This story has a good ending which I kind of fought fire with fire. I was a 2LT in the MA ARNG and at the end of the commander's meeting when we were out in the field some of the service members would pull out copies of Playboy or worse Penthouse and the like. This made me feel unconfortable because they often would socialize a bit after the meetings and I wanted to fit in. Before out "Annual Training" I bought a couple of Playgirl magazines and had them in my briefcase. The next meeting they pulled out their magazines I pulled out mine. They were so shocked, dumbfounded and I guess they felt uncomfortable too that they never pulled out any pornographic anything at any meeting I attended ever again. I don't think men really unstand why pornographic material makes women feel uncomfortable but when the situation is reversed they understand in a way that ordering men to not have it ever will.
