There are a handful of jobs that are similar. It's the male dominant fields, with "exciting" or "adventurous" work that they can use for attention. I think a lot of them initially choose it because they aren't happy with their gender roles.
That part I can honestly understand. Especially if a girl grew up with a strong father figure/role model -she might want to be more like him.
Unfortunately, a lot of them lose track of that pretty quickly, and forget that there's actual work to be done. They want all of the respect and attention that goes along with those fields, but none of the work or responsibility.
And the very second you bring anything up about the lack of their work ethic, or them not contributing as much as the guys, they blow a gasket.
They pretend, when the right people are around, that they're all about the job. But as soon as the eyes have shifted elsewhere, they're more than happy to let all the guys do the heavy lifting, use the dangerous equipment, take the dirty assignments. They'll just stand in the back, ensuring their uniforms don't get dirty, taking selfies to post on instagram.
Then, their civ orbiters flock to them like moths to a flame to shower them with "oh you're such a hottie badass, you could totally kick my ass!" or something similar, "No way I could do what you do, and I'm a guy!"
They ride that wave of attention, checking for the likes and comments for fucking hours. As soon as the likes and comments fade, they post another one. Rinse and repeat.
So again, some of them might start out into these fields trying to fill some gap or void in their lives, that they felt like they could rise above their gender identity...
Only to fall victim to it by using their fucking gender as an excuse/scapegoat to pussypass the fuck out of themselves, THOT around with all the dudes who give them the time of day, and overload their brains with happy-chemicals when they discover how much attention they can get from being surrounded by horny guys.
They loved to hand out awards to the girls on my ship, and give th all the paperwork jobs.
That part always made me cock my head a little, and look around like, "Really? everyone knows what's going on here.. you're not fooling anyone.. Every fucking dude here has seen exactly what's going on, yet you're handing out rewards like these women have all busted ass and broken their backs in some sort of heroic way? And we just all are expected to what? clap? We're supposed to respect that? Because we just have to freely give respect to all women or something without it having to be earned??"
That's the part that bothers me. They want that respect to just be handed to them, yet work in a field in which traditionally, as a male, you fucking work for that respect. And if you are a grabass, you land into a session of wall-to-wall counselling until you either disappear or straighten the fuck up.
And somehow they still just get it. The awards, the respect, the work assignments. It's all just handed to them. And on top of that, we're still told how we are all oppressors of women, and how they are constantly bullied and harassed, constantly falling victim to men. We're always reminded that they never rise above it, because men are always there to keep them down.
So you'll excuse me if I look around a little confused, at pinning ceremonies, when I see a jr officer who everyone fucking knows came up through her career not by work ethic, but because of her genitals. You'll excuse me if I don't buy into that crap, because she was given every service award she has, every work assignment, every detail, all because of her vagina. You'll excuse me if I don't believe that bullshit because she's never done any of the work in her job description, always defaulting to some "safety procedures" or other bullshit excuse that always lets her get out of it.
You'll excuse me if I just politely clap but am dying inside, because the legacy of all those who came before is being shit all over, when those pinning ceremonies happen, because she got to where she is not by being a stellar example of leadership... but by sleeping with high ranking men who supposedly were. She found a senior leader that she could sink her claws into, and fucked him. Now he steamrolls all of her obstacles for her.
It's a rigged game, just one of the many reasons they create issues.
I won't go so far as to say they shouldn't be allowed to serve. I honestly won't. But those kinds of jobs, where men and women who are typically young and prime age, are required to live and work in close proximity... they need to be segregated.
They can't be mixing them together like that and expect it to work. That's how you get underground prostitution rings that happen on ships.

A high level of testosterone makes men smarter and more physically fit. Not more likely to go to war.

Cool story. Those of us that have served either a) don't believe you, or b) assume she's the 1/200 that pull almost their own weight.
