I have met only one Brit female military member (that I recall). She was a in the RN and stationed in Sydney during the VN war. She picked me up in a hotel bar, drank me silly and kept my bed warm for the next week. I have photo’s of her and I assure you she didn’t have “hairy armpits, hairy legs” nor hairy arms - she was, though, built like a brick outhouse in certain areas.
Sorry mate.
But is there something your mom forgot to tell you???
She must have shaved then

Don't they all?
In the US Army the increased numbers of women was, I think, relatively painless.
Women were in support units, not Combat Arms, so I think their impact was lessened.
Recruiting standards for women were generally higher then for males (meaning the girls were, overall, smarter than the boys, which the women knew all along) and the draft was over so we needed the “bodies” (no joke intended).
I was First Sergeant of a Company in Korea in the 80’s and my barracks was co-ed. I remember the proximity of the female soldiers was far down the list of problems we encountered, whether in garrison or in the field.
For the most part they could handle themselves when problems with sex were involved and were fine soldiers.
Some had a better moustache then I did
