Left-wing news outlet Vox attacked Marines on Memorial Day, claiming in an article that the Marine Corps has a „toxic masculinity problem.“<\/b>
\nThe article, which was simply titled \u201cThe Marine Corps has a \u2018toxic masculinity\u2019 problem, \u201d continued to claim that the Marine Corps often \u201cmarginalizes or mistreats female troops.\u201d
Citing the Marines United nude photo sharing scandal, Vox staff writer and defense correspondent Alex Ward attempted to link the Marines with systemic sexism and listed ways how the Corps could get rid of their \u201ctoxic masculinity.\u201d
\u201cAnd to be fair, it\u2019s not just the Marines. Sexual assault has increased in other services, and even in military academies, \u201d concluded Ward in the article. \u201cAccording to one Pentagon review, there were 6,172 reports of sexual assault last year.\u201d
\u201cSo as the service tries to win battles around the world, the most important fight may be the one closest to home, \u201d he continued. \u201cThe battle for the soul of the Marine Corps.\u201d
The article was criticized by numerous other journalists on Twitter:
\u201cI\u2019 m an ex-Army woman. This article is hysterical bullshit, \u201d commented one user, while another added: \u201cYeah, you know that toxic masculinity saving lives. Just terrible.\u201d
