It is possible to have an attractive combination of form and function. Personally, this woman’s uniform appears to be neither comfortable and functional, or attractive.

Does the military go out of its way to make women look uncomfortable and ugly?


I think the military goes out of its way to desexualize the work environment for purposes of national security.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is possible to have modest clothing that is not sexualized and is functional, comfortable, and attractive.

It seems that the Army wants women to look like miniature butch men. ( Ugh!)

For example, our female SOTUS judges wear soft, attractive and feminine blouses ( that look comfortable, as well) under their judges robes. A little femininity doesn’t detract from their power.

Piddle. The uniforms are designed for men, and then the designs are modified for women, while trying to maintain the same general appearance. It's no wonder they (usually) don't look good on women.
