U.S. Air Force Public Affairs

[DrTigerGoob]

A former female USAF pilot posted on LinkedIn about her situation she experienced.

There was an article on the USAF website highlighting her flyover of a women’s soccer match. That article is now removed.

She asked USAF Public Affairs why and this was their response:

“Public Affairs informed me they were ordered "to erase every article, photo, social media post, etc. that features a specific gender or race as reward, breakthrough, or other DEI lines of effort." Unfortunately, in our industry, women are a minority (15% of career engineers and 9% of aviators, according to a US survey). Since it is somewhat unusual, almost any article that was about a female also highlighted the fact that they were a female, making it susceptible to being removed.”

Please defend this action.

Ironic that we start off that it was a "female" pilot. Why does that matter unless that is an important part of her becoming qualified as a pilot?

The military is going to take a while to deprogram itself and write neutral articles don't make a persons skin color or gender a central focus of the article, ad, whatever.

Sister needs to relax and take a midol while this sorts itself out.

Posts like this are exactly why DEI is a thing. It's extremely disrespectful of Women to suggest that she take a midol, which insinuates that women are mad/grieved due to their menses. It's sexist and ridiculous and makes you look like a dumbass.

There should be one standard in the Air Force. Either you can do the job or you can't.

If you are a man and you meet the standard, great. If you are a woman and you meet the standard, great.

If you do not meet the standard, no matter what sex you are, you will not be in that role.

It's called meritocracy.

DEI is about pretending. So its no wonder they want us to pretend that women are not ornery around that time of the month. I would presume almost all women would admit to this.

DEI is fantasy land.

DEI - Pretend like these candidates are as good as the others.

Hey hero, I only said that she needed to take a midol because of the fact that we're emphasizing the fact that she is female. Must be a very strong characteristic since we're leading off with that. So why wouldn't i suggest that she take one?

I'm recognizing her femaleness and being understading. See how this all works?

Honestly man, this is shockingly stupid.

Absolutely. I agree. Thats why its good that we're getting away from promoting things by emphasizing gender or race or whatever. Its just going to take a bit while the status quo gets adjusted. "the military" is a big organization and when things are coming from the top down sometimes the brush is too broad and it takes some revising or lower level organizations need to add their own policies to take care of real-world situations/confusion.

This stupidity has gone way too far

Pentagon to remove 'Enola Gay' WWII aircraft photos for violating DEI rules

An anonymous source said the purge could delete 100,000 images in total, when considering social media pages are also being culled for DEI content.

Without juvenile gifs and calling people dumb, you'd have nothing to contribute.

If a dumbass has a low opinion of me, I am confident I am on the right track.

If you could define what a dumbass does, your contributions would fit that description the best.

A dumbass is someone who thinks an off-topic discussion board is a charity where people need to contribute in a meaningful way while he himself is the most despised "contributor".
