I don't think they segregate women. It's a uniform. It's uniform. I would complain that more often than not they aren't flattering(?) Towards the female physique, in particular the dress uniform skirt or dress. Apparently, in trying to find a happy medium between professional, martial, ceremonial, and retaining some semblance of femininity, someone inserted Victorian era matronhood.
Unfortunately, other than just removing the skirt/dress, I don't have any idea how to fix it.

Segregation seems to be the hot topic right now. I think that if you honestly asked servicemembers you would find no one really gives two craps...lol

Perhaps we should all wear gray blobs so that no one is different from anyone else.

Well, there is/was talks about making every branch of the US Military have one standard set of uniform.

It was kind of this way when we all wore BDUs. The only difference was that the Navy & Marines wore different covers.

Uniform styles do not isolate. They may identify or bring to light genders, but by that logic so does the hairstyle differences.

I am completely serious.

This article, in my opinion, is complaining for the sake of complaining. If the women who are supposedly feeling isolated, then they should also be complaining about their hairstyles, because the two things do one in the same.
