I find it very humorous that someone who readily admits that they say things that are not appropriate and even offensive in some quarters thinks it OK to take a shot at a woman who has achieved more in her life than I suspect her detractor(s) have or ever will in theirs. When she is sitting in her command chair on the bridge of a nuclear carrier where will you be? And what great service to society will you be providing? It's best to remain silent than to open your mouth and remove all doubt regarding your intelligence.

Don't worry drasticplastic, Maxim is an inhabitant of the European Union: that's why we left!!

Maxim, your position is appreciated but do get a life!

To all others bothering to read my rant: for crying out loud, this is not "Twitter." Let's stick to the point.

Haijun watcher: Thanks; your work is appreciated.

You should feel embarrassed for still making such primitive sexist jokes. It does not help that you call it "politically incorrect". It would had perhaps helped to call your own joke "extremely stupid".

As written before: it is shocking and deeply frustrating that there still people who really think such jokes are funny.

For the First Time, a Woman Will Take Command of an Aircraft Carrier
9 Dec 2020
Military.com | By Gina Harkins
In a historic first, the Navy has recommended a female officer to command an aircraft carrier.
Capt. Amy Bauernschmidt is one of six officers recommended to command a nuclear-powered carrier in fiscal 2022. Also selected for the job were Capts. Colin Day, David Duff, Brent Gaut, David-Tavis Pollard and Craig Sicola.
Naval Air Forces did not respond to requests for comment from Bauernschmidt, or questions about when the captains will be assigned to carriers and what having a woman serving in this role will bring to the force.
