I remember when I was in the military my fellow male soldiers hated having to change their behavior when a female showed up. I should say the better raised ones changed their behavior. A certain number would crank up their borderline sexual harassment and a few, of course, just went all in.
I remember reading a quote by someone to the effect that in order to be accepted, a female had to do things better, faster and smarter than a male but that luckily this wasn't all that hard to do.
I found that not only amusing but absolutely true.
