However, I feel like Neville Shute when he wrote in his book A Town Like Alice a person has to be a little around the bend to see the road ahead. I suggest to the review committee that public gender-policy is seriously flawed at a fundamental level because it is based on the false principle that creating a policy-ideal can and will change the powerful drives of human nature. I believe that I can talk from both personal experience, and from socio-philosophical studies since leaving the RAAF after two operational tours in the Far East. I graduated as a pilot on number 3 course from the RAAF Academy, [removed]. I do not excuse improper sexual behaviour, but I make the point that it is, and will continue to be inevitable for the following reasons. From a theoretical point of view, what is the fundamental, logical rationale for recruiting men and women who are physically, mentally and emotionally dynamic, at the peak of their sexuality, then training them to be warriors, a profession well known for its testosterone generation, and putting them together in a semi-cloistered environment, and then expecting the testosterone to remain dormant? Natural drives, given the appropriate circumstances, will always override human, idealistic policies and wishes. When males and females are cloistered, there will always be a degree of sexual tensions and anxieties seeking an outlet and which no policy dictates, moral training or ideals will eliminate. This situation is exacerbated by the defence policy relating to homosexuals From my personal experience, the problem of gender mixing has many nuances. [removed] RAAF Academy was male only: after a days stimulating classroom studies, followed by a rugged football match, at times the faint odour of semen could be smelt in the corridors of the living quarters, attesting to the high testosterone levels. The WRAAF on the base were well aware of our cloistered life and suppressed (not dispersed) drives: it was easy to get an assignation with the more sexually vibrant WRAAF: more often than not, they were the initiators: and the more mischievous WRAAF would tease and tempt Cadets to a point of frustrating embarrassment some wives on the base were also guilty of this feminine wile. Has human, idealistic policy managed to change these natural instincts and chemistry of females? If not, why do we expect human policy to change the instincts and chemistry of males? If this illogical trend of feminization of Governance continues, just to reinforce the idealistic concept of gender equality (as distinct from equal rights), the country will lose out in several ways. Firstly, the exceptional energy and innovation potential of some offenders will be lost to the Country. Secondly, our society is already feeling the heat of social disorder because children are not being brought up by parents. If more parents do not remain at home 24/7 for their childrens nurturing, our future world will be based on computer game fantasies and Hollywood style media celebrities, (as witnessed by the increasing rate of children suffering from computer neurosis). Giving birth, then providing generous spending money, social media, and a roof and meals, is not nurturing children have to be consistently taught qualitative beliefs, values, and direction that they need, if they are to become mature, happy and useful citizens: doesnt society needs such mature adults if it is to remain peaceful, stable, fair and prosperous? When does essential nurturing (a 24/7 task) occur if both parents work significant hours outside the home? Prosperity has made the philosophy of breadwinner and home-maker redundant: in doing so, the necessary nurturing, and the provision of a caring home and sanctuary from the outside world while preparing children for adulthood has also become redundant, with the result we are left with a rule-free generation, and a get out of my way generation to shape our future society. I wish to make the point that gender issues are a consequence of and involve wider, more fundamental long-term social issues that need to be addressed before the gender issue can be resolved in a socially beneficial manner. How does it impact fundamental social nurturing of our future generation? Will the Defence Force permit homosexual married couple serve in the same unit? How complex do they want to become? Is the ADF reducing its effectiveness with each complexity? What practical options can the Review recommend?: 1. Maintain the current structure, and expect cleverer adaptations of the problem in the future?, OR, 2. Separate the genders during training, and allow the integration to occur at the operational stage. (At the operational stage, they will be more mature, and not so cloistered. During training, information is coming to them from others, and to a large degree, others look after their needs, and thus there is minimal demanding pressure to orient their self-responsibility. At the operational stage, their knowledge has to flow from them, they are forced to develop a stronger sense of self responsibility and contribution, and relate to the other gender at a professional as well as a social level)? 3. Bite the bullet of reality, confront the bothersome situation and remove it by banning mixed gender operational roles and encourage support roles that require separate training. However, I suggest that the feminist movement now has too much power, and too little social awareness of our minimal nurturing ethos, for anyone to affect such a change. For example, the review is all about women; would the review not be more impartial, comprehensive and unbiased if it were about Gender Relationships In The Defence Force, that included the impact of homosexual gender.
