Assault

The history of sexual assault in the Air Force did not begin when women were allowed in the military or when women started working alongside men. Cases of male on male assault have been traced back to the beginning of the United States Army and United States Marine Corps in 1775.

Sexual assault and harassment has always been a military issue; it was…

their lives on the line for the safety of their students. Imagine the stolid stare of someone, fueled by insanity, unable and unwilling to differentiate right from wrong. Gun ownership should be tightly controlled because they are dangerous weapons, assault weapons are unnecessary, and more guns doesn’t always equal more safety. First, people argue that guns are wholesome tools used for sport. This is a terrible misunderstanding of the history of guns. These were not designed for anything…

disturbing comment on women took place in the Access Hollywood video in which he bragged about sexual assault, when questioned about the video his defense was that everyone does it. These comments are very dangerous especially with rising sexual assault as well as rape culture and victim blaming that has become prevalent in today’s society.
