NavyLady,
Thank you for your daughters service.
I am sorry if you feel any of my posts were meant to disrespect your daughter, they were not. They are posted to create awareness and consideration, nothing more.
My DD is in a similar situation, a first board awardee deciding where she will attend college.
Facts are facts. I have had many conversations with my DD as to the challenges she will face in her career. Denying bias exists does not serve anyone. Understanding them and how to present yourself is part of the key to success.
The challenge with having quotas is, if you fall into a category, everyone will assume you got there because of a quota. You have have to prove yourself twice as much.
Is this right? Is this fair? No, but most things in life aren't.
Good luck to your daughter!
