Onet journalist: Women in the military are top performers but face ingrained paternalism

Edyta Żemła, an Onet journalist specialising in military affairs, describes the everyday experiences of women in the Polish army. She highlights deeply ingrained paternalism among male soldiers — during physical fitness exams, men would sometimes run over and boost women to help them complete exercises. At the same time, she notes that women in the military are often outstanding performers who are gradually changing the army's organisational culture.
