Submariners literally try to make each other crack on a minute to minute basis, Its a traditional way of finding out who is psychologically fit for the worst.

I have a long term friend that retired from subs just a few years ago, I was Army and every knows those kind of stories, but his submarine stories were very different, with tales like what you described, it sounded psychologically intense and brutal and he said that if a new guy could not fit in that he had to go, he pointed out that if the crew turned on you, it was terrible.

You know what will happen if females become the object of that negative focus, the establishment will remove male heads until she fits in, no matter how many careers it ends.

Perzactly.

Yep. Been happening in the private sector for over 20 years.

And that's only half the equation. Men are pikers compared to women when it comes to dishing out negative focus.
