The Need for DoD Gender Parity
 

This summer, 15 Democratic candidates running to become president of the United States pledged that, if elected, they will seek gender parity in their national security appointments across government.

This is encouraging given the disappointing trends in this field. To highlight a few:

    The Pentagon currently has just one woman at the undersecretary level, and just 15 percent of senior defense officials are female.
    Similarly, the Defense Department has never exceeded 23 percent female of those occupying senior positions, as published by the New America Foundation.
    Nor have women surpassed 40 percent of senior positions (assistant secretary level and above) at the State Department, according to Heather Hurlburt and Tamara Cofman Wittes.

Now we need more gender equity?  Is the military supposed to have one set of rules for men and one women?  The USS Ford has no urinals.  That was to accommodate women, of course.  Why get rid of them?  What purpose did it serve?  So women wouldn't have to view men peeing.  Instead they get to see the pee on the commodes.  Trust me, they will be sitting on pee spattered seats.
