Kate Wilder passed every test at the Special Forces Officer School in 1980 but was prevented from graduating. An investigation determined she had been discriminated against and she was awarded a backdated diploma https://t.co/LJuScJkOpI

Spot on - facts are facts.

Women in SOF/Combat arms is a complex issue that becomes an emotional issue due to the most vocal extremes of the argument.

What is not complex is that women have been in SOF as long as we have had SOF, starting with the OSS.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Women aren’t held back because they are more committed to their families than men are. The real problem is a culture of overwork that hurts both men and women — and locks gender inequality in place. https://t.co/W9GxNSAQQo

As 7-year old honorary Navy enlistee Tabitha Nye battles brain cancer, she received some support today from her shipmates from VAQ-130, who dropped in for some moral support. #Tabitha #FlyNavy

Yesterday I asked a friend how she liked her new boss. She replied that he was “Nice. Never really replies to my emails but at least he’s not a creep or anything.”

And it struck me how low our expectations are as women for what it means to be treated decently.

Proud of recently commissioned Naval officers @na_paraiso and @krasnican_ for tackling the politicization of the military and calling for Americans to keep our military accountable.

Congratulations to @AN_Goldstein, our Research Director, for spearheading the House VA Committee’s Women Veterans Task Force to identify and address challenges facing our women veterans!

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

My wife is rightly pissed by headlines like this: “Stephen King and his wife donate $1.25M to New England Historic Genealogical Society.” The gift was her original idea, and she has a name: TABITHA KING. Her response follows.

#OTD 25 yrs ago: Aldrich Ames, one of the most damaging moles in CIA history, was arrested by @FBI

A small team of CIA officers, led by an unassuming gray-haired woman named Jeanne Vertefeuille, worked for 9 yrs to uncover the mole & bring him to justice

In case someone throws out the "women just aren't good at/interested in STEM because of biology blah blah blah" argument to explain the gender imbalance in U.S. STEM fields, there is a ton of cross-national research that blows this argument out of the water.

[Lyla Kohistany @LylaKohistany]

As a Muslim woman, Afghan immigrant, and former Naval officer, I was proud to march alongside my Jewish sister-in-arms @AN_Goldstein. We marched to honor our military sisters who have borne the battle and in memory of Chief Shannon Kent (RIP). @womensmarch @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib

Women start businesses at six times the rate of the national average, so why does investment in women-led #startup companies continue to stagnate? @pkfletcher investigates a complex issue with a not-so-simple answer: https://t.co/GBYBowfuiG via @StartupNation
