\n A retired Wisconsin Air National Guard colonel is clarifying controversial comments she made about slain Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen, saying she didn\u2019t mean to imply that sexual harassment is the \u201cprice of admission\u201d for women in the military.<\/p>\n

Betsy Schoeller, who is also a senior lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, issued a statement Sunday offering her condolences to Guillen\u2019s relatives and \u201call victims\u201d sexual assault and harassment.<\/p>\n

But Schoeller insisted she didn\u2019t \u201cmean to imply\u201d she believed that sexual harassment comes with the territory for women in the military and \u201cif you\u2019re going to cry like a snowflake about it, you\u2019re gonna pay the price\u201d \u2013 as she posted days earlier on a private Facebook<\/a> page for veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not mean to imply that this is how I feel,\u201d Schoeller said Sunday. \u201cI was giving voice to the messaging that women hear in the culture of sexual harassment: The message we received from the culture is not only will you suffer from sexual harassment, if you squawk about it, you will suffer even more.\u201d<\/p>\n

A petition calling for Schoeller to be fired from her job at the university\u2019s School of Information Studies has eclipsed more than 131,000 signatures as of early Monday.<\/p>\n

University officials, meanwhile, denounced her remarks in a statement Saturday but said it could not regulate the private speech of its employees. She has worked as the school for 23 years, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported.<\/p>\n

Schoeller, who retired as a colonel from the Wisconsin National Guard in 2017, told the news<\/a>paper she was sexually harassed while serving in the military. Schoeller thought her remarks about Guillen on Facebook were private, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you look at my comment, I was not talking about one person specifically,\u201d Schoeller said. \u201cI was only voicing that message that we get as women. Being called names. Being called \u2018sissy\u2019 and any derogatory term you can think of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schoeller said she hopes her statement issued Sunday clarifies her original post, which she insists was \u201cmisinterpreted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope this message provides the context that was missing from my original Facebook posting,\u201d the statement read. \u201cIndividuals cannot change the system alone. We need to stand together to be strong and to focus our energies on making sure that what happ<\/a>ened to SPC Vanessa Guillen doesn\u2019t happen to anyone else ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Human remains found in a shallow grave in Texas last week have been identified as Guillen, an attorney for her family said Sunday.<\/p>\n

Guillen, 20, was last seen on April 22 at Fort Hood, where she was based. Federal and military investigators believe she was killed and dismembered by fellow soldier Aaron David Robinson, 20, who took his own life last week as police tried to contact him.<\/p>\n

Prior to her disappearance, Guillen\u2019s relatives said she told them she was being sexually harassed by one of her sergeants at Fort Hood, the Journal-Sentinel reported. But Army investigations have said there\u2019s no evidence to back up those allegations.<\/p>\n
