    Default Military ahead of society - Gender Neutral terms since forever (vulgar language)

    So - circa 1992 I learnt to avoid gender-specific terms and use gender-neutral terms.

    It wasn't "He" or "she" - when referencing another Solider - It was "That shitbird" or "That fucker" or "That cocksucker" or "Fuckstick".

    And when referencing groups it wasn't "they" or "them" or "those guys" it was "that clusterfuck" or "those goatfuckers"

    What we said or called things:

    hands = dick-beaters.
    Mouth = cock-holster

    Feel free to add more.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Oh I don't know. Seems to me the "ladies" were always well-represented in the male ranks. I do believe the insinuation was quite gender-specific
