  ‘White middle-aged men’ leading armed forces blamed for bullying culture in new report Investigation finds military lagging behind in dealing with issues raised by social movements such as #MeToo Tom Barnes @thomas_barnes Monday 15 July 2019

Servicemen and women are facing “unacceptable” levels of inappropriate behaviour in part due to the “pack mentality of white middle-aged men” commanding the armed forces, a report says. A “significant number” of military personnel have experienced “bullying, discrimination and harassment, including sexual”, according to the research commissioned by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

The document said that despite changing demographics in the wider armed forces, service personnel were still being “led by a cohort described by one external organisation as a ‘pack mentality of white middle-aged men, especially in positions of influence’ whose behaviours are shaped by the armed forces of 20 years ago”.

イギリス白人中年男性の集団心理が一因となって、軍隊におけるこうした差別意識はなくならいのだ、と。

ちなみに、出羽守というのは、このイギリス白人中年男性の集団心理をよく反映しているんだろうね。
