Thats why I am strictly against women serving in certain branches of the military. Submarines amongst them. Crowded space. Isolated situation. Not good. Certain tensions between both genders are encoded in our biology, are controlled by chemical processes we have no conscious control over, and fuel some people's fantasy. Its simply no good idea to motivate for that by creating such extreme situations like you have on a submarine. And that is the difference to for example Islam's attempt to eradicate all signs of feminity from public life so that disinhibited slobbering males must not start to rape them: by hiding women under a small mobile circus tents and lock them away at home: here it is about locking half of mankind from general public life and access to all of it. The submarine example is an extremely specific, narrow, specialised context not being representative for much else than itself. Thats why banning female son subamriens fo rme is okay, while bannign them form oublic life and give them dress codes is not. I see no contradiction there. I am also against women in combat infantry units - if they do not in full qualify in physical stress and strength tests according to standards used on males. But as Martin van Crevefeld once wrote in one of his books, statistical analysis - until it was banned by govenrments! - in I think the US, Canada, Israel, maybe Australia, i am not certain - showed that female personell in military jobs from infantry to technicians in hangars on aircraft carriers suffered 6 times as many injuries during their work on their stations, than their male collegues, and before Desert Storm and the 2003 war, female infantry suddenly saw a huge spike in pregnancy leaves. Well. Ideology never beats biology. A thick bone is a thick bone and a thinner bone is a thinner bone, and psychology is different a little bit in both genders and ruled by - hormones, sorry, to say so, but hormones are the hidden dicators we all obey, and far beyond just a reproductive context.

I'm surprised it has taken this long for the press to make it public.

These episodes are also an ongoing problem in the U.S and as you pointed out, in the armed forces of other countries. These may well be for the reasons you pointed out but equally so for a complete lack of discipline.

If you put a woman on a crossroad and have her undressing, or a male stripping in a female prison, don't be surprised you get riots and "mishaps". Better expect things to happen if you almost provoke them.

I wasn't saying that genetics doesn't play a role. However, I assure you well regulated military units are equally well disciplined. |

On SSN's its a different game. The quarters are much more cramped and that 4 month deployment might last a LOT longer and you can't hold to a tight schedule. On the other side of the Rape issue is the basic issue of Power and who controls it. An innocent conversation can turn sour quickly and all of a sudden a crewperson can be dictating terms to the entire command. ![]() |
