In other words, one generally does not see colleges or military units assigning a man and woman to live and sleep together in the same room, shower together, or change their gym clothes together. Likewise, Wal-Mart does not require men and women to use the same restroom. That's the case here in the United States. Or at least, it used to be. Recently, co-ed dorms with co-ed rooms and unisex bathrooms have made their appearance on campuses nationwide. nytimes.com In other countries, it's fairly common to find unisex dressing rooms. I once visited a hospital in the Netherlands where the OR staff shared the same dressing room. It was fairly common, according to my host, for the nurses to walk around topless as the doctors changed into scrubs.

The important point is; a male or female soldier should not have to go to sleep in a foxhole only to be rudely awakened by a male or female soldier - respectively - making goo-goo eyes or advances toward them. And, if that occurs, it should take only one brief report to a commanding officer to send the offending party out on the next helicopter and hopefully to Leavenworth. Unwanted heterosexual advances in a Military setting are both a distraction and an abusive matter, especially in a combat situation. .
