You should hear the stories of those “older” ladies, friends of mine, who joined up with me in the 80s and all of us currently serving. Every single one of them were sexually assaulted, and misogyny and sexism was rife. None of them reported it because that was the culture then. Glad to say that this is definitely not the case now. Any behaviour like that, previously “accepted” is totally unacceptable now. Try treating “frail” ladies like that now and watch your career vanish.
