I would say that there's a lot of push maybe to put women in places without necessarily thinking about their safety. For example, the gender advisers are looking at the civil society and how safe they will be when the military people come in, but are they looking at the people in uniform and their safety when they're deployed? I was not allowed to lock my shower when I was at sea. I was told to not lock my shower. When I said to them that people were walking in when I didn't lock it, I was told to take my shower at night. You're not allowed to lock your shower because if you hit your head, somebody needs to be able to help you.
Those kinds of things haven't considered the gender factor. I would rather take the chance of hitting my head on the wall and lock my shower. Same with your bedroom. When you're asleep, you can't lock your door because the next person has to wake you for your shift. For me, there's an intercom system that could have been used. I was the only one in my dorm.
Those are the kinds of things where, if you are in a setting of deployment of submarines or anywhere, you can look at the environment and ask what we can do to prevent things. What things are unnecessary but we're just doing them because we're so used to being with men only and we haven't really had to think about these things?
