[Khandro]

Is a submarine a sensible place for women?

Sqad, then give the men blow up sex dolls, women bedromm devices.
or manditory cold showers.

[Sqad]

fender....yes, they are all substitutes for th real thing, but I am not convinced that all of the sexual allegations of assault were indeed one sided.
Many women need sex as much as men.

[Paigntonian]

Astonishing question. Which century do you live in?

[tiggerblue10]

Sqad//ensuring a crew only consists of folk who don't find their colleagues sexually attractive.//

/////Or only hire ugly women?////

//Problem is that with an increasing time without sex, then even "ugly women" become attractive.//

What about the ugly men on board? Yuk!

[Sqad]

tigger, it is not the men who are complaing....see OP.
I bet that in tough sexual times a woman may, given the right circumstances give in to an "ugly male".

Depends on one's definition of ugly.

[Paigntonian]

Some absolutely appalling posts. "Women need sex as much as men". So it's OK to write 'rape lists'? Frankly, some of you should be repoted to the police. Have a nice day you would-be rapists.

//give in to an ugly//

Why would they give in at all?

[tiggerblue10]

**//.....ugly male//

[Sqad]

tigger why? you tell me.
Some would and some wouldn't.

I suppose the phrase " any port in a storm" comes to mind.

[Peter Pedant]

Mrs Sqad, put some bromide in his tea for cchrissakes....

[Sqad]

PP...she hs done about 40 years ago and would you believe, I think it is starting to work.

"Some absolutely appalling posts"

Not half

Damn hussies. Faced with female people of the opposite gender on a Man's submarine, what's a poor boy supposed to do.

[wolf63]

if a sub contains only women who is going to reverse it when needed?

[Togo]

Just what we need then, bi polaris nuclear submarines. Going down.

[gness]

Well Chris Parry seems to be having a slight change of mind. Probably since reading what Ben Key has said about the subject. I hope he puts his words into actions.

From the Daily Mail.

//Her medical records, seen by the Mail, show various people had noticed her self-harm injuries and reported them to the doctor.

Not long after, Sophie started a brief affair with former lieutenant commander Nicholas Stone, 37, a married father of one who was also based at HMS Clyde at Faslane.

'I couldn't go home, he couldn't go home – I was having a horrendous time and he knew that. It progressed stupidly on both our parts into having a brief affair.

'He was very much like my only safety net. I could tell him the horrible things that were happening.'

Then, she made a terrible error. On the sub just before leaving for patrol, she sent an email from her secure MoD account to Stone's Yahoo account, complaining about the patrol.

While doing so, she revealed information about her submarine's movements.

However, while the breaches were discovered before sailing, she was still allowed to continue on patrol, during which time she says she had access to top-secret information.

Returning home after the patrol, Sophie says she was recalled back to Faslane for a breach of the Official Secrets Act, as well as an allegation of expenses fraud – the latter of which she claims was down to her 'lazy admin'.
Sophie resigned from the Navy and pleaded guilty to these charges, she says because she feared facing hefty legal costs and because she 'naively hoped the details of the case' would not be disclosed.??

The rest as they say is Histrionics.

Women should not be permitted to go onto a submarine except when it’s docked so they may clean it.

//Miss Brook left the Navy when she was investigated and court martialled for sharing sensitive information about her submarine's movement in an email to her married lover.

She resigned from her position in January but was formally dismissed in June and handed a suspended four-month prison sentence//

Apparently, the Russian Navy has offered her a "job".
