Written as a guide to young women contemplating a military career. Author states that sexism exists in today's military but that it is on the wane and there are steps that women can take to combat it. Author starts with a brief history of how women have served their country over time. Looks specifically at the 1948 Act and how although it was considered a victort at the time it was very discriminatory against women. Examines difficult period of 1950's into 1960's looking at marriage policies and quoting Holm. States that 1300 military women (non-nurses) served in Vietnam. Describes the disestablishment of separate women's components and the goals of the 1980s - integrating women and opening more jobs to them. Interesting review of DACOWITS. Looks at combat debate, assignment policies, and sexual harassment.… (mehr)

You know those questions Maggie poses in Extras? Would you rather be born with three legs and one arm or three arms and one leg. And Andy says ‘Well, it..’

So what about this one, derived from watching Four Corners on some of the niceties of behaviour in the Australian military forces.

Would you rather:

(a) be a girl in the Australian army, raped by a group of chaps in a bedroom with the door open so people can glance in on their way past; when finished with, get kicked out of the room naked; complain to the authorities and end up being fined for sexual misconduct.

or

(b) be a boy in the Australian army, raped for several hours with a vacuum cleaner; have a turned on (and I do cringe, having written that) vacuum cleaner placed on your testicles for a long period of time, it is also used on your body. When finished with you, you go to hospital to be attended to, your testicles in particular need medical help.

Me?

I would a hundred times rather be (a)

Which leads me to conclude that in some ways, being a girl in the army could be better than being a boy. Some sort of inadvertent positive discrimination towards girls, one could say.
