Glass Door

In Pensacola, what do they call a woman who was the selection committee's top-ranked choice in a national search for city Fire Chief and --
  • is a 20-year veteran female fire fighter from Gainsville
  • who
  • has a bachelor's degree from the University of West Florida, and
  • earned a master's degree in health administration from the University of Florida, and
  • was one of eight senior fire officials nationwide awarded a fellowship to attend a Harvard University program for state and local government executives in 2004, and
  • was a medical corpsman in the U.S. Army Reserves in charge of a combat support hospital emergency room, and
  • is District Chief of Gainsville Rescue, and
  • who was a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force Reserves coordinating warfare defense training for more than 400 personnel?
They call her "girl."

It's a sad world, when you've done your best to contribute your fair share in society, and yet not be respected for it. I also find it disappointing that women in some countries are expected, sometimes even forced, to take a nurse job abroad or become domestic helpers, when they're obviously capable of so much more, while men have first dibs on more prestigious jobs such as doctor, lawyer, or senator.
