I made that comment because some people like to equate the problems caused in mixed gender units (units with men and women) to the problems that might arise from units having gays in them. There are no mixed gender combat units in the US military. There are gay men in our combat units. But there is a big difference between women and gay men and how men treat women as compared to how men treat other men, even gay men.
you are overestimating that difference because you are discounting the continued presence of sexual tension. since you have never been part of an all-male unit, you don't recognize the distinction between its' presence, and it's lack.
