BITCH WHORE DYKE

As a recruit in bootcamp, a drill instructor informs you that there are three types of female marines: a bitch, a whore, and a dyke. Coming from a female drill instructor, this is not personal conviction–this is warning, preparation for how your male counterparts will treat you. During the three month long boot camp process, recruits are trained not only to endure physical hardship, but also prepared to endure the hardship that comes from being a woman in the United States military. 

BITCH WHORE DYKE is an ongoing documentary photo project revealing an intimate, tender look at the women who serve and have served as U.S. Marines.
