An interesting aside - in some crucial fields in this day and age, women are closer to 50%. Intelligence, for example, is becoming that way. Cue plenty of insightful jokes about men and intelligence. :)
Also, just a few short months ago, General Ann Dunwoody was given her 4th star - never before has a woman held that rank. She's a Deputy Chief of Staff in the Army now, and was a member of the 82nd Airborne.
/Hooah!
