Would these men ever yell at their moms/wives/daughters like that?
The thing I don't understand IN THE LEAST is how normalized it is to be "yelled at" on a boat. There are only a few male skippers I've raced with who are able to refrain from yelling AT their crew (which is not the same as simply speaking loudly to communicate)... HOWEVER when someone becomes personally insulting, condescending, or drops curse words in there because they're frustrated... I mentally check out. I stop being able to concentrate, I can't keep calm myself, and then I turn into half the sailor I know I am because I'm so flustered. Which is exactly the opposite of what the person yelling at me was hoping for but they're the one who escalated the situation... its so ridiculous! Would they ever speak to the women in their lives like this or tolerate someone else doing that? Highly doubt it!!
I'm really curious how other people handle these situations... if we can't yet avoid them altogether.
