i know what you mean--100%--from having spent four years in as an enlisted grunt in a Marine infantry battalion (2/5). I remember sitting at the back of the squad bay playing poker with a group of 4-5 other jarheads, and occasionally, the OOD (duty officer) who would periodically walk through the command's barracks, would be a WM (woman marine). First time it happened, one of the corporals said in essence, to avoid saying anything related to sex, male, or female body parts, etc. It would have been simpler to just tell us to shut the hell up, because take those words away, and we had no other way to express ourselves (apparently). We all just remained completely completely silent from the moment she entered the squad bay on one end until she left out of the hatch on the other end.
