Washington D.C. polce chief 2

Just one day after the Washington Post and other mainstream media rushed to extol the history-making, first-ever (fulltime) female police chief in Washington D.C., concerns over the way in which the new mayor-elect chose the woman were raised. Looks like gender-based appointment went too far. Expect soon feminists complaining “if a man was chosen, there wouldn`t have been such concerns. It`s discrimination!!”. Just amazing to see the extent to which, by ignoring all key advisors, this new young mayor-elect would go to bypass all the eligible male candidates for the police chief post and appoint a woman, who were far down the list. As the newsstory noted, Ms. Lanier is likely to be confirmed despite all this media hype, because she is a “woman”. Of course, nobody wants to risk being labeled as “anti-woman”, however such labeling is unfair and not based on facts.
