I had a few years experience of the civil service after retiring from the RAF. The civil service prided iself on being an "equal opportunities employer". My experience was that, for every lady who felt herself harassed by her seniors, another one quite blatantly tried to advance her career on her back. Some succeeded to the point that one wondered how they had reached their grade and the only obvious answer lay in their physical attributes. And their "mentors" were often military!.
