Groups that make it a big point to emphasize when a woman or minority achieves something great are hurting not helping. It's almost like saying the accomplishment is greater, because look, even a woman was able to do it! Just stop thinking of people by their genders or races, accept that we're all people, and move on with your life. Celebrate that humans have great achievements, not women vs men, or black vs white...

I second that sentiment. And I'll also add- your wife's a helicopter pilot? That's hot. I like that. Not that it matters. :)
