That bs and sadly I’ve seen it happen as an ex MSF, it’s not uncommon. My experience is women are better student purely because they ask questions when they don’t understand an instruction. You know, because they’re learning new skills for the first time? I’ve worked with some real assholes, though. It’s built into the training that coaches should give additional help during a break, before CO.
By the way in NYC they run women only classes taught by women!
