Making special accommodations for one group - private spaces for women, separate prayer rooms for a particular religion, etc. - but not for others, always sends a message that one group is more important or favored than another.
So if you have women-only places in a sub (or building, or whatever) but not men-only spaces, what message does that send to the men? And why is it allowed to be sent?
I'm not a fan of co-ed combat. First because of the ever lowering of requirements/expectations. Second because of the social dynamics involved. Given the number of pregnancies that the surface ships have, I can't imagine this going well. And it's not like you can just make port, or fly them home from a carrier easily. The point of the sub is no one is supposed to know they're there.
Something I've been pondering.

Good question, and the answer is always ‘privacy’…sigh

Exactly, although this administration doesn't seem to understand that!

George was pretty prescient regarding the current situation in America.
