I want to talk a minute about the way in which I am seeing some male officers comport themselves here on Twitter (and I’m sure you’re just as toxic in real life).

There have been several convos in which male officers made snide remarks about other male officers mentoring...
... female officers.

First, these remarks are unprofessional and unbecoming. Also, non-Army people can read your comments and see just how sexist and toxic some male officers are.

Second, what you are doing is intimidating and trying to create an environment in which...
... your fellow male officers —many of whom don’t have the power of a certain luminary 2-star— are hesitant to mentor women because they don’t want the same said about them.

These comments damage the reputation of the US Army as a professional organization...
These comments attempt to impugn the professionalism of your fellow officers. Of all genders.

Further, as an Army civilian employee who has had numerous male officers mentor her, I also wonder if you say this about me.
My name is here, toxic male officers. Where are your names? Put them on your comments. Where’s that personal courage?
Oh, and some of you are retired or got out, and let me say a hardy:

Good Riddance
Here’s an example, and Jane nails it as usual:

Maybe nobody mentors you because you’re no-talent toxic jerks, guys. https://twitter.com/lethalityjane/status/1335009847830487040
