The Navy is hell-bent on adjusting job titles to suit gender equality, but the bureaucracy is stumped on changing the clerical position of “yeoman” and has mulled over alternatives like “yeo-person” and “yeo-specialist” as replacements.
But up to this point, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Michael D. Stevens has rejected all these new alternatives to the administrative position of yeoman, The New York Times reports.
As part of the effort to integrate women into all combat roles, the Navy has pushed to make job titles with the word “man” more gender neutral, preferring titles like “technician” and “specialist” over “rifleman,” “mineman” and “assault man.”
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has been at the forefront of making the service more hospitable to women. He opened submarines to women in 2010, and in 2015, he tripled maternity leave to lower the number of women dropping out of the Navy. He also has advocated to open all combat roles to women and bashed Marine Corps leadership for submitting an exemption recommending otherwise. Despite a Marine Corps study showing that mixed-gender units vastly underperformed relative to male-only units, Mabus insisted first that the study was biased, and second said that even if the study were solid, at least some women would be able to make the cut, so opening all combat roles to women was the right step to take.
For Mabus, changing job titles is clearly the next step to making women feel more comfortable.
No title modifications are yet final, but in the next few weeks, Mabus will deliver formal recommendations.
“There may be a few iconic titles you are not going to change because they are so deeply rooted and have been there for so long that they don’t denote gender,” Mabus told The New York Times.
His singular obsession with increasing diversity in the military has led GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter to call for his resignation.
How man guys on those landing craft machine guns would have shot women soldiers who would have tried to stay on the ships instead of running into gunfire and mortars?
Look for redubs on the Star Trek episodes on this. I dont know how they swap the skirt uniforms for pants though.

Yeo. Is more needed?
Yeoster? Yeoie?
I am so glad I served when I served. It is different now.
Not sure I would enjoy the atmosphere in the military when men are woman and woman are now men!
It is embarrassing, but that isn’t the part that bothers me. The part that bothers me is the liberal conversion of the US military from a fighting force into a government jobs program.
Blood is going to be shed, and battles and wars are going to be lost because the military is more concerned with things like maternity outfits, transsexual opportunities and cultural sensitivity than they are with shipboard damage control, CEP of munitions, and infantry tactics and logistics.
It is criminal. And the people responsible for this are going to be the loudest voices looking for scapegoats when it all goes wrong.
Yo-57-genderite.
At what point will they not realize they are fools?
The problem is, men are being treated as women, and women cannot be men, even though the liberals pushing all of this believe in the fantasy of a 120 lb woman engaging in hand-to-hand combat with a 170 male, and emerging a victor.
Facts are going to be stubborn things. God help us.
Yo-yo?
Yeo Ho! Blow the man...................
Nothing wrong with gender specificity:
Yeoman and Yeowom.
Have JPEG, Will Travel. ;-)
I can only use humor to mask my genuine reaction to this abhorrent idiocy which if expressed in the salty language these REMFs deserve would get me banned and the forum prosecuted.
Just mothball the fleet and send everyone home. With this idiocy we are going to hurt someone bad, sink expensive hardware or start a war we didn't want with someone we didn't want it with.
Yeoguy / Yeogal?
P.S. - a war we will lose because winning is one of those male things that is politically incorrect, too.
Yeo!
