As in a lot of male dominated careers, women have to work twice as hard to be considered half as good in some areas.
I’ve fought the whole “boy’s club” mentality before.
I’ve been lucky that I haven’t encountered this type of bullshit very often. I don’t know if it’s just that most of the guys I’ve worked with have been good, or the fact that they know I won’t tolerate it.
This even cuts to the male dominated attitude that testicles and service like police, military that men have to be super heros, and if a woman does the same somehow it is not the same.
Doctor, fire responders, police OR military, why the fuck would I care who saves my ass or protects me solely based on what is between their legs?
I DON'T give a fuck about gender roles. If it is an act of compassion it should not matter who does what or what gender saves the other gender.
I have long accepted that men are not all Rambo, and not all women are meek and weak.
Anyone suggesting that sex organs define might or morality are fucking idiots.
When my brother returned home from basic training with some friends and I happened to be visiting, I confronted them when I overheard them refer to female soldiers as “portable combat mattresses”.
Needless to say, they got quite the earful from me!
