1. Cancelación de una promoción histórica por razones de género.
Una capitana de la Armada, condecorada con la Medalla del Corazón Púrpura tras ser herida en Irak y primera mujer en servir con el SEAL Team Six como comandante de tropa, tuvo su ascenso abruptamente cancelado días antes de la ceremonia oficial. Testimonios internos señalan que la decisión fue impulsada personalmente por Hegseth debido a su oposición a que una mujer ocupara ese cargo clave.
- A female navy captain was set to become the first woman to oversee navy seals in a naval special warfare command in july—until her promotion was abruptly canceled with little to no explanation.
- Suggesting that hegseth had killed the command because he didnt want a woman in the role. Its f--in bulls--t. Thats horse s--t, said a retired senior enlisted navy seal who served with the officer at seal team six. She was the best man for the job.
- They want to keep it the brotherhood and dont like that shes coming in and challenging the status quo.
- Ranked the top officer for promotion in her cohort. Received a purple heart after being injured in an ied attack in iraq. She then became the first woman to serve with seal team six. The command was likely yanked by hegseth because of gender.
2. Hegseth como símbolo de misoginia institucional.
Hegseth es descrito reiteradamente como un alcohólico, acosador de mujeres y presunto agresor sexual. Su historial incluye un acuerdo por 50.000 dólares con una mujer que lo acusó de agresión sexual en 2017, y una carta pública de su propia madre en la que lo denuncia como abusador de mujeres. Su deseo de “mantenerlo como una hermandad” se interpreta como una política deliberada para excluir a las mujeres de roles de liderazgo.
- Pete hegseth is a drunken sexual predator destroying the careers of actual american heroes left and right.
- According to pete hegseth, people like himself who poison people with drugs belong at the bottom of the ocean. A woman filed a police report in 2017 alleging that hegseth drugged sexually assaulted her. He payed her 50,00 to shut her up.
- His warrior ethos is just a euphemism for misogyny, racism, and lawlessness.
- The decision has been widely criticized, with sources suggesting the cancellation was due to her gender and is now forcing her into retirement due to the navys up or out policy.
3. Patrón sistemático: Destitución de mujeres en altos mandos.
La cancelación no es un caso aislado: Hegseth y Trump han removido a múltiples mujeres que alcanzaron cargos históricos, incluyendo a la Almirante Linda Fagan, primera mujer en comandar la Guardia Costera, y a la Almirante Lisa Franchetti, primera mujer en ser Jefa de Operaciones Navales y miembro del Estado Mayor Conjunto.
- Admiral fagan, the first woman to lead the u.s. Coast guard, and admiral franchetti, the first woman to command the navy. Both dedicated decades to serving their country with distinction—until trump axed them. Because trump and republicans hate women.
- On the first day of donald trumps second term, he fired adm. Linda fagan for being woke. She was the commandant of the u.s. Coast guard. She was evicted from her home with three hours of notice. Fagan was a four-star admiral and the first woman to lead a branch of the military.
- Hegseth fired jag officers who he felt wouldnt go along with his or trumps orders if they were illegal.
- Trump and hegseth can yell about dei all day, but the message to every woman in uniform is obvious.
4. Reacción del personal militar y llamados a la resistencia.
Miembros activos y veteranos, incluidos SEALs y oficiales de alto rango, expresan indignación y desmoralización. Algunos SEALs apoyaban explícitamente a la capitana desplazada. Hay llamados urgentes a la resistencia: desde cartas a representantes hasta movilizaciones públicas, exigiendo la remoción de Hegseth y la restauración de la integridad meritocrática en las fuerzas armadas.
- The seals thought she was qualified. There is absolutely no dei. She was the best man for the job.
- Hooch hegseth ruins career of navy seals commanding officer, just because shes a gasp woman! and the rough, tough, manly navy seals aint taking that mistreatment nicely.
- Every woman who has ever volunteered to defend her country should blast the shit out of drunk hegseth. Not literally, but with words, calls, letters, and calling your representatives. This is not right. This is not normal.
- Imagine overcoming the significant hurdles as a woman in the military—its well known they have to be basically perfect—already—and then this admin comes along??
