Not at all. I'm not surprised.(People really seem to be misunderstanding this answer. This answer isn’t really about me. The question asks, “Are you surprised… ?” No, I am not surprised.)“But women…”Let me make something clear: this answer is not about women.Every comment trying to judo this answer into a women’s perspective or a “but, women have it so much worse” is off-topic. That isn’t what the question asks. If you’re tempted to write such a thing, please don’t. (Instead, please go ask a new question.)This question asks, “Are you surprised that some men are afraid…”The question asks about your reaction to how some men feel.So, don’t bring any other gender baggage into this answer. Stick to the question.Now, I’m going to jump to the end, as a teaser:Prudy Gourguechon concludes her article that, “men don’t have to be afraid.” What she’s really doing is trying to reframe the issue. It’s not that men don’t have to be afraid. Some men do feel afraid.What Prudy Gourguechon is really saying is, “Men’s feelings don’t matter. They shouldn’t feel the way they actually do.”Really digest that. That’s the kind of deeply ingrained mutual respect we’re starting from.I remember a situation in college once. My best friend began dating someone new (a sister of one of my other friends). I didn’t really know her. I had never been in the same room alone.One day, my friend asked me about “the incident” when I grabbed his girlfriend’s butt. At some not-quite-specified time in the last week.Initially, I was confused. This never happened. Not only did it not happen, I had never been in the same room with her where no one else was present. I didn’t like her. I certainly didn’t find her attractive. Personally, I found her rather annoying in the few brief interactions I had with her.Nor had I ever—nor would I ever—grab some strange woman’s butt! (Unless I knew damn well it was welcome!) And still, 20 years later, I have never grabbed a woman’s butt (outside of a dating relationship).Now, I remember this conversation fairly well. Because there’s just nothing you can do to defend yourself against it, except say, “No. That didn’t happen.”“But of course that’s what you’d say.”My friend eventually said it was fine. But who knows if he really believed me or just didn’t care.I did ask this girl what her problem was. And I will never forget the face she made. A smile like this:“Oh yes you did.”But she knew, just as I did, that before that moment we had never been in the same room for more than a handful of minutes. And I daresay she seemed to find this frustration and helplessness on my part rather enjoyable. She was amused by it. And I’m just very confused. Why?!Maybe 8 years later, I was post-grad school. My housemate’s girlfriend tried to say something vaguely similar to a guy she was dating. It was extremely vague. Something about how she was taking a shower and she was in a towel. And… I don’t even remember what the harassing thing I was alleged to have done to her. While she was in the bathroom. In a towel. Behind a locked door.Yes, if you’ve ever lived with housemates, the mechanics and logistics of that are a bit mind-boggling.Anyway, it was complete bullshit. I didn’t even know she was in the house at the time. The only reason it was known to her boyfriend to be bullshit… is because I was on a lengthy conference call at the time. And one of the callers… was her boyfriend. Yep, he was also on the call. They broke up a few days later. I’m not sure what it was all about, but she was fairly melodramatic and histrionic and I think she just tried to rope me into her victim-drama as collateral damage.Why share these events I’ve locked away in my memory? Just to illustrate.In short, it’s really quite easy to be accused of doing something. Even when you barely know someone. And even when you’re not even present. The only thing that needs to happen? The other person needs to say something.True? Untrue? It doesn’t matter. That’s all an accusation is. Someone expressing some words. And they needn’t be true.So, let’s back-up a bit, because some people seem to be missing the point. That women should be believed. But please note that breaks the ground rule I established at the outset: you’re trying to think about women. The question doesn’t ask about that.Once again, the question is not about women. It’s about whether men feel afraid. And whether there is some basis for that fear, such that we could say, “Oh, yeah, I guess that fear response isn’t surprising.”Many woman talk about the perception of danger of, say, walking down the street and seeing a man on the same sidewalk. That, absent any other knowledge, they just assume this person could be dangerous. Not in the “a meteor hit me in the head”-could. But that there’s a perception of possibility that evokes a physical stress response.Well, men and women are both people, and they both respond similarly when facing perceived danger: they want to avoid it.The general danger to men is that issues with sexual harassment, the issues are tried in a court of public opinion and social media. There are no defenses. Guilt is presumed by nearly everyone. Even when the accusations are fabricated and demonstrably false. In some cases, even after the matter has gone to court, and the man has been vindicated.Talk is cheap and easy. And that cheap talk can—in very short order—destroy men’s lives, jobs, families, freedom, relationships, reputations. And here’s some gender equality for you: many men are the primary breadwinners and their spouses, children, and parents are very dependent on them. Whose needs should be prioritized first: that fresh-out-of-college intern or new hire who wants a mentor? Probably not.When an accusation is made, it can result in arrest, lengthy trials, imprisonment, and fines. And of course seriously emotional damage and, sometimes, suicide. (Here’s some more gender equality: male suicides are about 350% higher than female suicides.Right now—literally, this issue came up the very day I'm writing this—I know a young woman who is a friend is complaining that her boss made sexual advances and they had sex several times. Setting all statutes aside, she freely admits the activities were consensual and desired. However, she regrets it now—because she is married. To maintain her marital relationship and demonstrate commitment to her husband, she quit her job and now wants to sue her boss.She has a winnable case, too.(What’s the lesson to the male boss? Never, ever, ever engage in any kind of sexual talk or activity with an employee. That seems like common sense, I think. But, sometimes mutual attraction overcomes common sense. Really, the safest course of action is to do nothing. Do absolutely nothing that could ever be misconstrued.)As mentioned previously, your opinion of what really happened doesn’t even matter. The perception of the truth is quite malleable. What you think isn’t remotely sexual or harassment can be perceived—or dishonestly framed—to be that way. Pick up the tab on that employee’s lunch? Be careful. Definitely don’t make a habit of doing these little “favors”. When the opportunity comes, they may quite suddenly come to a new interpretation. Don’t make small talk. Just don’t do anything that could be misconstrued or mischaracterized. Unfortunately, the informality of mentoring collides with those risk-averse strategies.As an employer or a person in a superior position, you should presume just about anything can be used against you by someone with bad intent. And if the issue relates to sexual immorality, the trial will be “over” before you even know it’s happened. And—no offense intended, men—you (well, people) probably aren’t smart enough to recognize who’s good and who’s bad. And even people can do bad things when placed into positions where it’s advantageous to them to do so. (See above.)Why would a man willingly subject himself to these risks? There are reasons. But as Sandberg’s poll showed, it makes people less likely to volunteer for the job. People are right to be cautious of perceived danger, including the parts that are out of his control. And he will try to minimize the danger and harm. Even his perception is wrong.How’s that saying go? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The unintended consequences include all those mentoring relationships that never happen.There will be no new general discrimination against women in employment or in hiring on account of #MeToo. That would be quite illegal before and will still be illegal after.I try, as much as possible, to treat everyone equally and equitably. And to give people equal opportunities for growth. Whether they take those opportunities is up to them. It doesn’t really occur to me that I should even care whether an employee is male or female. But I certainly cannot pick out females by gender for special attention or opportunities, as that would be discriminatory and arguably unlawful too.But mentoring? That’s not even employment. That’s informal, social knowledge transfer. And men in positions to mentor—especially in a large corporate environment like KPMG—aren’t going to be more willing to take on those risks. Too much can go wrong, too quickly. Have an after-work drink with that new-hire to talk about the problems on that merger from 5 years ago and the lessons learned?Today, you might be playing with fire. You pass over that employee a few years later? Maybe you actually groped her. Or maybe you didn’t promote her because you propositioned her for sex and she turned you down. —It isn’t true? It doesn’t need to be. It just has to be uttered.While anecdotal, I personally do not know a man in management who has not had to deal with these issues in some way. We just don’t like to talk about it openly. Because it’s the accusations—empty words—that start the boulder rolling. And many of us fear that just mentioning the words out loud might carry the same social stigma.If I talk about it, my colleagues might think there’s some truth behind it. —What if they report it? Oh shit! Best say nothing.It’s like a little microcosm of the entire issue. When faced with doing nothing or something, people often choose nothing. Change is hard. Change can be risky. And the field of human relationships is risky itself—and especially so when there are hundreds-of-thousands or millions of dollars on the line.Prudy Gourguechon concludes that, “men don’t have to be afraid.” Which is like saying to women, “Oh, well, you don’t have to be afraid walking down the sidewalk.”Well. Her opinion doesn’t matter, does it? The fact we observe is that some men do feel afraid. And, as a result of that, are less likely to mentor. And that is an unfortunate reality.So returning to the question: am I surprised? No. Despite its good intentions, the uncritical culture we’re fostering strongly encourages men to be very cautious before beginning a mentoring relationship with a person they do not know.Do you really want to fix it? Create some serious penalties for false accusations.“But false accusations are such a small percentage of total—”Then there's really nothing to worry about. Right?

It does not make you a nuclear engineer. Officers do have a chance to become nuclear engineers through PNEO (Prospective Nuclear Engineering Officer) school, which is a course they must take to advance further in their career should they choose to make it a longer commitment - but this doesn’t happen until years after they join. Enlisted recruits and Officer candidates seem to like the notion of being a “nuclear engineer,” and, not knowing the difference, say they’re going to become one when joining up.This one doesn’t actually affect anything. Just thought I’d get it out of the way.The course work is stressful. The military needs it’s people out in the field quickly, both to save money, improve manning (and therefore moral), and frankly it’s just better training. All of these things make the Navy a more effective fighting force.Now, consider the fact that all of the individuals in the field are highly, highly intelligent. Some figures put them at the top 5% of Americans. Being that the US Navy is not an equal opportunity employer they can afford to cut the fat off the bottom (anyone who shouldn’t have joined but slipped through the cracks) and make the course work as hard as it needs to be. They can afford to shove information down your throat as fast as the average highly-intelligent person can handle. This means that things you might have covered in a week of high school or college might be condensed down and covered in just one day. This means that most students in the NNPP will be spending upwards of twelve hours towards their education a day, plus required weekend hours of study.You won’t be the smartest person around anymore. Most people who go into the Navy Nuclear field are used to being the nerd of the class, always being able to somehow absorb knowledge while half-asleep in class, without ever studying for tests. Those days are over. In my years of going through the educational program and now teaching it, I’ve only met two people who could coast through, and they had either eidetic memory or nearly eidetic memory.This often results in feelings of mental inadequacy. Unwarranted, to be sure. They just aren’t used to being the dumbest-of-the-smartest. It’s still something to be proud of.The US Military is not an equal opportunity employer. While they will often try to be “politically correct,” with who they recruit (I was told that as a White Male my chances of being an officer were slim), they do still hold to their standards. The military deals with life-and-death situations, which is no time to start getting emotional about “fairness” over who gets hired.It doesn’t matter if you have a legitimate reason outside of your control to be producing a lower-quality product, like it does in the civilian world.It’s rewarding. People, especially sailors - who are only happy when complaining - often have a tendency to focus on the negative, while ignoring all of the awesome stuff that becomes regular. “Man, I had to bounce the plant three times last night!” Translation: I started up a nuclear reactor not once, but three times in the course of an evening. “I hate going into the Crystal Palace on the weekend.” Translation: I’m attending the nation’s second most difficult educational institution, ensuring me job security that many Americans would kill for after attending the world’s premiere nuclear-educational institution, and save for a dishonorable discharge, I’m guaranteed at least a decently paying job post military.Keep in mind that while the work is stressful, after the training pipeline, you’ll be doing awesome stuff on the regular. “Awesome” will become mundane to you. And you can swing it in interesting ways; I sometimes tell people my job is Alchemy. I regularly turn metals into gold. It isn’t much gold, but I’m fairly certain I’ve made enough gold for a few rings in my years in the Navy. Getting that gold out, however, would be tricky.It’s more than just bragging rights… and less, at the same time. The guy in the ship’s barbershop that can’t cut hair to save his life is the same rank as you (or, if you went through NUPOC, is the same rank as the highly-intelligent enlisted guys that serve under you) and therefore makes roughly the same amount of money as a guy that has to perform continuously at near-perfection levels when dealing with complicated nuclear fission. The officer that can’t understand that a 100,000 ton warship has something called “momentum” and calls down to the reactor plant to ask why they aren’t slowing the ship fast enough, or speeding up fast enough, gets paid the same amount as the officer in charge of that reactor plant (if they are of the same paygrade, of course).Beyond that, you do some cool stuff. “Warheads on foreheads.” Humanitarian missions. Narrowly dodging errant cargo ships who blatantly disregard port officials. Stuff you won’t be able to talk about with friends and family, but will always have as memories with your sisters and brothers in the military.It means long hours. Schooling, fleet, or shore duty, you’ll often have a lot of work to burn through.“Strive for perfection, settle for excellence.” Performing perfectly often gets you little more than a “Good job today, folks.” Messing up gets you yelled at and more work. Excellence is a part of the job. Little mistakes can have drastic consequences, so all little mistakes are treated as if they do.The public often considers nuclear reactors to be raging death machines. In reality, reactors like the Navy’s PWRs practically run themselves, and short of an entire watchteam turning ISIS, little they could do would risk harming the public. This means that you’ll be fighting a constant battle against complacency. You have to operate to the level of danger the public thinks exists, not the one you know exists - which makes maintaining vigilance a constant battle of… well, vigilance.Don’t crap on your enlisted. This is often a sentiment civilians have of military officers; that enlisted are “lesser” than the officers. Enlisted may not (usually) have degrees, but they’re still people, and officers often have to rely upon the enlisted - not just to get the job done, but often for knowledge and backup. Keep in mind that Enlisted are able to get jobs to do many of the same things as officers. The opposite is not true.It’s still the Navy. Imagine effectively giving genius’s the license to be all means of vulgar and crude, then locking them in warships for months on end, standing watch with each other for hours at at time, watching nothing happen. You get bored, fast. There are only some many random “HEY DID YOU KNOW THIS RANDOM USELESS FACT ABOUT OUR REACTOR PLANT?” questions you can ask, and reading manuals about the plant often serves better as a sedative than keeping one’s mind engaged. They weren’t written by Brandon Sanderson or George R.R. Martin, after all.As such, when you enter the nuclear field, you’ll be entering a culture that is somewhere between college-level humor, middle-school-level-maturity, not-quite-MIT-level-intellect, ’80–90s references combined with modern pop culture nerdisms, and dark humor that wouldn’t be able to be shown anywhere on media, all governed by a pseudo-meritocratic system with a socialist payscale, which makes for a fair bit of angst.Not to mention you’ve got nerds who make a fair bit of money and can’t spend it for half a year - meaning you’ll see sailors who are pro-gamers who’s monthly expenditures are standard bills + 30 days worth of pizza + 30 days worth of beer + $15 monthly subscription-to-this-or-that game + $$$$$$$$ monthly payment for some super expensive sports car.Everyone has priorities for you. These will rarely line up with your own priorities.It’s not about the ribbons, medals, or rank. Not entirely. Rank matters - for the most part, particularly the rank of an officer (you at least have to respect them all, even if you don’t care about their opinion all of the time), and having anchors on your collar/rank tab/cover definitely matters (Chiefs). Otherwise, it’s what your qualified to do that gets you respect and authority.The only warfare pin that matters to a Nuke is the Submarine (SS) Warfare Pin. Others available to nukes are the Deterrence pin (only for SSBN sailors), Dive (submariners only, like the Subsurface) and for Surface Sailors: Surface Warfare, Air Warfare, and Information Dominance.But the Submarine Warfare Pin, affectionately know as “Dolphins” or “Fish” for the Dolphin fish on the pin.(Gold for officers, silver for enlisted)Why is this one important, but the others not?For one thing, Fish take a lot of effort to get. It all goes back to that whole pseudo-meritocracy bit of the culture. Submariners need to know a crapton about the entire submarine.Deterrence patrol pin?Some don’t wear them because they mark them as “part-time submariners.” SSBN crews are split into a “Blue” and a “Gold” crew, since the subs stay out so long. As far as I know, there aren’t really any extra requirements to get them other than to have actually been deployed on the sub during a patrol.Surface Warfare Pin?(There is a gold as well).Well, I don’t know how hard it is to get on “smallboys” (Destroyers, Cruisers, etc.) but on my carrier, it was about as difficult as my lowliest, easiest watchstation qualification. I put about a week of dedicated study towards getting my ESWS (Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist) pin…… and that was it. It was easy. It wasn’t anything difficult at all. What’s more, it was a requirement. Everyone had to get one by a certain date from their time on board. Why should I take pride in that? It’s no longer a mark of intelligence, dedication, or work. It’s just a marker of time onboard the ship, and an easy “check-in-the-box.” Seriously, people on my ship who didn’t know what significant event happened on December 7th, 1941 still had them, and yet idiots still lauded the pin as some great qualifier. We had a few non-Nukes trying to tell a Nuke that they knew more about the reactor plant than him just because they had ESWS and he did not (because he was working on qualifications that mattered. ESWS does not fit that billet). It doesn’t qualify you to do any extra jobs. It doesn’t make you look better on a resume. It garners no respect from people who matter to me, other than “You did what you were told to do, so you don’t get an SP eval.”Air Warfare and Information Dominance Warfare:Let’s just say that despite it not mattering, I’ve seen guys get made fun of for not having Surface Warfare.Not a single person at my current command has commented on the fact that I don’t have an Air Warfare pin on my uniform, and I’ve been here more than two years.That’s all I can think of for now. Sorry for the rant at the end.I’d recommend also going to an Officer Recruiter to learn more.
