Over the course of the last year we've heard a lot about misogyny.
Donald Trump's campaign has belittled women in ways we haven't seen in decades. It's sad, really.
That's why it's so refreshing to hear of the 10 women who last week joined 156 men in graduating from the Army's Infantry Officer Basic Leadership Course. The 10 women join Capt. Kristen Griest as the only female infantry officers in the Army.
“It is all about standards; it is all about uniformity,” Brigadier General Pete Jones said. “It’s Ranger, Ranger, Ranger. I think if you were to ask Capt. Griest, Capt. Haver and Maj. Jaster, they are not female Rangers – they are Rangers. I think it is the same thing with the lieutenants. It is lieutenant, lieutenant, lieutenant. They are going to be standing in front of their formation and they are going to be judged based on their leadership skills, not on whether they are male or female.”
