If you feel feminized, please do not blame the Sarah Piros of this world.

One rule bars female and male aviators from entering each other's quarters, while another policy requires escorts for women on base. While aimed at maintaining discipline, the segregation can be isolating, Strye said.

This is sound policy, but look at the reaction:

"If all the guys hang out and play poker in one of the guy's rooms, and I'm not allowed in there, I'll never be part of that group. I'll always be on the outside," which makes it harder to cope with the pressures of deployments, she said. Implicit in the separation, Strye said, is a mistrust that grates on her as a professional. "You trust me to make combat decisions to defeat the enemy," she said, "but don't trust what I do when I go into another person's 'CHU,' " -- a containerized housing unit.

I am amazed that you cannot see damage to military culture here; a breakdown of trust.

Nice try, I wasn't talking about myself, but rather for example, the men who got Title 9'd out of college sports.

I can talk and express my opinions freely on this forum. If I was a current member of the military and could not express my opinions (as is most certainly the case), I would indeed feel feminized.
