece of filth who would best serve our country through resignatiom or impeachment

I knew someone who was wildly misogynistic all his life, he simply saw women as second class citizens, and not deserving of being in power over men. He needed someone to hate, and half the human population were his to hate and denigrate. Of course, one cannot be a fundamentalist Catholic or Mormon or Muslim and not be wildly misogynistic, There is a reason the second that the Democrats nominate a woman to be President the Republican Party jumps for joy...America is, thanks to its Fundamentalism, home to the worst kinds of misogyny.

I'll wager Drinky Pete had a big sister or two who would knock the stuffing out of him, make him dress up for tea parties and gave him dirty looks at the dinner table. And then there's that bloody Megyn Kelly that he had to put up with for a while. No wonder Pete hates women...

Misogyny is baked into all the Abrahammic religions.

The central miracle of Christianity is a miracle rape baby, for example.

"Trump is the manifestation of the conservative agenda to turn this country into a Christian, God fearing, gun loving, white male dominated nation. The Trump administration could not have occurred without this foundation that took decades to create. Too many years of allowing conservatives to slowly chip away at our democracy have incurred this beast of a president, and you can expect it to continue."

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Are we believing
Black man ray
Are we not happy
In our own way
And we the people
Who reason why
Forever change
As time goes by

Yes, yes, I could be wrong
Why, why, should I pretend
God only knows in the end

Are we believing
The heavenly survive
Faith the future
Big life on their side
And we the people
Who can but try
Forever learn
As time goes by

Yes, yes, I could be wrong
Why, why, should I pretend
God only knows in the end
...

There's been various shows in pop culture where in a reboot, a character that was a man is re-cast as a woman. Or a white character is now a non-white.

The only people who get mad about that are Republicans, Libertarians, and "Independents."

Because you know "men are being replaced."

Yeah Hitachi invented that technology in 1968.

Cave women in 10,000 BCE invented that technology. Hitachi just made it better.

Shame a woman commandant is so threatening to the Secretary of Drunkfense. Maybe he wouldn't feel so emasculated if he hadn't taken a job as a secretary.
