19y/o girl here wanting to join the RAN. Weight 80kg, can do 30 push-ups but women only need to do 6 to get in LMAO, run 8km, 8.1 on shuttle run -
Basically I exceed female and male standards of entry but I'm unsure of entering because of the huge focus on women and desperation to get as many in as possible. the idea that my accomplishments will be ignored because "I must of only got it because I was a woman" is understandable but extremely frustrating. The women I talk with who are in the navy are often tiny or overweight, however the roles they do are usually technical - but in the case of the ship sinking can I really count on these types of women being able to keep myself or anyone else afloat?
Aside from that there's also their personality - they wear full on make-up and don't put their hair in buns (Make-up not being allowed but buns and hair nets were requirement when I was in Navy Cadets for workplace health and safety reasons) and are quite flirty
one of them was involved in an incident where she was "good mates" with a male coworker, he hit her ass to hurry her on and she got him dishonourly discharged on account of sexual harrasment - "good mates" ...
TL;DR - anyone have any experiences or heard of any relating to women in defence? I'm determined to enter nonetheless but will struggle with respecting other women as men will probably struggle with respecting me so any tips would be appreciated
