Unisex bathrooms, like the ones featured in the fictional law firm on the hit show Ally McBeal , may make for nineties-type entertainment, but voters are skeptical of the concept in military training facilities. Voters support military policies that separate men and women in order to maintain control during basic training and discourage sexual misconduct. The military requires stricter rules to preserve discipline, good order, and morale. Regulations banning sexual relationships between officers, subordinates and recruits should be retained and enforced fairly. The military does not require stricter rules to preserve discipline, good order and morale.
Voters view the military world as a separate realm from society as a whole.
Because of these physical differences, women in military training are not always expected to meet the same physical strength tests as men. Training standards should remain high and should be the same for men and women. The survey indicates that voters are torn when faced with a tension between fairness and physical fitness to fight. The survey indicates that voters believe that women are physically different from men, but at the same time are sympathetic to arguments grounded in notions of fairness and opportunity. Forty-six percent believe that the military should make allowances for the physical differences between women and men and provide separate standards for each gender.
