First, many women want to serve their country and fight for it, rather than serve in behind the scenes functions. Second, because women do not serve in active combat roles in many areas of the armed forces, they do not face the threat of a draft, and many people feel that is unfair. More importantly, women in the military face several challenges their male counterparts do not face, such as pregnancy, menstruation, sexual harassment, the need to leave children at home for long periods of time, and gender issues. These issues can create emotional and physical barriers to a woman's performance, and they are perhaps the most contentious problems with women in the military. In recent months, I have had a chance to catch up with one of my neighbors who has just returned from her tour of Iraq.
Through media now Soldiers in Combat arms units will likely receive females differently because of how it has been portrayed, due to how they are supposed to respond instead of how they really feel. From the time it hit the web all stories or articles involving this issue have had high visibility. What most readers don’t realize is the actual reason for these policy changes or the underlying economic interests like gaining the political recognition from certain types of voters. In this case the policy makers most likely have came to the conclusion that the gender neutral standards will cause a large percentage of females be separated from the military, though it appears they are supporting women rights. Thus gaining support from women

For several years there has been much debate about the role of women in combat, with some calling for more diversity by allowing women into the combat arms field; and recently, the Pentagon unveiled plans to allow women to serve in military jobs closer to the
Jordan Wolf Lutze ENGL 110 23 September 2013 “Women, Military Service, and Gender Equality” The subject of women being allowed in the military has been debated for quite a while in the United States. Many people have very strong opinions about the capability of women to do certain jobs in the military, as well as the effects of women on the work place dynamics. In the beginning of America, in the time of the revolutionary war, it was common for a woman to disguise herself as a man in order to join the military efforts. This came to an end when the army began conducting thorough examinations to ensure that t only healthy males were enlisting. However, as time goes on, military positions have become more and more accessible to women in the United States.

Before we begin any further, if you are expecting this speech to be something revolutionary I suggest you to leave. But if you are one of those courageous people who are brave enough to face the facts, then I will help you. I will help to take off the intangible blind folds that have hindered you from seeing the truth. And I will guarantee, you will regain those so obvious yet oblivious subconscious memories to realise that “female soldiers should be banned from serving in front line combat.” I have seen these expressions so many times from such a crowd that stand before me today. That exacerbating expression when I even mention the notion of female soldiers being prevented from bloodshed?
This is an extremely sensitive subject for the current female athletes and female sport fans. There is a famous saying that I have heard which states, “Sports are played by men and therefore viewed by men.” An article from Sports Digest goes into detail about the adversity women battle with and has faced in the sports world. The first major step taken in the right direction was the implementation of Title IX in 1972. This allowed the same equal participation opportunities for women. Since some women don’t play certain sports such as ice hockey, wrestling, football, boxing, rugby, etc it gives women an opportunity to participate in other different sports.
ABSTRACT WOMEN IN THE MILITARY: RECLAIMING THE LOST IMAGE Often times the military has been conceived by many as a monstrous body of humans driven by a fierce and ferocious masculine force. More so, probably among other factors, the apparent less female patronage and appearance as a result of internalized pseudo knowledge amongst the civil community by virtue of history and certain cultural traditions. Yet though the military has attempted several civil-military programs to redeem it seemingly lost image, the status quo still prevails, to say the least. The military has many times been remembered that its ‘‘wild’’ training disciplines are just good for the barracks. No wonder Professor Adu Boahen described the period of military rule (1972-1987) and the military as ‘‘the era of silence’’ by ‘‘the men on horseback’’1.
Military organizations in general are often viewed as a “man’s job” by many because of the stereotypic male characteristics of combat positions such as aggression, courage, and strength. When women began being integrated into roles that were male-dominate many women experienced being treated differently because they were female. Women reported being treated differently in terms of being put in positions where they felt that they were at a disadvantage within the training and employment environment. The women also reported that their male counterparts would have in appropriate conversations with sexual content while in the presence of women co-workers. Although women reported these things in this study, it was also found that
