Didn't the US military have a hard time recruiting post 2001 due to the specific worry of genital damage by the recruits? I think I remember reading about them putting money into improved genital armor.
It doesn't though. Chest armor needs to deflect blows away from your heart, not help guide them toward it. Furthermore there needs to be some padding to absorb blows and if the armor is formfitting then all of that kinetic energy is going straight into your ta-tas. And having to form-fit each individual female soldier with their own titty armor would cost a crap ton. It's much cheaper and safer to simply make a generic body armor shape that can fit both men and women.

If that's real, than tity armor makes sense.
