As a popular political figure, Webb has been the subject of many controversies. During his Senate campaign a group female graduates of the United States Naval Academy accused him of fostering an air of hostility and harassment towards them within the academy. In a 1979 article by Webb, entitled "Women Can't Fight", he said he had never met a woman "whom [he] would trust to provide those men with combat leadership", while he was serving in the Vietnam War. Webb also characterized the U.S. Naval Academy as "a horny woman's dream." He also had sexually explicit and sexist portrayals of women in his novels.
