Sophistry About Women on Submarines
Friday, August 28, 2009
Stars & Stripes newspaper posted today a letter to the editor from CMR President Elaine Donnelly in response to a report it ran on July 22, titled "Breaking into the underwater boys' club-Sailor one of 12 women to be submarine-qualified." Those quoted in the article seemed unaware of the unique hazards to females and their fellow sailors were women to crew submarines.

Unfortunately, Stars & Stripes did not include hyperlinks to references supporting Donnelly's statements in the letter, as she had originally submitted it. You can find those at the end of the article posted on CMR's SITREP blog, titled "Sophistry About Submarines," as well as a more detailed response to the omissions and alarming attitudes reflected in the July 22 Stars & Stripes report.
