    This is the issue. Women in general are not but there is a subset of women who target service men. Those women are the reason these memes exist.

      Seriously though, the same could be said of any group seeking to exploit any other group. X group targets Y group because Y group has things that benefit X without X having to work as hard. You could just as easily say that there are a subset of men who target young Christian women to be groomed because it’s easier to control them and get away with it. The woman gets abuse and the man gets a bangmaid.

      Billionaires target desperate immigrants, for example, undercutting pay for locals and immigrants in the process. It’s exploitation now matter how you slice it, and numerous groups of humans do it all the time, not just “a subset of women.”

      So arguing about any “subset” of a larger group is literally fucking pointless. A subset of humans looks for loopholes and things to exploit, is a better way to say it without it being weirdly gendered.

        To any extent yes but the way the military does benefits is the reason for this common exploit. Saying it happens elsewhere does not stop how common it is in the military which is why these memes exist. They even give warnings and classes on it to new recruits. Its extremely common in the military.

          They actually teach you about Jody in basic? I knew it was a running joke, but didn’t realise it was official.

          The others I mentioned are pretty fucking common too, and they don’t have a system of governance that protects them and warns them that such things are a possibility. Sounds to me like if soldiers are being warned that means when it happens it amounts to them just being fucking stupid.
