Judge: Let lesbians into military so male GIs can turn them straight

Did judge suggest corrective rape for lesbian soldiers?

The conservative news site The Daily Caller has removed part of an article that suggested lesbians be allowed into the US military so that their male colleagues can "convert" them.

Critics say the article went as far as to suggest corrective rape for lesbians.

"Lesbians should be allowed to serve, gay men should not," declared Joe Rehyansky in an article published Monday. Rehyansky, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, is a part-time magistrate in Hamilton County, Tennessee, and a former assistant district attorney.

In the original article, Rehyansky concluded that his lesbians-only policy "would get the distaff part of our homosexual population off our collective ‘Broke Back,’ thus giving straight male GIs a fair shot at converting lesbians and bringing them into the mainstream."

That alarmed some LGBT activists, who note that much of the article before that comment argued that men are rapists by nature. Rehyansky's argument that gay men should continue to be banned from the military was based on this notion:

Shouldn’t the overwhelmingly straight warriors who answer their county’s call be spared the indignity of showering with other men who achieve lascivious enjoyment from the sight of those lithe naked bodies, and who may be tempted to seek more than the view? They are, after all, guys.

1. Holy Hannah! This guys is a judge?!

[Tsiyu]

21. Oh yeah

Tennessee and Georgia have some judges that, to paraphrase Jon Stewart, are close to playing with their own poop.

It's sad in 2010 to see a person who is supposed to be an expert in the law be such a complete and total ignoramus. And this cretin gets to decide people's fates in a courtroom...

[Lil Missy]

2. jackass.

[Ilsa]

3. What a horse's ass. He shouldn't be permitted to serve at criminal trials

involving rape. He isn't prudent or informed about human sexuality. I hope he's removed from the bench, some how.

4. Just when you think it can't get any more stupid ..... n/t

[Shallah Kali]

5. I feel sorry for any female who has ever had to work with this man in or out of the military

I hate to think how he treated them :shudder:

and on second thought I hate to think how he treated other men .... "showering with other men who achieve lascivious enjoyment from the sight of those lithe naked bodies, and who may be tempted to seek more than the view?"

why do so many bigots spend so much mental power on details like 'lithe naked bodies'? :puke:

[sarge43]

22. I feel sorry for anyone who has to appear before him in court. n/t

6. This is an educated man?

Like, I mean he actually went to college and law school and then graduated?

Astounding.

12. He should be disbarred.

[Canuckistanian]

14. No kidding

This guy has no clue what a "reasonable person" would do. He barely has a grasp on reality himself.

7. Fucking Christ. nt

8. This ass is condoning rape.

[BlueIris]

26. Appears to me to be encouraging it.

IN.SANE.

[The Doctor.]

9. Wow. This guy is an impulse case.

He projects his own desires as 'remedies'.

"showering with other men who achieve lascivious enjoyment from the sight of those lithe naked bodies, and who may be tempted to seek more than the view?"

He's essentially very sexually conflicted, and it would be an educated guess that he's exercised sexual predation many times in the past.

10. Unseat and Disbar!! Immediately. If not sooner.

This guy is a real piece of work According to his LinkedIn profile, Rehyansky's specialties are "sending criminals to prison" and "astute political analysis."


"Women had to be more selective because, then as now, the principal consequences of copulation were theirs: pregnancy; childbirth; most of the responsibilities of childrearing whilst their baby-daddy hunter-gatherers were about hunting and gathering and finding other women to subdue; and the ruination of their pulchritudinous figures. How our ancient foremothers ever managed to establish any choice in the matter is utterly beyond me when one considers that they did not have access to Mace, police whistles, Lady Smith .38s, or domestic violence hotlines."

19. "women to subdue"---Wow! Just wow! nt

[Bigmack]

13. I served with Marines who...

were animals enough to scare a straight woman gay.

And that's no shit!

[Recursion]

15. This Marine would like to give a big "semper fuck you" to "judge" Rehyansky

This is complete bullshit, and it insults those of us who have served.

[Initech]

16. How do bigoted pieces of crap like this get in positions of power?

[bbernardini]

17. How long until he claims it was a "humor" piece? nt

[hayu_lol]

18. Tennessee is one of our most backward states...

some of them have progressed to the 12th century.

23. My experience of lesbians

is that those who might sign up for military service and sign up for the marines in particular, are quite strong in their convictions, on a great many fronts. The men will have their hands full just trying to keep up as soldiers. The judge obviously has not met these people.

[BlueIris]

24. INSANITY.

There are just so many things wrong with that psychotic asshole's statement. Not only does it imply that lesbians would "convert" if they were raped by males, it implies that the military's male population won't be able to "convert" said lesbians if gay men are also allowed to serve openly...because, why? Will the straight males in the military somehow be "distracted" by their fellow gay soldiers?

Again, INSANE.

[alphafemale]

25. Wait. What? We're supposed to believe a guy commenting about men's "lithe, naked bodies"

...is straight?


:rofl:

[xchrom]

27. i couldn't believe my eyes. -- i had to read that twice. nt

[SalmonChantedEvening]

28. *facepalm* nt

[gaspee]

29. That's funny

The more time I spend around men (especially when outnumbered by them) the more to the lesbian side of bi I get. In fact, after spending time in an environment that's mostly men, I can no longer imagine a circumstance where I would ever have a relationship with one ever again.
