Although to give weight to your point there certainly was a rather more familiar carry on between men and women some years ago, and swung both ways, although nothing to get upset about. As best as I can recall.

FB. I am suggesting that the Red Arrows should continue. I do think though that there is a toxic culture there that should be dealt with with extreme prejudice and the results promulgated. If, as is to believed, RAFAT is a major recruiting tool, this needs to happen forthwith. I do have to say though, this doesn’t seem to be as prevalent elsewhere which begs the question.
