Liz Trotta apparently doesn't have any remorse about her statements that John wrote about last week, where she said that women in the military should expect to be raped, and rather than apologize, she decided to double down and blame the liberals and feminists for her woes.

Via Raw Story -- In labored clarification, Fox contributor castigates military’s ‘fake heroism’:

Appearing on the Fox News show America’s News HQ, contributor Liz Trotta attempted to clarify remarks she made earlier this month that became fodder for The Daily Show, during which host Jon Stewart summarized that she did not want the military helping women who’ve been “raped too much.

Unfortunately for the former Washington Times editor, what she actually said isn’t going to make the controversy go away — but then, that may have been the point.

After suggesting that the issue of women in military roles has “never gotten a fair and open hearing,” Trotta went on to say: “The political correctness infecting the Pentagon has resulted in silly and dishonest fairy tales about female heroism,” she said. “Has anyone forgotten the Jessica Lynch story?”

“There are countless other stories of fake heroism or exaggerated prowess in which women are the stars, many of them tailored for The New York Times and its agenda to promote militant feminism, no matter what the truth,” Trotta added.

And here's more via Mediaite -- Fox’s Liz Trotta Clarifies Remarks About Women In The Military:

Later in her appearance, Trotta noted that:

The military is not a social services operation, or a testing ground for gender wars. It is a fighting machine. Women are not as strong as men. Their instincts and reactions in crises are markedly different. There’s a reality the left will not face: biology is not destiny.

“I certainly did not say all military men are rapists,” she added. “I believe that the environment of combat, by definition, sets up the situation where basic instincts rule. Any scientist will tell you that testosterone rules.”

What a horrible troll she is (in the netiquette sense) - here are two points for her to consider (hwah - as if!)

1.

“There are countless other stories of fake heroism or exaggerated prowess in which women are the stars, many of them tailored for The New York Times and its agenda to promote militant feminism, no matter what the truth,”

**search and replace women with men, NYT with GWBush and militant feminism with male braggadocio ** then look up name Pat Tillman - it's called war and the first casualty is truth. Lesson - don't get into wars.

2.

The military is not a social services operation, or a testing ground for gender wars. It is a fighting machine. Women are not as strong as men. Their instincts and reactions in crises are markedly different. There’s a reality the left will not face: biology is not destiny.

- there is a concept in biology called evolution - it relies on diversity to progress. Monoculture is another term biologists use and it means when you have all of one thing it isn't as resilient.

3.

“I believe that the environment of combat, by definition, sets up the situation where basic instincts rule. Any scientist will tell you that testosterone rules.”

Training - that is what soldiers get - because guess what - instinct can KILL you... that's why they train.

4.

"Feminist biology"

vs. non-feminist biology??

Women were polled back in the day - and supported the Iraq war in higher numbers then men - if they want a war they should go help fight it --- also bring back the draft with no deferments.

I am sure she secretly loves feminism - it keeps a hack like her out of the poorhouse

Ironic the ultimate social service operation for rich, white, ignorant racists, Fixed News, is allowing this psycho a platform by which to slam social service operations.


When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.

men and women alike have been in the military for years, having at a certain age been required to serve.

what do you think that thing is between her shoulders.


The first casualty of republicanism is the truth.
Party politics are not only undemocratic, they are antidemocratic.

... at least you have to hand it to Fox & the rest of the right wing for not having contributed to the liberal warhawks' dishonest drumbeat reporting of Jessica Lynch's experiences.

What... what did I just say?!?!?

bobc2443's picture

Jessica Lynch was "injured" in 2003.
George W and Donald Rummy were running the war in 2003.
George W and Rummy were not liberal warhawks.
You should get your facts straight before you erupt.

It's called snark. You may have heard of it before under the term biting sarcasm.

So I won't. I'm just not that kinda guy.

Funny, that's CERTAINLY a reality Ms. Trotta won't face, or else she wouldn't be making the "testosterone leads to rape automatically" garbage argument.

For that matter, her argument read at face value would seem to imply that the only reliable military would be one with *only* women, since history has shown that rape is one of the most frequent war crimes...

Denial, failure to admit to mistakes, and blaming others for your problems is central to the republican disease. We must not let people like these hold positions of authority in society, and we can't let them take center stage in the public arena or the media entertainment industry.

Why doesn't she just say "feminazis."

Nothing worse than a woman who is a woman hater.

Maybe she didn't get asked to the prom.

What "scientist" are you talking about? What an idiot.

Hmmm, when was this hag in the military? History abounds with stories of teams of fierce fighting women who many times had their male opponents cowering before them. I makes me want to spit bullets at people like Trotter when they spew their deceitful venom.

Terrible's picture

Historically women have been known to be some of the most viciously fearsome combatants. But usually in defense of their homelands rather then in incredibly expensive, unpopular and completely unnecessary foreign wars of aggression.

Alerta_Alerta's picture

Wasn't it women that drove the t-34 tanks? Or was it just small men?

I'm sure there was a full women Russian spec op team or something. IDK.

There was definitely at least one all women Russian sniper unit during WWII and I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they had a special ops unit too. I imagine they never took a single Nazi prisoner too. Not sure about the tanks but could very well be, seems likely there would have been some female tank units. Real women don't have much use for right wing radicals invading their country. Just checked wiki and yeah they did it all and did it well. Of course that will probably upset the right wing trolls who think the US should have joined the Nazi side in the war.

Alerta_Alerta's picture

When i think spec ops i think snipers to be honest. Maybe not the right term but the thought was in the right direction. Good to know i'm not completly make stuff up.

Liz Trotta would be a rubbish sniper. She would aim and shoot in the air while uttering "look at me, i'm rubbish and i'm a women. Did i tell you i'm a women? I'm shit"

Yeah, we know. Now fuck off!

Interesting to note that the Russians while they did try to keep woman out of close quarter hand to hand combat situations considered women to be the best snipers "since good snipers are patient, deliberate, have a high level of aerobic conditioning" , you know all the things this freak Trotta thinks women don't have. I didn't know about it until I read that wiki page but they also made 3 airforce regiments of all women and once again they were some of the best at shooting down or bombing the right wing trash Nazis. So good the right wing Nazi trash feared them as much as Trotta fears combat women. The Nazis called these pilots the Night Witches. Sweet nickname for some hot heroes. ;-)

Did they cut there engines before they dropped there bombs? So it was like they came out of nowhere. Wait, they flew old bi planes that had engines that did not made a lot of sound. That's it. Isn't it?

Something like that.

She must be up in arms over this then:

Wonder how many embellished stories of male heroics? Jessica Lynch didn't make up her story. President Bush and his allies did.

Never mind Jessica Lynch. Remember Lori Piestewa. Killed in combat that first day. A team mate of Lynch's. And for that matter, Lynch's 'rescue' may have been a PR disaster, but remember when Lynch piled in an unarmored vehicle and drove down range, she was showing greater courage and 'heroism' than any chair sitting Rethug mouthpiece ever had. Her and the thousands of other women whose lives have been ended or blown apart forever in these Oil Wars for Our Corporate Masters. Fuckin' two-bit propagandist needs to shut her pie hole before she says anything against American Service Women.

NMRon's picture

she didn't mean all military men are rapists. What she meant to say was that all military women are sluts who join up to be raped.

Terrible's picture

I'd say that probably is pretty much what the creep does think.

Kathy in St. Louis's picture

of Fox News, you become an expert on the entire subject of rape. Liz, the expert.

wonderland's picture

Teleprompter much? She had the whole thing written out in advance and read it with fillin lines by the supposed interviewer. I can't remember her as a war correspondent, but she's certainly lost the ability to speak under fire (if she ever had it). She's even more annoying than the bubble-headed blondes that Fox specializes in.

mcnairbo's picture

Of course, a republican can't EVER admit they were wrong. She would be summoned to Rush Limbaughs' lair for a dressing down.

and then not provide one single reference.
RAPE IS A BASIC INSTINCT? What a friggin' idiot. Unbelievable.

Tragically it is insanity, greed, and bad judgement rule in times of war. Stupid fucking whore.
