GI Jane, a film by Ridley Scott, tells the story of Jordan O'Neill, a female lieutenant, handpicked to be the test subject of a new service fully integrated into the genre. on the Navy Seals Cross Reconnaissance Team. O'Neill is given the mission but is not expected to succeed. Historically, more than 60% of men drop out of training due to its inhumane and exhausting regimen. Previously, O'Neill had attempted to enlist in wartime military service, but was refused due to the "lack of women's toilets on board the submarine". The sexist experience she went through inspired her to accept Navy Seal recruitment and commit to completing it, regardless of the rigorous training it entailed. O'Neill saw this as a chance to change the Navy's discriminatory policies toward serving women. She was driven to prove everyone wrong and become a female Navy Seal. The senator who chooses O'Neill as a test case ensures that before O'Neill is selected as the top candidate, she meets certain criteria. She must be a heterosexual woman; we can see that even within the female gender, sexual preference separates what should be considered a true woman. In addition to ensuring that the candidate for the new cross-recognition team is not a lesbian, the senator also ensures that O'Neil displays the typical female physique to give a stronger female representation. As O'Neill arrives at the Seals training facility she is immediately rejected by the other male trainees and ridiculed because of her gender. The other male interns try to make her resign by telling her that she is only there to serve as a promotional tool for politicians. O'Neill is also given special treatment to help meet her "special needs" as a ...... middle of paper ...... and to have her removed from the training program of Navy Seals. To his surprise, the same person who got him this job was also responsible for his downfall, Senator. After confronting the senator with her findings, O'Neill questions the senator about his reasons for removing her from the panel. The senator responds confidently: “No one wants to see a woman die in combat.” O'Neill is then led to raise the question of why a man's life is less valuable than a woman's. From here we see how O'Neill challenges the double standards argument on gender inequality. GI Jane challenges the discriminatory military policies that exist and examines the presence of male dominance and the consequences when disrupted by the opposite sex. The film well depicts the injustice that women face when trying to fight for gender equality..
