Egypt’s first female ship captain has revealed she was blamed by hordes of online trolls for blocking the Suez Canal despite being on a different ship hundreds of kilometres away.
Marwa Elselehdar, 29, was working as a first mate in command of a ship in Alexandria when she started seeing online rumours which claimed she was to blame for the huge container ship that became wedged, blocking one of the world’s major shipping routes on March 23.
Despite already captaining ships, Ms Elselehdar will take her final exam to attain a full Captain rank next month and hopes that she can continue to be a role model for women in her industry.
"My message to females who want to be in the maritime field is fight for what you love and not let any negativity to affect you," she said.

The only question is-—which of the male members of the crew was getting to “know” her when the ship grounded.

She will hang. Or she will be shot in a drive by.

If she were to move here and become a citizen, would she be an African-American?

I'm willing to hazard a guess that she was trashed mostly by muslims that think she does not know her position in muslim society. You haven't seen any of the threads around her dealing with women officers in the U.S. military, have you?

If she can get away with it, why not? It'll open doors for her not open for Whites. The U.S. is quickly becoming a nation where Whites are second-class people, whose rights are not protected by the Constitution.

She’s lucky most Navies no longer require women to chop their hair short, into a Soup Bowl cut like Mo Howard (3 Stooges).
The Navies of today want to make it easier for women to consider enlistment.
Our American Armed Forces have become very ‘Liberal’ about hair requirements for women.
They seem afraid to say NO to any hair style whatsoever.
Black enlisted women have made a big deal about it.
One hopes it doesn’t become another example of Style over Substance.

I still want to know why the ship drew a butt and weenie.

If she were to move here and become a citizen, would she be an African-American? Nope.
The Affirmative Action and Census rules are quite clear. People from Mediterranean African countries do not count as African.
Thank the All Seeing, All Knowing, and All powerful Federal Government for this...
