I'd get angry (god, could someone tell these people that in the context they're writing, referring to men as men but women as "girls" is incredibly dismissive and demeaning?!), but I already got upset today over a Democracy Now! report on sexual misconduct among Marine recruiters. Seems there was a huge exposé recently where over 80 military recruiters (from all branches) over the past year have been reprimanded for sexual misconduct. They've been found guilty of manipulating and/or forcing potential recruits (over 100 total, mostly ages 16-18) to have sex with them.

Yeah.
