generally speaking, a lot of sexual harassment and assault that people speak on has to do with violent assaults, date rape, hazing, taking advantage of inebriated, etc - and all of that is stuff that's drilled into the enlisted side hardcore on a monthly basis or even more frequently. its also very, very easy to throw the book at someone of lower rank. shyt, it even makes you look good for being tough on sexual crimes.
when it comes to the officers and staff ranks... that's when you'll see a lot of coercion, power abuse, and stuff of that nature. also no one is worse on women than other women. i've been in plenty of meetings where all the guys were on the same page about a known scumbag being a habitual line stepper and the one female in the room will be like "well she's always flirting, maybe this will be a good lesson for her" with some off the wall shyt. also you'll see HUGE ranks just do whatever they fukking please because they know they're untouchable. then you've got people hit with the "you want x assignment? what that neck do" and its not even their fault because shyt.... girl gotta choose between making an old man's dikk jump for 5 minutes or do a few tours then the choice is easy when they've put up with guys who want the same but WONT fukk their career for it.
everyone tries to make officer life sound like a breeze but that's where most of the shady, backstabbing shyt goes down. officers as a rule shouldn't trust one another
