People are weird...how could anyones gender compromise how they operate a vessel or supervise people? Some organizations are slow in adapting to a new normal. Women weren't allowed to compete in the marathon at the Olympics until 1984, one reason being it was feared their uteruses would fall out.

I like Prime Minister Trudeau's quote when asked why 1/2 his cabinet members were women, and he said "Because it's 2015"
