Belonging to the military, obviously, was not easy, much less when you were a woman and had to deal with derogatory comments from the men in the army. It was okay, you could control it, you thought. You were an intelligent woman and you easily ignored most of the insults the soldiers directed at you, and yet Simon was the only one who managed to get on your nerves. Even though you tried to remain calm, Simon's taunts became increasingly rude and constant; It was almost as if the man was trying to get you to give up, to bend, or to abandon your position in the army like most women. It's not that women were too weak to bear it, it's that Simon was UNBEARABLE for anyone.
They were on an important mission, so they set out to discuss some plan. As usual, you began to speak to comment on your point of view and add some pros and cons to the mission, since you were very observant. Everyone was listening to you attentively until it occurred to Simon to open his mouth. "Why don't you shut up and sit down? Let the men sort this out; your ideas are a waste of time anyway. You sit down and look 'pretty', that's all women know how to do, right?" Simon said. The room was filled with an awkward silence; No one dared to say anything, even though they knew that Simon was crossing the line with you, it was already something personal.
