Very well, and just for the record, I'm not on a crusade to change anything, I know the score so here goes, why do we treat women as particularly vulnerable and then seek to place them in harms way (in the name of equality of course) where they will be relied upon to rely on their mettle in a life or death situation?
I don't think that they are being treated as particularly vulnerable. Harassment and bullying are wrong, sexual harassment is worse because it isolates an individual feature in the same way as anti-semitism and racism etc..

Men and women join the services understanding and accepting the risk to life and limb that combat entails. They do not join to be bullied, humiliated and raped by their fellows in arms. Yes, rape happens to men as well.

Your analysis, I believe, uses a false premise that women are being treated as vulnerable by feminists and yet being employed to be put in harm's way. But, that's a different argument and this is not the right venue.
