I just sat in another few hours of the Air Force version of SAPR training and got a copy of the slides and suggested commander's script. I'd be happy to send it to you if you are interested.

Perhaps it’s a problem in other career fields. Perhaps I just haven’t been invited to the right parties. Perhaps I’m just oblivious. But the argument that sexual assault is some kind of crisis besetting the military is one completely beyond my personal observation that I can say with confidence that what ever problem it is, it isn’t my problem, or rather, it’s not a problem that I am likely to ever have to confront personally."</i><br /><br />This is an excellent point. <br /><br />Probably upwards of several million dollars, maybe even 10s of millions by now, have been spent by the military trying to eradicate something that doesn't happen very much on Federal property, except for those drunken encounters that find their way back to the dorms. <br /><br />But the point is that stuff like this rarely exists in the workplace; it's when military members return to the civilian sphere from whence they came is when trouble starts. Perhaps the services should do a better job recruiting morally upstanding Americans to join the service, not wanna-be drunken sluts and cads.<br /><br />Speaking of drunk, I noticed there isn't one word in here about not getting yourself sloshed in mixed-sex environments. Or about not hooking up. Or even (gasp) not having sex with someone who is not your husband or wife.<br /><br />I think our mutual friend PH mentioned over at his place that the military could squash this in two seconds, if it were interested in eradicating this problem, rather than managing it. Simply prohibit all non-professional male-female contact. While certainly draconian, it would be effective. <br /><br />Me, I think merely making fornication a UCMJ offense would be a very effective tool and making all this noise go away. But that would mean the poor dears couldn't drink themselves stupid and hook up.<br /><br />Also, the "bystander intervention" (a/k/a White Knightng 101) module strikes me as a good recipe for a beat down for those fellows who poke their noses in someone else's business. Very risky. Besides, how many women are dragged out of bars to be sullied against their will, anyway? And even then this all begs the question: why do tough, strong, independent Air-women need a guardian, anyway? Doesn't this undermine the entire feminist narrative against the all-powerful evil patriarchy?<br /><br />Last, I think conditions are such that male leaders and commanders need to start having "the talk" with their young male subordinates. Advice such as "don't talk to them unless spoken to", "don't fraternize with them", <br />"leave when/if the booze comes out in mixed company", "have a wingman/witness", and "videotape your encounters" would go a long long way toward preventing the sort of misunderstandings that make up the vast majority of sex assault allegations. <br /><br />Because, as we see above, the accuser-cum-victim will be believed, which my extension means that the accused is automatically assumed guilty. And no man, innocent or not, wants to be on the receiving end of an accusation that is third only to murder and child molestation--with very little chance of accountability for false accusers.Elusive Wapitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825547465295622621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-34398972661207740692014-06-09T08:22:02.640-04:002014-06-09T08:22:02.640-04:00All of these require participation of the audience...All of these require participation of the audience. But the audience ois normally too large for everyone to participate. So there are two tactics to use:<br /><br />1. Participate by sidetracking the discussion into irrelevant areas. Tell stories about how you knew someone who knew someone that this happened to. You aren't adding to the time it takes to end the class since that is going to use all of its appointed hours anyway.<br /><br />2. Don't participate. Do crossword puzzles or sudoku instead. When asked for your opinion, state "I agree with you guys" and go back to your distractions.<br /><br />If everyone sits on their hands instead of playing along this become much harder on the facilitator.<br /><br />But the whole process reminds me of being a POW in a communist country where you are required to attend re-education seminars daily and talk about your sins against humanity and how they lead you to be where you are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
