Could you please explain to me what you think "bad faith" means in this context?

  Yes, military traditions are just that. They're not different for women and men.

    That's a bit disingenuous, for a service that has been overwhelmingly male for centuries. I little like saying "Our club is completely fair and traditional, even though we don't have any women's bathrooms. Tradition!" Remember this woman was an Admiral(?) and a groundbreaker. Maybe she made the tradition. Not a lot of Navy folk (publicly) wearing dresses before either. That was my point, badly made. There were likely no traditions regarding menopause or menstruation before women joined for instance. There was a need to 'make tradition'. Whether that applies to decorative dangly earrings worn during interviews, I suspect there was some part of tradition that was lacking clarity.
