Ideology does not change nature. While polite behaviour is not genetically determined, hormones and there effects are. And not always the first can keep the latter in check.
Its like putting a naked female onto a busy crossroad and then complaining that cars drive slow and drivers get distracted.
Females in the military, okay, I'm all for it. Let them shoot in tanks, let them become snipers and combat troops if they pass the physical tests (by male standards!), let them fly fighter jets and drop bombs, I'm all for it. But certain things I am simply against. Mixed crews on small boats is one such thing. Infantry qualifications running double standards in the sports tests is another.
At least they got not physically raped, which would be difficult to cover on a boat, I assume. But I read some weeks ago that the case numbers of sexual attacks against women in the US military are much higher than gets known to the public - and are rising.
Genderism, political correctness. For reason's sake - to hell with that.

I have to agree, you're gonna have this when you mix men and women, no amount of rules trump Mother Nature. I was knew a girl that was a police officer that went to a national police convention in another state at a beach. She partied and drank like most did, but terribly drunk, ended up sleeping with a higher up same dept. She was told to remember "what happens at Myrtle Beach stays at Myrtle Beach." Seems it happened a lot with numerous others, finally came out and made the papers when one complained....
