Haraka ,lI find this all a bit disheartening as an implied reflection on some of the superb RAF Women Officers I have worked with and for.
I do not disagree with you at all, my best boss by far was a woman (hope she doesn't read this as she'll gloat for ages!). What I would like to see is the best person for the job, not someone fulfilling a quota. Could we not be sex, creed, religion, sexual orientation, like/dislike of Star Wars (or other fantasy guff) agnostic?
