I agree about equality - whether women ought to be on the front line of todays' shrinking forces, with the inherent risks to themselves and their colleagues is another matter, which sadly transgresses equality.

As for any person on the same side ( man or woman ) making unwelcome advances, they should be severely disciplined; however there is the case where some women will say " if you don't follow my line I'll scream " -

Which is doubly awful for genuine victims and a career wrecker for innocent people...No, not a personal experience but it happened - in the vindictive way - to a friend who is one of nature's true gentlemen, after he remarked a woman soldier ought to be able to carry her own kit-bag !
