When the Glass Ceiling Gets Reinforced

This episode pulls back the curtain on a hard truth:

Between 2022 and early 2025, women at the very top of U.S. military leadership were removed at a rate several times higher than their male counterparts — erasing decades of progress in just months.

We break down the findings from the independent white paper Gender Disparities in U.S. Military Leadership Removals, 2022–2025, look at the numbers in the full report, and share why this matters to every American — not just women in uniform.

I also draw a parallel to my own experience in the VA, where DEI wasn’t used to ensure fairness — it was twisted to protect insiders, leaving me targeted, humiliated, and silenced.
