annaholmes:

My newest column for the Washington Post, out today, looks at the exclusion of women from special ops forces like the Navy SEALs, Delta Force and Army Rangers. I predict that the ban won’t last much longer.

Love this post. I am female and work as a radio and television traffic reporter in Sydney, Australia. Until recently I was the only female doing this job in this state. Now there are two of us. The company I work for has only ever had one female in a management role and that was over ten years ago. Brilliant! I look forward to more statistics on women in media that will piss me off!
