Sniveling is not a trait valued by men. While on annual training, an administrative unit was sent to the field. Staff Sergeant Goff, a male noncommissioned officer, did not go with the unit, instead finding a mission that needed to be done in garrison. When pressed, he elaborated by saying that Staff Sergeant Goff was allergic to the field. It was clear to the evaluating officer that Staff Sergeant Goff was not respected in the unit.
Men generally use more profanity in conversation than women do.
As disgusting as it may sound, it is seldom meant as an insult. For the record, in and of itself, profanity is not sexual harassment. For most women, this takes some getting used to. Although you may personally find profanity offensive, making an issue of your objections by asking men to stop using profanity in your presence can single you out as being different not a real soldier in their eyes. Of course, there are exceptions, particularly when you are the leader and the profanity is gratuitous and inappropriate.
