Check out this new blog written by a woman in the Navy. This post deals with her experiences at the Naval Academy, and this post talks about the relationship between evangelical Christianity and feminism.
There isn't a bandaid big enough and they always fall off. I think a man get respect if he puts on his uniform and preforms his duties but it's not always enough for woman to do the same. I think it very unfair to have women enlist and want to serve their country and then turn around and feel that they cannot trust the same people they are fighting with. I have met women in command and wonder why kind of struggles she endured to do the job she signed up for. It is sad that these thoughts would enter my mind but not when I see or meet a man in command.
I think that it is crazy that this happens to our women in the military and the naval academy. I think lizzet is right when he/she said that all men have to do is wear the uniform, because i work in an area where we get a lot of midshipmen, and let me tell you, they are all dogs and assholes...and i am a guy who is saying that. They walk around with their noses in the air pretending to be be better then everyone else because their rich daddy knows the senator. I think that it is crazy that women have to put up with it, i think if men are convicted of sexual charges, while in the military, their punishment shouldbe doubled. The punishment should be much more severe if you are making it diffucult for other people because of hormones, of all things. just because you wear a uniform 8 hours out of your day doesnt mean you can be ananimal the other 16. I cant believe that senator never retracted his statement, because as long as that is just overlooked, the longer the navy has to put a band aid on it. I dont know why the midshipman and most of navy acts to arrogant and tough, none of them will see battle anyway...because without service, battle, and sacrifice, the militry isnt anything but college. My brother, uncle, grandfather, were in all forms of the military and they all say that it isnt that much different, the only thing you have to do is wake up earlier. the military is suppose to be strict and professional, if they arent and they perform horrendous acts, they should be punished. the military is a privaledge.
