Unisex Army
Men And Women Shared Rooms In This Norwegian Army Base - And Sexual Harassment Dropped
The Norwegian army has created unisex dorms for soldiers, with female soldiers reporting they experienced a drop in sexual harassment as a result.
Trialled at a military base in the north of the country, the Local reported that each room had two women sharing with four men.
Ulla-Britt Lilleaas, professor of Sociology at the University of Agder, researched the reactions of women to the unorthodox arrangement.
One female soldier had purchased especially large underwear when she was told she would be sharing with male colleagues, but then reported that she had felt the gender differences less acutely than she had thought.
"To them there was nothing strange about the unisex rooms. They had entered a common mode where gender stereotypes had disappeared, or at least they were less obvious," the sociologist reported.
Another woman called the mixed rooms a "damn good idea".
“You have to be a team here, and then you have to live together in order to be able to trust in one another”, she said.
“There is no gender in the army, there is only green”, said another one of the interviewees.
Male soldiers who were interviewed said they found it easier to talk about more important things, rather than just banter or dirty talk, when there were girls in the rooms.
"They are much better at taking showers and cleaning, which is being emphasised as a positive thing by the management,” the research said, according to Science Nordic.
In the research, Lilleaas and co-author Dag Ellingsen compared unisex dorms with another training centre for the Royal Norwegian Navy, where women and men have separate rooms.
They reported: “It becomes us and them, boys against the girls. Another problem with girls’ rooms is that they in some cases fall outside the information flow. And they are often characterised by conflicts and cliques.”
It is not the first time Norway's army has adopted radical ethical measures. It announced in November plans to introduce ‘meatless Mondays’ into army diets, to tackle climate change.
I can just see this happening in the UK, NOT! The poor girls have to be protected from the men! To be honest, I would not go up against a trained female!

NME had the best letter ever from a non-fan
"Dear Kelly Jones, stop being so miserable or I'll come round and smash up your acoustic guitar you clag-throated troll. At least you got an NME cover all to yourself without your dog-faced drummer."

I love the drummer.
My missus calls him 'The Rat'. Heh heh.
His name is Stuart Cable. His mum is called Mable.
This is the truth.

Kelly Jones always says the stupidest things in interviews, one I remember particularly well was back in 1997 when he claimed that NME hated every band that came from outside of London and didn't sound like The Smith's.

I saw them at the Millennium Stadium (hey, free tickets) and they played EVERY song slower than on record. Sorry but if I was playing in the Millennium stadium infront of 70,000 people my tunes may have a little 'pace' to them.
Ploddy indeed.

I don't suppose you mean the Manics there by any chance?
