Location: Florida | Had anyone else noticed that men who recently separated from the military cannot work with women?

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | That Chance guy is the one that stood out to me in that regard. I think he didn't have much of a home life and then being a ranger just wasn't exposed to women in any sort of leadership or professional capacity. That said, his original partner was awesome with him and I think made him rethink some of his notions. This season was mostly unmemorable in the man department. |

Location: Florida | Just in general they seem to lack respect for anything women say and do. Chance was OK, he came around but some of the others have been horrible. Even moving to their own shelter because they need space and peace and quiet. |

While I don't watch the show - just in passing - maybe his mind set is - someone is the leader, (his partner happens to be a woman) - and he feels his training is superior. Which, I have relatives who are Rangers, and it is superior to mine. I certainly would listen to them and follow directions if it was a matter of survival. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I think some of them are still working through emotional issues from their battle experience and use the challenge as a way to help heal. The worst offenders I have seen as far as being disrespectful to women or ineffective bullying leaders were not military. That one military guy that sulked and contributed nothing for half the challenge because he didn't like being bossed was a douche, but even he came around at the end. And he wasn't totally out of line to take exception to his partner's attitude, she wasn't innocent in that mess, but he handled it poorly. |

Haha, I don't watch tv, either, and was struggling to understand how the words "Naked and Afraid" are connected to the topic!
Too funny. |

I would venture to guess that this attitude started before they were in the military. Maybe issues they have to deal with from being in combat contribute but I would not blame it on being in the military. I am around quite a few ex military and they are the most polite, professional hard-working group of people. Also remember it is a show and there's somebody off-camera telling them to really play it up and create some drama. |

He sounds like a fear-biter. I see it all the time in dogs. |
