  • General Order No. 28 was a military decree made by Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler during the American Civil War. Following the Battle of New Orleans, Butler established himself as military commander of that city on May 1, 1862. Many of the city's inhabitants were strongly hostile to the Federal government, and many women in particular expressed this contempt by insulting Union troops. Accordingly, on May 15, Butler issued an order to the effect that any woman insulting or showing contempt for any officer or soldier of the United States should be "treated as a woman of the town plying her avocation," the solicitation of prostitution. The order had no sexual connotation, but it permitted soldiers not to treat women performing such acts as ladies. For example, if a woman punched a soldier, he could punch her back. Known as the "Woman's Order," it was very controversial both at home and abroad, as women throughout New Orleans interpreted it as Butler legalizing rape. The general dislike over No. 28 even went so far as people printing his portrait on the bottom of chamber pots, and was a cause of Butler's removal from command of New Orleans on December 16, 1862.

  • L'ordre général n° 28 est un décret militaire du major général Benjamin Butler au cours de la guerre de Sécession. À la suite de la bataille de La Nouvelle-Orléans, Butler s'établit en tant que commandant militaire de cette ville le 1er mai 1862. De nombreux habitants de la ville sont fortement hostiles au gouvernement fédéral, et de nombreuses femmes, en particulier, expriment ce mépris par les insultes envers les troupes de l'Union. En conséquence, le 15 mai, Butler émet un ordre à l'encontre de toute femme insultant ou manifestant du mépris pour tout officier ou soldat des États-Unis qui doit être « traitée comme une femme de la ville exerçant son » - dans le sens de la de la prostitution. L'ordre n'a aucune connotation sexuelle ; plutôt, il permettait aux soldats de ne pas traiter les femmes commettant de tels actes comme des dames. Si une femme frappe un soldat, par exemple, il pourrait le lui rendre. Connu comme l'« ordre de la femme », mais il est très controversé dans le pays et à l'étranger, car les femmes dans La Nouvelle-Orléans l'interprètent comme si Butler légalise le viol. L'aversion générale à propos de l'ordre n° 28 est telle que son portrait est imprimé dans le fond des pots de chambre et est une cause de retrait de Butler du commandement de La Nouvelle-Orléans le 16 décembre 1862.
