Answer 2

I'd say certain guys find you threatening. I'm a firefighter in Aust. and it's the same. If anything we work harder to prove ourselves. Just ignore the little men who treat you that way

Answer 3

Pretty much.  I got the same c**p in the Marine Corps.  Some guys don't have a problem with things like that and others do.  Just keep your chin up, do your best and never stoop to their level.
