弃船者:海岸警卫队队长埃尼·布兰查德的毁灭

English | ISBN: 1476675457 | 2018 | 180 pages | EPUB | 5 MB

Captain Ernie Blanchard left for work January 10, 1995, a successful officer. Respected by superiors and subordinates, his personal and professional values seemed perfectly aligned with the institution he served, the United States Coast Guard. By day's end his career was finished. At a speaking engagement at the Coast Guard Academy, Blanchard's icebreaker–a series of time-tested corny jokes–was met with silence. Within hours, an investigation was underway into whether his remarks constituted sexual harassment. Several weeks later, threatened with a court-martial, he shot himself. The author investigates Blanchard's "death by political correctness" in the context of the turmoil surrounding the U.S. Armed Forces' gender inclusion struggles from the 1980s to the present.


1995年1月10日,恩尼·班纳瑟德先生离开工作,他是一位成功的职业军官。上司和下属都尊敬他,他的个人价值观与他服务的美国海岸警卫队完全一致。到这一天结束时,他的职业生涯就此终结。 在美国海岸防卫学院的一次演讲活动中,班纳瑟德的“破冰者”——一系列经久不衰的冷笑话——遭遇了沉默。几个小时后,有人开始调查他的言论是否构成了性骚扰。几周之后,他被威胁要面临军事法庭审判,最终选择自杀。 作者在探究班纳瑟德因政治正确而死的情景时,将视角置于美国武装部队自1980年代以来围绕性别包容斗争的动荡之中。
