Article here. Excerpt:

'CHATTANOOGA - A new veterans clinic for women only is opening in Nashville and officials say it is one of the most comprehensive Veterans Affairs women's care clinics in the country.

Mary Ann Woodward-Smith, who oversees women's care for the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System, said the clinic opening Wednesday is a sign that the VA is expanding services to women, who have been underserved in the male-dominated military.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported the clinic on Charlotte Avenue is separate from the main VA hospital campus and is staffed entirely by women.'

If a man applied for a job, would this female only Vets Hospital hire him???????????

In case anyone was wondering, there are ZERO men's only Vets hospitals even though male soldiers make up the vast majority of injuries and deaths.

Its simple. Women are now getting better health care in the civilian and military sectors.

Thats just great - special treatment for the minority of those in need, no special treatment for the majority of those in need. Feminist altruism lives.
