GI Jane
Women Discrimination in the Military;
GI Jane style
Women have been as housekeepers and stay at home moms throughout time. Feminist groups during the 1920’s till now have been fighting for their equal rights that men have just been handed. It has been almost 100 years since that time and we have made great leaps as a society to achieve many of these accomplishment. Women over the years have branched out to many jobs that brought them astonishing opportunities in life. There are women that want is to be a part of the military life. When a woman enlists into the military she is taking the oath to honor and follow the code, but when a woman is given a much higher rank in the military she is looked at as someone who can’t lead and who also doesn't have the respect from all men and also the men in her unit. The movie GI Jane, made in 1997 embodies the discrimination women face in the military. It tells about one woman’s journey going through the Navy Seals boot camp where there is a 60% dropout rate. What she does is remarkable because she changes the way of how women can be perceived in combat, and even though she is a fictional character she played a role that inspired many women to and wanted to be like her. It started a new era for women already apart of the military and women joining to military to exceed all expectations.
The stereotype put upon women in the military that they are weaker and not able to handle anything in combat. The movie demonstrate that even if a woman makes it in the seals she will not be respected. More than two-thirds of jobs in the military are off limits to any women and they have no way to break through theses boundaries. Lt. Jordan O'Neil is the candidate chosen for the opportunity to receive training at the Navy Seals boot camp. After being told that this is just a test run she contimplates and if she makes it she will change the military for women in many ways. For a woman it’s almost impossible to get into combat positions
