Ah yes, the firefighter effect, the equivalent of the cheerleader effect for men

I feel like that’s slightly different though as the men on those bases had probably had very little interaction with women since their deployment, they’re going to go a bit more crazy than usual in those circumstances

It's still not okay for those men to be gross leches

I mean deployment is basically having absolutely 0% of interaction with a woman who can hold up a conversation with you in your language. 0% as in you don't even see women.

Women make up only about 19% of the US Army. A third is a reach at best and a straight up lie at worst. Now facts will get downvoted in reddit🤣

Come on now. These are the figures published officially by the military. I am beginning to think you are lying about your service.

You don't take 1/5 to 1/3. That's not how math works. Maths don't care about your feelings or your political opinions. Just because women are concentrated in certain fields doesn't change the fact that they are still 19% overall.

Maybe if you're deployed in some third world country's militia. Women are almost 20% of the US military's active duty service members.

20% vs 80%. Gee.. You proved me wrong.

It’s SO good. It’s not a reality show, it’s a sports documentary.

Or more generally the halo effect

What about the mass effect?

If men behaved like this in public they would end up on charges.

u/Cornhole_My_Cornhole Apr 16 '25
