How do you feel about articles celebrating the first woman to do something?
I saw an article about the first woman in the Marine Corps to fly F-35 jets. Someone in the comments said these article irritate him as women have been flying for centuries, so it’s nothing new.
I think it’s great to celebrate these things, because in the past women have been put on the back burner and never really got the attention they deserved at the time (though they do now). What’s wrong with giving people attention for accomplishing something? People also do it for other races. Obama was the “First African-American president”. It’s good when someone whose a minority in something (not saying women are a minority in general, just in certain fields) is getting recognized, especially when they have gotten ignored in the past.
