The U.S. army

An eye-opening video on the treatment of women who serve in the U.S. army as "second class citizens" and sexual objects.

But the more astounding revelation from the video is the fact that one out of 5 male army recruits is sexually assaulted by their seniors as well.

The military, by definition, is, as those interviewed in the video say, a culture where power through violent means and conquest are the civilizational norms. Rape, whether it's of a woman or a man, is about that. 

The documentary The Invisible War is worth watching, I hear.

A brief synopsis: According to Department of Defense estimates, over 19,300 members of the U.S. military were sexually assaulted in 2010 alone. Yet, although the rate of sexual assaults against women in the service is twice that of the civilian population, only ten percent of assault cases end in prosecution, with female soldiers often finding themselves ostracized or pressured into remaining silent.
