I'm not sure about the military, but with cops, they definitely have a thing for protecting female officers.

Mr. Howe was a passenger in a truck that came up to a sobriety checkpoint on Route 114 in North Andover on Nov. 25. According to the Essex district attorney’s office, a state trooper saw Mr. Howe “making furtive movements,” and another passenger in the truck told police Mr. Howe had lighted a marijuana cigarette a short time before and was trying to extinguish it.
Police asked Mr. Howe to get out, but he allegedly jumped out of a window, hit a female trooper and ran off.
Once they realized it was a checkpoint, Mr. Howe tried to put out the marijuana cigarette and put on his seat belt. Ms. King said authorities dragged Mr. Howe out of the car. The driver told her after that the female trooper yelled out she had been assaulted.
