ITs true women have acheived skies but still they are some domains like Army, Navy and Airforce where women still are considered as weaker sex. In Private sectors many women are ruling the roost and people dont mind being under them. But these Govt. sectors specially armed forces they are many who come from conservative areas where women still are nothing but mere sex symbols and child producing machine so for them being ruled under woman is something that hurts their ego. Either a high ranking woman official is ostracised by her juniors who simply dont want to co-operate with her or she is sexually and mentally abused by her immediate peers who simply treat her as an object of fun. For the past 5 years we have found that maximum high ranking female officers have commited suicide not males. Why?

Don't jump to conclusions without knowing the facts of the case. How did you assume it is gender bias? Just because it's a woman?? Don't men in the army commit suicide?

go by the records. There is a big % difference, in the forces, between sucide rates of male vs female officers.There is indeed a gender bias in Army forcing young female officers to commit sucide. An enqiry needs to be conducted. Shame that tis happnes in ARMY.
