Abstract
Five years ago the US military's long-standing ban on women in ground combat was lifted. But, writes Stephanie Bonnes, the 'bureaucratic harassment' of women has meant that many policies that have been rescinded have continued. Using in-depth interviews with US servicewomen, she finds that servicemen are able to manipulate bureaucratic policies to harass and undermine women and their careers, allow sexual assaults to continue, and to preserve male dominance in the military.
