Female role in Iraqi prisoner abuse
posted by Adam on 06:20 PM May 6th, 2004
News CJ writes "The cover up has already begun. Even media outlets are allowing General Janis Karpinski a chance to state her innocence. Karpanski is in charge of the prison where naked male Iraqi prisoners of war were humiliated into forced sex simulations and endured female taunting of their genitals. The Army has photographs that show a detainee with wires attached to his genitals. Another shows a dog attacking an Iraqi prisoner. Other photos have piles of naked men bent over with their genitals exposed with a smiling female soldier stands behind them. If you remember how the feminists used Tailhook (an incident where male officers were accused of touching some women) as a national outrage to effect change within the “patriarchal” military, what should be the logical outcome of this mess? If the genders were reversed, the media would still be force feeding us this atrocity, and any male general in charge would already likely be out of power. The media would be demanding a breakdown of the whole chain of power. These Iraqi men are victims of female sexual assault, yet this type of thinking is not part of the dialogue on this matter. Link to pics

The emphasis in bold is my doing, to remind you of how this is most definitely a men's issue, and that the link leads to pics of the torture, so be warned.

She's also a sex offender and a war criminal, and she needs to spend the rest of her life behind bars.

When women and culture hold famle abusers to the same standard as men, perhaps "equality" will occur.

That portrait of female sexual violence against men in Iraq has now given me a reason why I should not take a woman as my wife. True they have more rights, true they have more freedoms, true we are proud of their progress, but they have blackened their hearts and severed the souls of men, turning them into their dildo-burning whipping boys!

Steven, I agree that Wendy McElroy is more of a human rights supporter rather than a supporter of "gender specific rights". In my efforts with VIP/SAFE-NH I have come across and work with many women who are disgusted by the behavior of "anti-male feminists". When I work with men who are victims of Domestic Violence and they speak against ALL women...I remind them that this attitude is no more realistic than female victims who say that ALL men are abusive and horrible monsters. There are many women as well as men who truely believe that all victims deserve assistance and all abusers deserve consequences...regardless of gender!
Often , I simply tell people in a case such as the abuse of the prisoners in Iraq...reverse the genders...then tell me what you think is the right and fair way to react. This woman has no excuse for her behavior and to tell her mother that she was "in the wrong place at the wrong time" is an unacceptable excuse! Will they accept the same excuse from the male soldiers?

Her mother's apparent accceptance of this excuse is a sign, just like most bullies and abusers that their parents excuse away their children's behavior even when it harms the defenseless!

Regardless of gender...Bullies and abusers need consequences...and victims need help!

Also,I take it personally when men curse all women...because if my wife was not willing to support my work including financially, I would not be able to help male victims of Domestic Violence. Without funding for VIP/SAFE-NH she not only supports the 2 of us but also helps to support this organization. If not for her...I could not be available 24/7 for the victims we assist.
I hope that before some men condemn all women...they stop and think about being condemned because of the actions of other men...
as I say,reverse the genders and then think about it.
Thanks again Steven for adding your perspective.

The fact that General Janis Karpinski and her female subordinates are able to get away with the torture of men is nothing new. This same stuff happens in American prisons under the watchful eye of female guards all the time.

The real change that is taking place is that American culture has now embraced the open practice of females torturing and abusing men in public.

The implications of this fact are profound. It means that in the workplace females will become more hostile and abusive of men. I've already observed a dramatic increase in the practice of women objectifying and abusing males for their own pleasure in the workplace, and it is understood that the males will not make a peep. Doing so places the male at fault and will subject the person to being fired.

So, get used to the new level of meanness and cruelty that feminists will be leveling at males over the next few years in the workplace, schools, in our prisons, and in public. It is now the accepted norm, and it isn’t going to change till 100’s of thousands of more men band together in solidarity and demand an end of the hostilities encouraged and sponsored by feminist.

This essay was written before the Abu Ghraib scandal, but I think it gives insight into the general attitide of the IWF regarding female responsibility. Here's the last paragraph: "In the end, we should expect women to understand this lesson as well. Women in power should be held to the same standards as men, and should exercise their authority with a clear-eyed responsibility. Women should be able to wield force when necessary. That is real power. And it is a game with gender-neutral rules."

It's worth noting the popularity of Boadicea, the bloodthirsty queen, who so brutally revolted against the Romans in ancient Britain. The essay doesn't state it, but Boadicea once said, "This is a woman's resolve. As for the men, they may live and be slaves!" Boadicea, incidentally, is revered almost to the point of sainthood by the burgeoning women's branch of the Aryan supremacist movement.

There's been evidence that the Iraqis have, in some cases, treated female prisoners of war better than their male counterparts. As a result of the atrocities committed at Abu Ghraib, however, that situation may change. In fact, we're already seeing signs of this.

Al-Sadr is a radical Muslim cleric. A recent Fox News article on his rejection of Bush's apology states, "one of al-Sadr's senior aides told worshippers in Basra that anyone capturing a female British soldier can keep her as a slave."

As a side point, it's worth bearing in mind that, though the person in charge was a woman, men were also engaged in carrying out the debasement and torture at Abu Ghraib. In addition, some of the victims of debasement and torture by Americans and Brits in this war have been women. The problem is society's historical and current failure to hold women to the same level of responsibility as men. However, anyone, who believes that historically "it's women who do the torturing," is either woefully ignorant or utterly delusional. I don't doubt that there is at least as high a percantage of women as men, who would like to engage in torture, but society has more often given men the opportunity in war. Dr. Mengele comes readily to mind.

A female soldier who has appeared in widely published photograph leading a naked Iraqi prisoner by a leash has been charged with maltreating a detainee

Private First Class Lynndie England, 21, will face an Article 32 hearing, the military equivalent of a grand jury, to determine whether she will be ordered to face court martial, the army said.

"She was charged with four different specifications - engaging in a conspiracy to maltreat Iraqi detainees, assault on Iraqi detainees on multiple occasions, committing acts prejudicial to good order and discipline and that bring discredit upon the armed forces, and committed an indecent act," said Lieutenant Colonel Marie Battaglia, an army spokesman.

She was the seventh soldier to be charged in the scandal.

England, a pregnant 21-year-old Army reservist with the 372nd Military Police Company, served in Iraq and was recently sent to Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

The human resources administrator is not in detention and is performing duties at a headquarters company for a military police brigade at the base, the officials said.

As the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal made headlines, photographs of England inside the Abu Ghraib prison have been widely shown in the news media.

One showed her giving a thumbs-up sign in front of naked prisoners.

Her family lawyer, Roy Hardy, says the infamous photographs in which she appears are not proof of anything.

"The pictures don't tell the full story, you don't know what was going on behind her, beside her, you don't know why the photos were taken, you don't know anything except you have a picture."

Another showed her holding a leash attached to a naked, prostrate prisoner's neck.

If convicted at a court-martial, penalties could include reprimand, pay forfeiture, confinement and a punitive discharge, Fort Bragg officials said.

During the Somalia debacle a teenaged boy caught looting was beaten to death by Canadian troops. This was the worst black eye on Canada's international image in the entire twentieth century. Canada's elite airbourne division was disbanded over it when photographic evidence of prisoner abuse hit the media.

Here are the lessons learned...first elite close combat killers and jailers have two VERY different skill sets. Using soldiers as jailers is simply a mistake...they are not properly trained for it.

Second (and Amnesty International used to know this very well before they were commandeered into being more concerned about Islamic kafias)torture simply does not work. The regimes that give up the practice of torturing prisoners do so when they realize that torture does not work, not when they realize that torture is nasty...they already know that.

Why does torture not work? Because of the simple dynamics of the physical and psycological effects of adrenaline. Adrenaline initially induces fear. If you manage to break your victim with the threat of torture, that's as good as it gets.

However, if you mutliate, humiliate, or induce hyperthreshold pain in your victim that fear transforms into RAGE (basic fight/flight response of adrenaline). Then your victim will hit you back in the only way he can...by not giving you what you want. History is just jam packed with stories that will verify what I say.

The best approach to getting information (which may indeed reduce needless bloodshed in a war situation) is what the KGB used to do...tag team interrogation combined with sleep depravation...it will break anyone in a matter of days and even if you are caught doing it you are not going to look like such a bad guy.

All torturers make the same mistake. They assume that everyone else is as cowardly as they are and almost invariably inflict on their victim the thing that they themselves fear most. Dishing it out to someone who is in no position to fight back is cowardice...plain and simple.

(No offence intended Thundercloud). The Huron and Pawnee tribes were generally viewed with contempt by their neighbours because in those tribes men tortured the war captives, In most other tribes, that task was turned over to women. Fronteersmen who were aware of this would insult male captors by calling their tortures "the actions of a squaw".

As Rudyard Kipling said "If you're wounded and left on Afganistan's plains, and the women crawl out to carve up what remains, just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains, and go to your God like a soldier"

It does not supprise me that a woman participated in the sexual humiliation of male captives. This was done to people from a culture that deems revenge to be a sacred duty. This will not go well for Americans now taken captive...particularly women.

When that happens, it will of course be used as feminazi propaganda.

In terms of the sexual humiliation of captives as well as in terms of rape I believe in a simple principle...if an innocent woman is out in the woods picking berries and gets mauled by a rogue grizzly...that animal must be brought down.

If a woman gets mauled while she is baiting a chain tethered bear...saying that this is evidence of the bear's evil nature is ridiculous.

Domestic Violence Laws vs. Abu Ghraib atrocities (Score:0)

"The cover up has already begun. ...naked male Iraqi prisoners of war were humiliated into forced sex simulations and endured female taunting of their genitals. The Army has photographs that show a detainee with wires attached to his genitals."

"If you remember how the feminists used Tailhook (an incident where male officers were accused of touching some women) as a national outrage to effect change within the “patriarchal” military, what should be the logical outcome of this mess? If the genders were reversed, the media would still be force feeding us this atrocity, and any male general in charge would already likely be out of power."


America is a great and free land that has historically provided freedom to millions of people seeking the safety of its shores. America is also a land that has not only routinely denied justice to targeted groups of people, it is a land that still uses its laws to target and persecute groups of people to this day. Currently all men in america are the big time targets of america's hate. What happened at Abu Ghraib is no isolated incident, no aberration, it is the norm of modern american justice and one need look no further than all the man-hating injustice that has come out of today's domestic violence industry to overwhelmingly prove that point. Although all the specific tortures of Abu Ghraib may not be repeated in exact detail in america's gender feminist, domestic violence industry gulag, the ideology, the modus operandi are overwhelmingly the same, (if not worse) than that used at Abu Ghraib.

The individuals running today's Domestic Violence Industry are masters of torture, intimidation, humiliation, insults, and abuse of innocent men. In fact the domestic violence industry could give lessons in inhumanity and cruelty to those "G.I. amateurs" at Abu Ghraib Although the monsters running america's domestic violence industry, and the batterer's programs are not physically as torturing as Sadaam's henchmen, or our own Abu Ghraib G.I’s, they certainly are still in a class with those man-hating torturers.

The man-hating bigots in america’s domestic violence industry are routinely more concerned about getting a confession for a conjured up offense, than they are about fact finding and establishing actually truth, then dealing with that set of circumstances. The debilitating effects of that hate stays with the innocent male victims of that hate for the rest of their lives. Those sadists at the domestic violence industry are masters of a mental cruelty that has a more long lasting and deleterious effect on its male victims than most physical torture.

I have no doubts that all of the females implicated at Abu Ghraib will have no trouble finding jobs in the multi-billion dollar VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) domestic violence industry just as soon as "american, gender feminist justice" rationalizes away all their misbehavior, and gives them a token “slap on the wrist.” After all, the domestic violence industry teaches that it's all about “power and control,” and in their eyes that’s a “Patriarchal” (male) prerogative only. According to them, men use “power and control” over women so all those females involved at Abu Ghraib must have been “helpless victims” of the "male patriarchal system." Accordingly, they must have actually been “battered women” who were “unable to flee” the “male cycle of violence.” Please notice all the domestic violence industry terms in quotes that are the same terms used in women's studies programs and classes.

Yes, the gender feminists have invented and redefined language to give specific meanings to all those words. You will find that double speak, femi-babble throughout all the "women's industries." I understand what they are trying to say in those rationalizations, but I just keep coming back to those pictures and thinking, "what about all the big smiles prominently displayed on the faces of those females (and males)? They looked like they were actually proud and enjoying what they were doing. ...and isn’t this an all volunteer Army?

Oh yes, “male power and control” is everywhere so “female victimhood” is everywhere and females can never be responsible for the violence they commit. I forgot how that always works under VAWA’s (femi-babble).

Using the Duluth Wheel and other Domestic Violence power and control models it is just impossible that these women can be abusers. If they were labeled as abusers, that would throw off the entire philosophy of today's domestic violence industry, and we can't have that. America would then have to admit they've been torturing innocent men (their own citizens) for the last decade or so under the man-hating domestic violence laws of VAWA.

After we complete the investigation of Abu Ghraib in Iraq, we need to look very hard at every domestic violence case in america brought under VAWA, then go back and incarcerate the hate monger bigots who abused all those america men, while violating their constitutional and human rights. After we finish that, we really need to prosecute all those outlaw, elected, gender feminist representatives that authored and lobbied for VAWA in the 1st place, knowing full well they were contributing to the waging of america’s unlawful hate war on Father’s and men.

Considering the lack of media coverage of the hate war that is clandestinely waged against all Father's men in the name of gender feminism I fear we will not soon see coverage of the real atrocities perpetrated against our own male citizens (by our own government) anytime soon.

Gender feminists are the real terrorist enemy of free human beings everywhere on planet earth as evidenced by the atrocities perpetrated against men at Abu Ghraib, and in america.

You feel exactly as I do.

I am a victim of a lying vindictive ex who used the DV industry to humiliate, denigrate and punish me as a means of disposal after she was caught cheating. Without any real evidence of abuse - just words and a few tears, I was denied bail for over a week, given a year long restraining order that removed me from my property, my name published in local paper, forced in programs and probation. In jail I was chained, strip searched, de-loused, and thrown into a cell with a convicted felon on arraignment alone. She got to maintain her victimhood in out community and made me the monster. Her sister works in the DV industry. I would like to add that real violent incidents of a non-domestic nature were not treated the same as my mine. Me, and a guy who fired a gun at someone were the only ones denied bail.

My mistake - she accused men before I was in her life of violence. I should have been long gone, but I believed her lies....

Trust me, modern women do not care about justice, they only care that they can do whatever they want - whenever they want without any accountability. The lesbians in media and socila services have dedicated their pathetic lives in criminizing men. Accountability is a man's burden now.

Welcome brother.

"The lesbians in media and socila services have dedicated their pathetic lives in criminizing men."

Yes, in Los Angeles We have the Los Angeles Police Dept., but everybody knows that LAPD really stands for Lesbian Ambassadors Promoting Deceit, when it comes to domestic violence laws.

"Trust me, modern women do not care about justice, they only care that they can do whatever they want - whenever they want without any accountability."

We do think alike. A long time ago I said that the number of men knowing the truth about gender feminist tyranny will grow, because we live in a society that is dedicated to make all men criminals and all women victims so the wealth can be redistrbiuted under the Red Feminism that is the law of the land in man-hating places like Massachusetts, California, Colorado, etc.

The woman is a war criminal and a sex criminal, and should be tried accordingly. The feminist apologists for her behavior should consider that ANY apology for her reprehensible behavior will serve as ammunition against the United States by terrorist groups. The rush to excuse her behavior undermines the ideal of gender neutral justice and places lives in jeopardy. The same goes for all of the war criminals involved, male or female.

As for any naive notion that females are more nurturing than males, I believe the broadcast news of these sordid photographs have exploded that pathetic myth.

I didn't take what he said as saying that we should judge all women based on the acitons of this one, however giving this female a pass does encourage international terrorism as well as terrorism by females right here in America.

The CA Attrorney General Bill Lochyer reports, that in the 10 year time period from 1988 to 1998 the number of women arrested for domestic violence went up 392%. And this during a Draconian hate war against Fathers and men employing tactics like the primary aggressor doctrine. Each year in that 10 year period the rate increased as well. Clearly the hate war agianst men through hate laws such as the CA domestic violence laws are empowering to females to terrorize and batter the heck out of innocent men.

I for one am sick of it. I made the T-shirt below about a month or two ago. I think Mother's Day would be a good day to ask, "What Can Women Do to Stop Their Violence Against Men," after all the Domestic Violence Industry already targets Father's Day to ask "What Men Can Do to Stop Their Violence Against Women."

Ah yes, the tired old "But not ALL women are like that" canard.

And, not all men are rapists, abusers, misogynists, or patriarchs - but we are all treated in this culture like we are, and I have yet to hear someone toss in a "But not ALL men are like that" in any discussion of the evils and excesses of men.

It amazes me how that stupid and useless phrase pops up every time men attempt to demolish the mythology of perfection and total innocence which has allowed women to get away with literal murder. "Andrea Yates serially murdered 5 children" - "Yes, BUT NOT ALL women are like that."

It has nothing to do with anything - SOME women are, and some of us men are going to keep hammering on that fact until we make some sort of dent in the unbelievable wall of cultural denial that women are every bit as capable of truly evil acts as men are, and that men are every bit as capable of nobility and self-sacrifice as women are.

Who is "judging" all women? The putative superior virtue of the "oppressed" is being impugned. The numerous pictures of Private England serve to undermine certain popular feminist canards in such a way as to make them forever beneath contempt:

That women are always more oppressed than men in every conceivable circumstance.

FALSE: the photos show a female oppressor, a female war criminal, a female sex abuser, a female torturer of men who enjoys her work.

That men are responsible for all the evil of the world, and women are their oppressed victims.

NONSENSE: look at the photographs.

The desperate attempt to explain away the actions of this purportedly singular female, this anomaly among a population of unilaterally oppressed nurturing females, who, according to feminist dogma, owe their solidarity to the trans-cultural, trans-historical "fact" of their oppression, undermine's the United State's attempt to atone for this nightmare, and is placing lives in jeopardy. How? By promulgating the insulting myth that females can do no wrong, when the is stunning photographic evidence that they are every bit as capable of evil as the men whom they claim are universally and uniquely responsible for it.

The government ought to consider ordering England's lawyer to keep silent in public, as a matter of national security. Protestations that the photographic evidence are out of context won't pacify the Iraqi's, and also serve to undermine the sincerity of U.S. apologies. Still, it pales before the chorus of feminist goodwill towards Pvt. England.

Warble makes a good point:
The fact that General Janis Karpinski and her female subordinates are able to get away with the torture of men is nothing new. This same stuff happens in American prisons under the watchful eye of female guards all the time.

I had forgotten this. It's not an isolated incident. My brothers are police officers; one of them used to work as a corrections officer. These things happen. So, no one doesn't generalize from an isolated example; one generalizes from the numerous examples that abound.

Why can we easily see the violations of human beings in one set of images, but miss it in others? What if the Iraqi men had been forced to smile, could we be convinced that there was a newly formed "publishing and film production" company in Baghdad instead of sexual abuse and humiliation being perpetrated?

Oh geezus, I hate anti-porn feminists, they make the worst possibly cases for themselves when they say dumbass crap like this. Yeah, there are some valid anti-porn arguments, but not found here. To compare a woman who voluntary acts in porn to someone who is being tortured is idiotic - for several reasons, as another poster pointed out. Those "violations of human beings" are hardly violations if one consents to it! I know of several pornography companies that only showcase acts between husbands and wives or, at least, significant others. Which could bring us to the idea of "all heterosexual sex is rape" scenario, another stupid feminist idea.
"Forced" is not the same phrase as "offered money for"

Finally, the actions at Abu Ghraib could not be sold in the US as any type of porn, no matter the gender/sexual orientation of the persons portrayed - the US DOES frown upon actual torture, death and sexual acts with minors portrayed in pornography - something that apparently the female soliders there didn't!

As we used to say in the '60's, this is a radicalizing event, i.e. an event that educates as to the true nature of things. These photos strike a blow for common sense. They show as words cannot that women are not the innocents they so often claim to be. Place them in the same circumstances as men and they are every bit as capable of shameful, violent behavior. It'll be interesting to see how they talk their way out of this one. Karpinski has already claimed to be "shocked, shocked" and that she had no idea what was happening.
