[Mixed gender rooms in the armed forces](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=855595), post #6.

You’re not going to listen because you obviously enjoy wallowing in self-pity but it’s painfully obvious that your fossilized notions of “man”, “woman”, "doing everything right"and “deserving” _are_ the problem.
