Back in the 1990s, there was outrage at the way in which Ridley Scott included what appeared to be a rape scene in G. I. Jane - the defence of the Master Chief being that this was what the enemy would do to female front-line combatants in order to manipulate their male counterparts into giving up information. The Tailhook scandal suggested that even in the absence of a threat from an imagined enemy, female military personnel may be at risk from unwanted sexual advances from their male colleagues, and particularly from senior officers. This year campaigner Naomi Klein has given this her attention and there has been some press coverage of the extent of cover-ups and intimidation of women who have accused other serving US military officers of rape, and Tuesday's Guardian reports a just-released documentary film on the issue The Invisible War and relates it to evidence from the UK. Prepare to be shocked.
