I worked in a shipyard for 13 years, about 6 women, 20,000 men. Got to see how many men act when they think there are no women listening. Got over it, eventually. But they perpetuate much weirdness.. For example, if you have bigger breasts (a choice you made?) you are hot-to-trot more than the average gal. That women really want/think about sex as much as men, enjoy being solicited, told to "smile" as you walk along , etc. That a good way to get laid is join Big Brothers, "lots of single horny mothers". And so on, Nothing in this article was the least bit surprising to me except how polite the women were to these fools....in the shipyard, especially after lunch, I carried a very large wrench at all times!
