Both the Canadian military and the RCMP went on record years ago, saying they didn't want women in their rank and file; that it would just lead to problems.  Crying discrimination, the women insisted they had the natural right to participate, and the powers that be were forced to relent.  Now the hue and cry is all about the violence, sexual harassment, and ongoing discrimination the women experience in the "patriarchal and hyper-masculine" culture of these organizations.  

Who could have predicted it?
