I think this is a good thing overall, but, Shell has some legitimate concerns. Thing is, it's a difficult situation to resolve. Military culture is really a macho guy's club, where toughness and strength is the highest priority. The fastest way to change all that is for more women to get into the military, especially combat roles. But women don't want to do that because of the threat of rape. It kinda turns into a paradox from there.
