I would hope this is true regardless of gender. An unqualified man would be just as little help to your husband in that situation. That's my big thing with all this- there are tons of men who are unqualified for these front line positions as well. If you meet the standards (whatever they may be, that's a whole 'nother thing) and have the drive, then you should be allowed to perform the job.
Thinking about this still puts a smile on my face, it's so exciting! Girl power snaps all around.
