/// Two female Labour MPs questioned if a man would have been subjected to such swift military justice or similar public humiliation. ///

/// Gisela Stuart, a member of the Commons Defence Select Committee, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I am wondering that if she had been a man and it had been the other way around whether the [military] machinery would have managed to move with such speed. ///

Had it had been a man he would most likely now be facing a court-martial.

This is where it all starts to go seriously Pete Tong.
Immediately, the wives and girlfriends of the rest of the ships company start to worry, imaginations going into overdrive as to what else might be going on whilst aboard ship.
An ex matelot mate of mine said it was an absolute nightmare when women began to serve on ship because of the amount of flak the ships company would be getting via letters/calls from home.
And there are calls for females to serve in infantry units? Ridiculous.

a good question to start with would be what happens to the man in this case. But they aren't saying.
