Nubian-Two of my line sisters were in the Core of Cadets at VA Tech. (If you don't know what the core is, it is kind of a military school within the university. Only two of these cadet programs exist in the US, one at VA Tech and the other at Texas A&M (I think. They follow the same kinds of programs as VMI or the Citadel they are just part of a larger college). Anyway, although there were a lot more women in the program than what you deal with (not a lot by any means, but more) they dealt with the same types of situations, and one of them was actually the highest ranking person/commanding officer in the core her senior year! Anyway, she went on to the Navy as an officer and said she doesn't face the same kind of bias that she did when she was at school. She says that, in general, she has noticed that the older the teachers/officers are the more they show those biases toward women. Anyway, hope that helps some!!
