And after too many years in the military I've seen and heard such filthy misogyny, it would make your vagina curl up and die. So it doesn't help when a female "colleague" pulls the simpering female act to get out of a task.
I get it. I really do. I have witnessed the violent abuse, I have heard the many many tales of it. I have seen the after effects of the rapes, the bullying, the being pushed down stairs when no one is around to witness, the tripping up of women with their packs on out of resentment. I have seen the effects on my female friends who got out of the military due to the constant fear 15 years ago, still trying to cope with the PTSD that never leaves them.
I also understand there are some women who will try to pull that trick of simpering, and maybe they will succeed in getting someone else to do their job. Maybe they won't.
However, having a lighter pack, and making some allowances for female bodies is necessary though.
