Reply to comment by not-a_fed in Navy investigates submarine sex harassment claims - BBC News by MisterMovie50
In the US they just started having women on subs in the last 10 years or so I think….
Either the punishment for fraternization needs to be harsher, or they need to do a better job of weeding out predators.
Although it also needs to be a two way street: women on submarines should be discouraged from fraternization as well, it causes morale issues (and can spread STDs), and “unintended pregnancies” among enlisted servicewomen is higher than for civilians.
The navy shouldn’t short-change itself by not allowing trained women to serve on ships, but at the same turn both parties (servicemen and women) shouldn’t be fraternizing when the consequences means losing a trained crew member (pregnant women are not allowed aboard service vessels).
