Exclusion is not default virtuosity, for ethics only exist within the framework of choice. Sadly, this is a basic doctrine upon which The Citadel and the Israeli Air Force, and every military institution for that matter, have been founded. But when women weren't around, they were obscenities, and scorned. If these are gentlemen, I'll take my chances with the boors. I could not agree more.
Militaries wear a veneer of chivalry that cloaks a profound inequality.
It seems that it takes the Shannon Faulkners and Alice Millers of the world to peel away this veneer, layer by layer.
