Can't think of a way to explain without sounding really dumb and/or offending one or both genders. There is a dramatic personality and attitude change in a lot of cadets, much different from what I'm used to, that occurs when they come here-- largely due to a male-to-female ratio of 4 to 1.

The idea being that both young men and young women placed into a high-stress environment will behave in unpredictable and maybe 'abnormal' ways to cope with that environment? This effect being exacerbated by skewed gender ratios?

Whoa, slow down there Cadet Pabs, that's some radical stuff.

I just prefer this sort of shit to be simpler.

I don't recall hearing any classic hip-hop anthems that address how to maneuver within the socio-sexual norms and mores of a military academy.
