politicartoonsCindy Sheehan saw some disturbing signage posted upon a military base fence in 29 Palms Marine base in California. It was from a vessel recently returned from deployment in the middle east. She took it down and after riding on her bicycle (Tour de Peace) across our country, she delivered it as a present to the White House.

That it is a common saying isn't exactly bolstering the outlier theory.

The flag says "Hide your daughters, hide your wife".
Sons and husbands make out better in 29 palms.

Date: 2013-07-04 02:26 pm (UTC)"Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, hide yo husbands, cause they rapin' errbody round here" is of such humorous cultural significance, that military people can post banners proclaiming similar sentiments about the daughters and wives of civilians, and it's not "rapey"?

Date: 2013-07-04 02:40 pm (UTC)The implication is still that the soldier are going to molest the civilian women to the point even lacking consent. It is a clear example of rape culture removing the sting of the act because "raping" women is funny.

Edit: which is basically what Trog said.
