A girl breaks down in tears as she is promoted to sergeant: "God gave me an honorable job!"
The society we live in is changing radically; in some respects many things are definitely getting worse, for others decisive steps are being made towards equal rights between men and women and towards women's emancipation. If we think about it carefully, decades ago many women could not have entered work environments traditionally dominated by men, but today (and fortunately, we would add) things are changing. For the better.
