Congrats to them!
My friend Rocky once gave an honest opinion to an ardent feminist. When she called him the classic Male Chauvinist Pig he smiled and said "And your point is?"

I reckon it was inevitable in this day and age...I'm sure they'll perform well.

As a qualified submariner I congratulate them on their accomplishment, but I also see it as them getting no where. The physical standards are still different between the sexes. Make them the same and they will have my full respect and admiration.

Seiously, I hope the women do well on board and I believe they will. I do agree the standards should be equally maintained regardless of gender... <O>
