My granddad was in the Navy. I don't know much, though I know a little more than most. When John McCain, the poster child for cronyism and nepotism, claps a Chief Petty Officer on the shoulder, that's not respect. That's a goof-off patronizing a salior who proved himself to be a responsible motherfucker.
Keep smiling, Chief. Your respect of rank was better than McCain's.

Some part of me that believes misogyny that involves physical violence can't be tolerated in anyone we trust to llead others and that no one else would tolerate it either so this can't be true. On the other hand, I know better than to believe that part of me and it's entirely possible it is.
