Bullying and abuse have no place anywhere, especially in the military.

It’s no secret that the US and UK militaries (especially on aircraft carriers) report female abuse by male colleagues in a way that they literally organise brothels. It’s creepy and deeply disturbing. If they wanted to they could stop it but most of these young guys are maniacs, commanded by maniacs, who are then commanded by a lunatic fucking government…but hey…is all good as long as there is a war to play 🙂

It’s beyond time for change. Every person deserves to feel safe at work.

I have a close relative who worked on a nuclear submarine. He was relentlessly bullied by the superior officers.
Too the point he did something really drastic that I’m not gonna say online.
So I can see this being the case for women in the navy too.

It’s almost like 1/4 members of the armed forces experience sexual abuse atleast once annually. The entire military has a very poor culture with dealing with sexual assault.
And the British military is relatively good compared to other militaries. Just look at the ‘traditional values’ in the Russian army where rape is a normal way of asserting authority over subordinates (several of these incidents have even been recorded by Ukrainian drone units on the front).

As awful as it is, it seems naive in the extreme to be surprised.
Perhaps have a sub (or subs) that is all women? This protects them, gives them much greater agency within the service, promotes equality of role and will immediately prevent further occurrences of this nature.
