Female soldiers in Army special operations face rampant sexism and harassment, military report says - eviltoast

U.S. Army Special Operations Command, in a lengthy study, reported a wide range of “overtly sexist” comments from male soldiers, including a broad aversion to females serving in commando units. The comments, it said, are “not outliers” but represent a common sentiment that women don’t belong on special operations teams.

“The idea that women are equally as physically, mentally and emotionally capable to perform majority of jobs is quite frankly ridiculous,” said one male commenter. Others said they’d quit before serving on a team with a female, and that serving in such a situation it would create problems and jealousy among their wives.

      I strongly believe that everyone should work a customer service job like retail or waiting tables. It would make a lot of people less of an asshole when interacting with employees.
