As the dad of a female mid I have to chime in again.
How many "Blue Lights" do you see around the Yard? None. Why? Because they watch out for each other and rarely (almost said never) need them. Compare that to any - yes any - civilian campus. Dorms are locked but yet strangers still manage to wander about. Roommates bring first dates back from a night of drinking. A frat party leads to a girl passed out at the front door of the dorm and many walk right past. All of these are real events as told by my Mid's HS classmates of their freshman year at (in some instances) prestigious civilian schools.
So from a Dad's perspective I couldn't be happier.
Now lets look at how she's being treated at Navy. Ask your plebes who they turn to for tutoring? I'm guessing that the numbers are not proportionate to the overall ratios. Leadership opportunities, class rank, service selection, . again compare these to the population as a whole.
To the OP: Have no fear, the USNA is a great place for girls.
