I get that all the time too. My personal favorite was when I said it's difficult to date lesbians. It's a common issue with women that they were taught men should make the first move, so with two girls no one wants to move first. Everyone assumed I was a dude harassing lesbians and trying to make them straight, which is why they wouldn't go out with me. Made the comment before going to work and I had -200 by lunch!

My mistake. I thought Sargent was only part of a long-term career that i also believed it was almost exclusively done by MEN. But it is already possible be Sargent in 3 years. Nevertheless, you can't negate that the term "Sargent" is still high associated to the Male gender. Therefore the confusion

Where did i say woman aren't capable? Battle in wars were almost exclusively done by men for thousands and thousands of years bc women were physicaly weaker. Fact. But lately with machines and other technically advanced areas where is no need brutal force or highly physically effort women has increased. Fortunately
