Last time I checked, that was called victim-blaming (though I never viewed myself as a victim). I never gave that impression. When you are in a unit of nothing but men and you deploy with them to a war zone, you see the true colors of many of these "happily married men" who attempt to see how far you will go. Thankfully, I have my integrity and would never have done anything with anyone---especially with people who were married or attached in any way. Please don't assume that because I had been sexually harassed on numerous ocassions, that I "asked for it" or that I conveyed a particular image to get unwanted attention. I could tell you horror stories of the things that have been said to me by people of the same rank and even superiors. .

I don't think that DGTess was saying anything about your experiences - just that hers was much different and she felt that her colleagues had recognized her for her education or experience? Without regard to her gender?
Returning to the topic- why is it that you do not agree with feminism? Or womanism?
Do you feel your GLO experience influenced that?
