You are lying now.
Here is an actual example of taking opportunities away from women. Pete Hegseth has now targeted Admiral Lisa Franchetti for removal previously saying the only reason she was appointed was because she is a woman (despite being promoted during the Trump administration). Of course, Pete was lying- as he's done most of his adult life. She is also a breast cancer survivor. This is her resume of the person Pete says only got to her position because "she's a woman."
She received her commission in 1985 after graduating Northwestern's Navy ROTC program. She then got her master's degree at the Naval War College.

Franchetti oversaw the first-ever use of Tomahawk missiles launched by a Virginia-class submarine. The missiles were fired from USS John Warner at targets in Syria.
During the Trump Administration, Franchetti was nominated and appointed as deputy chief of naval operations for Warfighting development (OPNAV N7)
In April 2022, Franchetti was nominated for promotion to admiral and appointment as Vice Chief of Naval Operations. The Senate confirmed her promotion in May 2022.
On August 14, 2023, Franchetti became Chief of Naval Operations, the first woman to ever hold the position. The Senate confirmed her by a vote of 95-1.
