Should women be allowed into combat? The role of women is more defined in our society curently. Actually, women take part in many fields in this life that they did not allowed to get in before such as: voiting, running for presidence, join in the government staffs or army as well. Women in combat is one of the most hottest topics to day. There are some arguments that being combat is just only for male and women should be banned from military jobs.
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.
Nilufar Mohammad Professor brunkala English 302 11 January 2015 response one Part 1 Military Women in Combat: Why making it Official Matters.” McGregor was inspired to write this piece because many people are under the misconception that women and men are treated as equals and some may even argue that women have it easier than men. The purpose of this piece was to challenge those assumptions and make more people will be aware that women are not treated better than men nor are they treated From the article i learn that there are men and women working towards lifting the restrictions. McGregor informs us that “female soldiers began formally moving into jobs in previously all male battalions a result of rule changes following a February report that opened some 14,000 new positions to women
No, women now have gone above and beyond. They are nothing less or nothing more than what a man is. Because of the women suffrage committee women are able to achieve many things such as having a job, they can take part in political events, and they can achieve their life-long dreams. To begin with, women have been able to experience the hard work and labor that a man complains of having to go through every-day. Many women have made a huge impact because of the jobs they have had.
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
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
Women have always been thought of as the weaker sex and Sociologists such as Heidensohn argue that men see the need to protect women. Police are more likely to caution a woman for shop lifting than they are a man. Flood-Page et al found that one in eleven female offenders had been cautioned and prosecuted in comparison to one in seven males. Women are also less likely to be prosecuted for an offence and found guilty of offences by juries. This is because women (especially when they have children) are seen first and foremost in the expressive role (mothering and caring).
This is proven by countless mission debriefs and daily observations that women Marines are ready to do the same jobs as their male counterparts. Females Marines bring a tremendous amount of positive influence to the table. One of the largest gender differences with women and men is physical strength. From my fifteen years of experience, female Marines make up for these physical shortcomings by their strong mental prowess. Male Marines generally accept their female counterparts as equals and as fellow Marines.
Women do not have mentally tough enough to survive and physically strong enough that is 2 reasons to convince the reader that the author offers. However, although the author give some credibly example to show women get high-stress but it just happened some women. Almost women can work in high stress environment better than men. Darren Gaves give two of three argument is right but overall supporting the last argument are overgenalised and lack
I believe it would be harder to show a greater negative affect than a positive effect in this matter. In conclusion I believe that the glass ceiling is “a transparent barrier that kept women from rising above a level in the military. It applies to women as a group who are kept from advancing higher because they are women” (Glass Ceiling, The Military). Men and women are equal and must be treated as such. Women have proven themselves competent and qualified for tasks and jobs in the military even under stressful and dangerous conditions.
