Transforming "Shedets" Into "Keydets": an Empirical Study Examining Coeducation Through the Lens of Gender Polarization	2014	64	.pdf	application/pdf	26098	1203	58	These five women represent the female Brother Rats, while many VMI men perceive the vast majority of VMI women to be shedets-women who do not deserve to be at VMI and who received admission, special accommodations, rank, and other honors primarily because of their sex, not because of their merit. '' Nor did VMI women show special allegiance to other VMI women.222 In preparing for assimilation, VMI established an exchange program that brought female cadets from coed- ucational military programs to VMI and sent VMI upperclassmen to those schools.2 2 1 VMI hoped the female exchange students would serve as role models for the first female rats and enlighten upperclassmen about how coeducation functioned at their home institutions.2 24 Unfortunately, tension existed between the female exchange students and the female rats they were intended to mentor, and female rats usually treated the exchange students as other at the encouragement of the first classmen.	cache/cjgl-13706.pdf	txt/cjgl-13706.txt
