Whiner.
About years ago, my daughter was offered a commission in the Marines. She worked with the recruiter (a great guy, BTW) as to the physical requirements she would have to meet.
She trained *on her own* and periodically with the recruiter. She was able to meet the standard required for a basic male recruit. My point? If this woman was a self starter like my kid she’d have trained on her own to prepare, not whined that the USMC didn’t make her train hard enough. Always someone else’s fault.
My daughter ended up turning down the commission for several personal reasons. She did later go through SFPD academy (8 months!) which was brutal. Women got cut no slack there. Which surprised the heck out of me considering it is SF.
“Women got cut no slack there. Which surprised the heck out of me considering it is SF.”
Being SF. . .how can you tell the men from the women, and besides, because it is SF, the girly-men are less masculine than the women. . .right?
Just kidding. . . .(no slam against your daughter)
The woman wasn't a whiner, she equalled or exceeded what your daughter achieved. At the time she wrote the piece she undoubtedly could exceed what your daughter could. She stated a simple fact that given the same opportunity as her male counterparts she believes she can meet the same standard as her male counterparts. What's wrong with that? Isn't that what equal opportunity should be about?
