[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a military family, was in Army JROTC in high school and considered joining ROTC in college but ultimately deferred. I was concerned about being put someplace in terms of job track that I didn’t want to be, but also this was not long after Tail Hook and I was apprehensive about sexual harassment and rape. Given what we now know about the rates of rape of female military personnel I am grateful for the choice I made - but regretful that a military career wasn’t an option for me over concerns for my bodily autonomy and the very high potential of suffering traumatizing violent transgressions to my body by coworkers and supervisors. Toxic masculinity is still rampant in our military and that is shameful and weakens us as a nation.[/quote] I feel like this was getting better for a while, but recently got worse. Most recent hit was the elimination of diversity promotions panels in the military.[/quote]
