Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
I'm from a country with mandatory conscription for men, so yes, I've been in the military and I've seen the misogyny (among countless other varieties of bigotry) rampant in that system from front row seats. We had a handful of female volunteer conscripts, as well as one of my NCOs was a woman, and it was blatantly obvious they were not recieving the same treatment as the majority of us who were men (and not in a good way, if there was any room for confusion).
Experiences like that are among the key reasons I'm not happy to see people keep perpetuating that kind of behavior, especially in other traditionally male-centric contexts like the IT industry and even here on this forum.
Whether or not you personally agree with the military's choice of language is not relevant. You're assuming the trainer agrees with your political views, but you weren't there, so you have no idea what they said or didn't say.
