The Confidence Code: Another self-help book for rich, successful women..

wow, how nice for all of the apologist who think any examination of negative gender stereotypes should result in a, ‘oh, but think of the poor boys!’ pity party that you are around to write such helpful schlock for them.

don’t worry dear, you’re successful enough to want to pull other women down to justify your own bs instead of just owning it so by a similar logic to your own there is hope for you to lean in yet.

First women move to Army platoon artillery jobs

First women move to Army platoon artillery jobs.

“The integration comes as the military struggles with an increase in reports of sexual harassment and assault and as Congress battles with the Pentagon over how those cases are prosecuted.

Some of those concerns were reflected in how senior commanders are preparing the men as women arrive – and what the men say concerns them, from whether women can keep up to whether the men’s salty language will be too offensive.”

 

No offense boys, but salty language is not assault. Try not to miss the forest for the trees.



“So far, he hasn’t seen any problems. It’s been “pretty impressive to see the women coming in and running circles around the men,” he said. ‘Most of my female lieutenants outrun my male lieutenants. On overall strength, the males are stronger. But the females – endurance-wise and running – really made these guys take their game up a notch.’ “

 

Yes, women have different body types but can be strong too. Kudos for dawn breaking on Marblehead, boys.

“Capt. Fred Janoe is in charge of Bravo Battery, roughly 100 people including two platoons – Requa’s and one other – and some support personnel. Before Requa joined the unit, there was a lot of talk about ‘is she going to be able to keep up? She doesn’t know anything about cannons. But when she got there, she was very impressive. So none of that was really talked about anymore,’ Janoe said.”

Yes, Requa is a US soldier. Congratulations on your platoon grasping the obvious, Capt Janoe.

“Men also worried about job standards being lowered to allow women to qualify. They wondered about favoritism and whether the men would automatically help the women, who might be smaller. And they fretted about swearing in front of the women.”

The faster the boys in the army can grasp the fact that women are soldiers too, the better the unit will function. So, congratulations on pulling your heads out of your asses, boys.
