Men aren't going to be subjected to discrimination in entrepreneurial endeavors due to their gender by being excluded from consideration for this job ... cause they don't know nearly as much as women do about law enforcement and security training!

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is looking exclusively for an “economically disadvantaged woman owned small business” when it awards its next $30 million contract for security training.
The agency announced a solicitation for a company to conduct training for its Inter-Modal Security and Training Exercise Program (I-Step) last week.

Contracting offices are required to set quotas for hiring EDWOSBs by the Small Business Act, which was enacted in January. According to the law, women are “subjected to discrimination in entrepreneurial endeavors due to their gender” and it is “in the national interest” to “remove discriminatory barriers.”
The act sets government-wide goals that at least 23 percent of all contracts must be awarded to businesses owned by service-disabled veterans, “socially and economically disadvantaged individuals,” and women.

....I’m sure they will find another college buddy of Chewie
Well, there’s always Nancy Pelosi. She’s ‘economically retarded’, so she qualifies for this contract.
“An economically disadvantaged woman is one who earns less than $350,000 a year, with a net worth not greater than $750,000.”
I just love that part. That’s probably 99.8 % of american females.
Most of these types of contracts are let to insider cronies who have a front-partner that fits the requirements. They create a company with this woman as an owner (i.e., 0ver 50%) and they do nothing but front the business and collect.
“The act sets government-wide goals that at least 23 percent of all contracts must be awarded to businesses owned by service-disabled veterans, “socially and economically disadvantaged individuals,” and women.”
Whew. For a mimute there I thought experience and competency would be required.

Whew. For a minute there I thought experience and competency would be required.
well they wont be “economically disadvantaged” after they get fed $30 million taxpayer dollars, will they?
Sounds like the grantor already has an obama crony in mind for this one
btw, what does the jargon “economically disadvantaged” mean?
Black? Brown? Yellow? No Ivy league degrees?
That screams of racisim to me. Hypocrites!
Let’s see Blind, Muslim, African-American, Handicapped Lesbian.
I think that should cover all the bases.
It means crony of the Obamas.
And it means black as well.
Yesterday there was a thread where the affirmative action crowd was trying to get white women excluded from affirmative action programs.
Not surprising, but if put into action and widely publicized, could create fatal electoral backlash. A lot of white women love Obama and have been taken in by the "war on women." If it was seen to be a war on white women, they might think differently.
