Perhaps the people here have daughters or granddaughters - are you saying that you want your children and grandchildren to experience this if they join up - after all, its just 'banter' isn't it - so when your grandaughter gets sexually assaulted you'll be fine with the fact that the conviction rate in the service court community is a fraction of the Civvy courts? After all, they're just a bunch of snowflakes.
Some of the posters here are admirably demonstrating why this problem is so very real.
Rubbish. 10% of women responded? How on earth is that a representative sample.
There's a good chance that a lot of this so called evidence are made-up half-remembered grievances from admin cases who didn't like being made to get up early and do their job.
During my 16 years, behaviour and deportment was excellent at every stn I served at. This is just pathetic virtue-signalling from a meaningless Committee.
