death mutiliation and rape are bad things. So is being publicly groped at a convention of your fellow professionals. No equivocation that if women are willing to face combat they should be willing to be the objects of molestation and harassment from anyone, much less other military members.
I think the point is that a woman who in theory should be ready to deal with combat, should be able to deal a bunch of rowdy drunks trying to grope her.
If my male personality was in a female body, and some drunk pilots wanted to set up a groping gauntlet in the hall, my response would have been to walk away and come back with the first fire ax I found, and politely ask them who wanted the first piece removed
I would agree with that. So long as the women can shoot missiles and machine guns at the molesters and harassers first.
