So, because the story started out sexist that's how it has to stay?

Even Pakistan has had a woman as PM, yet for so many in the US a woman president is unthinkable.

Holy crap, she could not look more badass. I think I just found my avatar (finally!)

Look at her being so nonchalantly badass. Good luck to her!

That is awesome. Ghazala's promotion isn't just about a woman being promoted in a typically masculine field. Gender equality in the security field also tends to correlate with more peace and stability in a community.

Very interesting. I wish that Jezebel would post more stories on the advances made by women all around the world instead of focusing primarily on America.

I know the look on her face. It says. I am a professional and if you fuck with me or insinuate I am incapable of the job I will disembowel you and show you what the term intestinal fortitude really means. I love that look.

Congrats! It has to fit. I've been to a bunch of weddings and it's pretty obvious when one party or the other didn't get "their way" on the wedding. My hippy friends had a bbq at a nice cabin at a state park with tons of cheap beer and liquor with their good friend being the non-religious pastor. Everyone was a part…

SQUEEEE I just got "engaged"! Well, we have decided to elope during our trip to the Amazon jungle next year. Small jungle ceremony. Multi day camping extravaganza for the friends and family when we get back. No wedding!! I'm so happy it's all worked out where I don't have to have one. Am I the only one who is put off…

I am a floral designer for a high end shop and while I am in shock when people give me their budgets (mid 5 figures and higher) but then I can do things like go on a decent vacation with my family and pay for electricity and our apartment. Anyways, I, like you, don't bite the hand that feeds me.

It's all about communication. I hate to sound like a hippy-dippy type, but it really is. How is their non-verbal and verbal communication? How do they talk to each other? It's not about politeness (although that is a factor). Usually you can tell by the bride's behaviour. It comes to the front in a wedding. There are…

Great, now you can afford a big-ass wedding! Congrats!

I have been a wedding officiant since '05 and the wedding craze is ridiculous. I marry so many people who would rather get married than be married. It has actually made me a darker person. I come home from most weddings and tell my husband how long the couple will be together and I am pretty accurate. My last spot on…

I don't understand giant, extravagant weddings, but I am a practical person. However, I am a baker and crazy wedding cakes (and redonkulous 1st birthday cakes) are kind of what pay my bills so...

I think if you're going to splurge on one thing that photos (or photo/video) is the place to do it. Those are the things that will last beyond that day.

I wasn't aware they'd gone out of style long enough to be coming back with a vengence. Seems like there's an article on Jezebel every other week about the insane cost of weddings.

No, it's going to become a post where everyone comments about how down-to-earth their weddings were.

Yeah! No need to wedding shame. The theme of my wedding is "Big Asses" and the colors will be blush and bashful.

I don't think I will ever understand how otherwise incredibly progressive people manage to block off in their brains the fact that the way they talk about Roma people is very racist.

Personally, I think you should have the wedding you want no matter what the size of your ass.
