How women are set up to fail -by other women

The last Government was headed by a rather woke immature woman -Jacinda Adern

Apart from having pet projects like LGT..something, banning plastic bags, closing down the oil/gas industry, etc, another fetish was the promotion of women in the military, because they were women..

The problem with this is that they end up been promoted for the wrong reasons, and perhaps they weren’t ready for that promotion.

It meant that idealogy came before competance.

Four in particular were promoted to commanding naval vessels.

In 18 months; one was fired from command of the HMNZS Canterbury, one ran the HMNZS Te Kaha into a wharf and Stuffed it up, and one has sunk the HMNZS Manawanui.

The report into the latest incident found human error to be the cause.

Rear Admiral Golding said..

“The crew did not realize Manawanui remained in autopilot and, as a consequence, mistakenly believed its failure to respond to direction changes was the result of a thruster control failure.

“Having mistakenly assessed a thruster control failure, standard procedures should have prompted ship’s crew to check that the ship was under manual control rather than in autopilot. This check did not occur. Remaining in autopilot resulted in the ship maintaining a course toward land, until grounding and eventually stranding.”

Even if it’s not directly Commander Yvonne Gray’s fault, she is arguably responsible for ensuring the ships crew are capable, efficient and proffessional in carrying out their duties.

There is something very wrong with the culture within the New Zealand Navy if it allows this level of incompetence.

One thought on “How women are set up to fail -by other women

  1. I remember the sinking of the Manawanui, as it made the news here in the USA. It seems that promoting a woman to command a ship, simply due to her gender rather than due to any readiness, caught the ultimate blame. I believe such promotions do no favors to women, as it paints them in a bad light.
