where was the outrage in the media at the military last year

[liberal_at_heart]

when a group of women filed lawsuit against the military for covering up rape crimes and punishing female soldiers for reporting rape? I don't care if Patreaus had sex. If his wife wants to divorce him that's up to her, but the attention the media is giving this is ridiculous. There probably needs to be a probe into the failure to follow protocol in the FBI but the rest of it is just soap opera gossip and I just don't care. I just wish they had paid this much attention when the female soldiers were suing military leadership over rape crimes.

1. Me, too. We are still second class citizens, though there is slow improvement, very slow.

2. You are right to ask "where was the outrage".. even here, on a progressive forum...

..this story didn't exactly start a firestorm, if my memory serves...

Yeah, we do have a loooooooooooooooooong way to go.

3. I don't think major media noticed

It's the same culture where Generals have affair and cover up rape crimes. Women don't matter much.
