They were talking about the military on “The Five”, and not being PC, and instead treating women like one of the guys instead-I guess like they do on “Battlestar Galactica”, or some of the cop shows. Why is this even an issue? I work with guys, and if I want to be treated as an equal, I’d better be able to laugh and not blush or be offended at sexual jokes, gestures, etc-I didn’t think anyone really bothered about that stuff anymore where men and women worked side by side.
You have the right attitude. You want to be taken as an equal, not treated special or fragile because of your gender. Harrassment or intimidation is one thing. But an entire culture can not change just because one female appears.
