Lynndie England : Quintessential Feminist
posted by Thomas on 01:38 PM May 13th, 2004
News Looks like America's feminist darling, Lynndie England, just keeps getting in deeper and deeper. I saw part of her interview last night on the news, and the reporter handled her with kid gloves, feeding her opportunities to justify her actions. Among other things, she claimed that she was just following orders. Well, now it comes out that she was recorded having sex with numerous partners, in some cases in front of Iraqi prisoners. How many people believe that she was just following orders to have sex in front of numerous viewers including prisoners, who had no choice in the matter?

I can understand the argument for refusing to release the new photos and videos to the public, at least until after investigations and trials are over. I'd hate to see evidence compromised. After the trials, though, I hope they become public. This babe is a pure expression of feminist culture, and it would be good for all interested adults to be able to graphically see what that means.

Maybe it'll work out for the best...if its his kid, he'll get custody (since she'll probably be in prison for 15 years) and he can go out and find a real woman.

Interesting to see that the defence will be based on "following orders". It didn't work in WW2 or more recently in Yugoslavia. However, now that a woman may use it in defence, it'll be interesting to see what the talking heads make of it and indeed, what the justiciary thinks.......

"Interesting to see that the defense will be based on "following orders". It didn't work in WW2 or more recently in Yugoslavia."
==================================================
"All those involved are using that defense. I doubt it will work."

The American prosecutors of the nazi war criminals of WWII successfully argued against the defense, "I was just being a good German soldier (following orders).” That defense just didn’t work for the nazi war criminals, but that was then, and this is now. The American prosecution's successful come back to the nazi argument was, "There is a law above the law." In other words, “You should have known better. You should have known what was right to do.” Obviously the American legal system today no longer follows that axiom.

America is no longer the world's moral beacon for equal rights, equal justice, and equal protection under the law. The defense, "I was just following orders," might very well work for these “accused war criminals” of feminazi america, where atrocities against men are routinely accepted. There are shocking similarities between the abuse of men today in feminazi america, and the pattern of atrocities committed by pre WWII nazis against similarly demonized groups of people.

Although the behavior of the soldiers as Abu Ghraib is detestable, it is still minor compared to the egregious atrocities of the nazi’s in WWII. Sadly, there are similarities.

Will the defense, "I was just following orders," work for the accused soldiers of Abu Ghraib? We'll see. We will certainly note the gender of any who might successfully use that defense as it will say a lot about the direction our country is headed in.

My prediction is that as England begins to claim she was raped in the porno pics that the defense will work.

It will work because the female gender is held to a different standard than men. In this case, claiming to be a victim is all that is necessary.

Hell. The media has already begun opening the door for England to make these claims today. They are doing this by hyping sex scandels in the news beginning today.

Unless there's some stealth reforms going on here in the so-called justice system of feminazi amerika, you can be sure the female perpetrators of torture and abuse will be held to a lower standard of moral behavior than their male counterparts.

The female general in charge of the Iraqui prison is already copping to having been manipulated by her (male) higher ups in the chain-of-command.

We have abundant evidence -- in our anti-Family, Divorce, DV, and criminal courts that men are always prosecuted and sentenced more harshly,and will be presumed guilty not innocent.

Within a few days somebody's going to spin Ms. England's bestial behaviors as just one more example of female "victimization."

Anybody know the Vegas odds on England doing some prison time?

"The American prosecutors of the nazi war criminals of WWII successfully argued against the defense, "I was just being a good German soldier (following orders).” "

Actually this is a commonly held misconception. No military tribunal...even the one trying the nazis at Nurenburg..was ever going to set the legal precedent that it is OK to disobey orders if those orders do not sit well with your conscience.

What sunk the people who used this as a defence was the fact that the prosecutors had no difficulty whatsoever finding cases from corporal all the way up to general in the German army who said things like "I'm a soldier, not a butcher, if you want the Jew dead kill him yourself" and no grievous consequence was ever suffered by anyone who said so.

That is the actual origin of the higher moral code arguement. If it can be demonstrated that she would have suffered grievous consequence for disobeying the orders then the defense will stand.

It is unfortunately a prevalent human trend to obey such orders ...grievous consequence or not.

What kills me the most about this situation is that in all the articles that include interviews with her family, her mother and sister keep stressing that..."she just wanted to earn money for college...she didn't sign up for prison duty in Iraq".

Wah...wah. Usually (except in the feminist world) risks are part of the game when rewards are involved. You don't just get to sign up for reserve duty and (b/c you are female) expect that you will not be involved in anything except for paper pushing.

I agree. Feminists didn't invent victimology, they just refined it into an artform.

The important point of this is that it shows when women are put in positions of unrestricted power, they are just as likely to abuse it as all us bad men and our "hegemonic masculinities."

The female general in charge of the prison is a different case. I'd say she's texbook feminist. Likes power over lots of men, and when things go wrong she's just a woman struggling in a man's world. Can't hold her accountable. When she saw the photos of men being mistreated she was shocked, shocked I tell you. No wait, that was the guy with wires attached to his testicles.

Lynndie England may or may not consider herself a feminist. However, she reveled in the sexual degradation of men. She gained pleasure from her destructive power over men. She engaged in licentious sex with numerous men, with a confidence of social impunity. (Yes, I know. You can say I can't read her mind. But look at her face. Remember that she called out "He's getting hard," when one of the prisoners was forced to masturbate in front of her. Consider the fact that her video-recorded, public sex with numerous men was apparently consensual.) She believes that she is not accountable for her actions.

These characteristics are a pure expression of feminism. Whether or not she considers herself a womanist, she is a quintessential feminist.

Thomas,
Yeah, That's what I think, too.
The one thing that tends to define a feminist is her lust for sadistic power over males.
As I have so often said, they literaly GET OFF on it. The more emasculaiting, sexualy violent and de-humanizing the better.
I remember one feminist "genius" who once described her wish to see a particular man; "Hog-tied with a high-heeled shoe stuffed in his mouth!"? A very common scenerio in female-dominatrix-pornography. Any one remember who that was that said that?

Although I think most American women are influenced in negative anti-male ways by feminism, I also think a "feminist" is someone who has a political agenda in mind when denigrating men. She sees it as benefiting women when men are humiliated. I doubt this idiot girl had any such agenda in mind, she was just having some "fun" emasculating some helpless men. She probably picked up the concept that torturing men is "fun" from all the TV she watched back in her trailer.

What do you see as being the difference between the two? England is certainly "liberated" from any "historical oppression" which would have caused her to resist engaging in these activities.

Take a look at this billboard. Aside from the army fatigues versus the high heels, I can't see much difference in the message shown by this picture and the one of England holding the leash of a male prisoner.

This whole Iraqi prison torture comic opera is going to put the lie to feminism, and all it's silly nonsense about "if only women (the morally superior gender) were in power..."

Guess what?

Give Ms. England power, and what does she do?

Screw as many of her comrades as possible. Then, take photos with debased Muslim male prisoners.

Then, get pregnant and bail out back to the high life in West Virginia.

Then, claim she was "just following orders..."

Her picture should be on our dollar bills.

This would be a reasonable representation of how defiled by feminism this nation has become.

We now the false allegations of sexual assault and rape have started. It is already being implied that England was raped "under orders."

It'll be interesting to see if Spc. Jeremy Sivits cops a plea and turns state's witness, or whatever the military equivalent is. He could make the "I was just following orders" defense difficult to pull off, even possibly for our sweetheart.

It's probably worth reading this piece in the NY Village Voice about the perception of England's behaviour.

My first reaction is to say the obvious—that sadism is an equal-opportunity employer. But I'm not entirely sure," says Mary Katzenstein, a professor of women's studies and government at Cornell University......"Certainly one can find some women who will be willing accomplices to violent and violating behavior but in a group of 100 women and 100 men, would you find equal numbers of compliant sadists?" she asks. "I wonder."

It's interesting to note the feminist use of different mnethodologies. When there is no doubt that a female is equally capable of carrying out sexual assaults, the barometer or test of culpability of a gender simply comes down to numbers. i.e. she is saying that more men would do it than women so we can make no assumptions or judgements on England's behaviour.

Using that methodology, it's amazing that women ever get custody of children given the government documented higher incidence of infanticide carried out by women.

On to our friends at Amnesty International.....

Officials at Amnesty International seemed initially puzzled as to whether the Iraqi detainees had been sexually assaulted. "We're calling it torture and ill treatment," said a spokeswoman for Amnesty. "We are concerned that the prisoners were forced into sexual positions and I don't want to say that we wouldn't call it [sexual assault]."

They later confirmed that England's (amongst others) actions amounted to sexual assault. However it's interesting to note the confused/puzzled tone of the AI spokeswoman's initial response.

It is particularly pleasurable watching certain females squirm as they begin to realise that their entire gender isn't the superior, saintly breed they imagine. Even more pleasurable is watching as it dawns on them that men in general are waking up to the double standards so prevalent in the media and that men perceive England's actions as primarily one of feminist perceived vengeance.

Not a great recruiting tool for future generations of "sympathetic" men.......
