"Unveiling Ongoing Sexism: Women in US Army Special Operations Forces Face Persistent Bias"

A study conducted by the US Army Special Operations Command reveals that women serving in the US Army's elite Special Operations Forces face significant discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexism from their male counterparts. The study found an "overtly sexist sentiment" among male senior non-commissioned officers and company-grade officers, as well as ill-fitting equipment such as body armor. The US Army Special Operations Command has taken steps to address the study's recommendations, including appointing a "Women in ARSOF Initiative" lead and securing additional funding for childcare centers. The study also highlights a divide in how men and women perceive the challenges faced by women in the special operations community.
