I think that the fact that there are women in the front lines is another struggle that women have been fighting for. We know there has always been stereotypes and maybe the majority of women are more into careers than do not involve military, or heavy physical and emotional duties like in the war, but we are under the constitution consider equal. I think all those women in the front lines deserve to be promoted. It is very sad that even though we are in a more open-minded time, women still being denied from jobs that are consider just for men. Lynsey Addario reminded me of Kathryn Bigelow’s film Zero Dark Thirty, where a CIA officer woman was one of the main people in finding Osama BinLaden. However, she wasn’t promoted for the marvelous job she has done. This CIA officer spent most of her career finding BinLaden. I think being on war zone is dangerous and of course by nature women and men are different, but that does not mean, a women should be denied from what she wishes to be. As long as she shows determination, courage, self-discipline and professionalism, that is what matters. I feel proud of Addario’s work because, it is not easy to be under attacks of sexism and also to carry a story for not only herself but the world to see.
