Articles that focus on responses by “the public” on social media shit me. How many responses are we talking? Millions? If not then who fucking cares and why do we need to validate trolls. You know their response to this article would be delight anyway. These serve no purpose other than to make the victims feel bad along with the majority of normal people that empathise. So some arseholes were arseholes, thanks for the news. This isn’t journalism and isn’t a press release that helps anything.

Collins: Yeah, that's not very typical, l'd like to make that point.

Well, how is it untypical?

Collins: Well there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don't want people thinking that navy ships captained by women aren't safe.

Was this navy ship captained by a woman safe?

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Collins: Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.

Collins: Yeah, the ones that didn’t run aground, catch fire, and sink off the coast of Samoa.

I just looked it up and something like 3% of commercial and military ships on earth are captained by women. It seems a very misogynistic career path, and probably very tough for women to go up in rank

Golding said the HMNZS Manawanui underwent a maintenance period before the deployment.

Ah the ship was on her period /s

That headline confused me, because I thought this was some new, weird misogyny. Just from the headline, it sounds like they were saying a ship crashed but did not sink, and the reason it didn't sink id that the ship's Captain was a woman.

That's what I thought, too. I thought they were accusing her of being a witch or something. It took me a while to figure it out.

Her lady parts incurred the wrath of Poseidon
