 Can women be in the Secret Service? Yes. There are lots of other jobs that don't involve protecting the most threatened man in the history of our country. If you had grabbed any random guy from the crowd and given them these agents' guns without any prep, they would have done a better job. Men and women are different. They contribute to society equally, but differently. And you just know that some badass Green Beret or Navy SEAL was passed up for the job. This, this is why there is a gender pay gap.
