I’m a female...I made it a policy....and this was in the 70’s, never to meet with a male privately.

I think that’s smart. I spent most of my life in the Army. We pretty much lived in each others socks for the most part.

I remember a few men with ‘wandering hands’ but we females all steered clear and had a lot of fellow male soldiers that looked out for us, too.

I never felt unsafe or sexually harassed. Of course, I WAS a Trained Killer back then, LOL! I guess if you’re looking for it, you can see harassment anywhere. I never had any problems. Maybe I was lucky, but my two closest female military friends had the same experience - of NOT being harassed or assaulted. (And, yes. We were/are straight, had boyfriends and then husbands and then kids all through our careers.)

I traveled extensively with my Commander and was his driver for ages. No problems. We went fishing together and spent time with both of our families and the families of our extended circle of friends and co-workers.

But, military life is a whole ‘nother world. ;)
