@Nathan James 123 I whole heartedly understand your argument here. Which is why i do believe that it is not just that women be given an easier way into the military when they are not just as suited for it (as a whole).

There's also the arguments which Joshu has made as to why they shouldn't be in front-line service and to an extent any kind of military service.

@Mavalance Also from what you said to Nathan you are looking at this from a purely mechanical point of view. Even a woman who is for the sake of argument identical to the average male recruit physically still wouldn't be as well suited since they don't have the psychology for it. Women are more prone to sympathy and caring as well as being more susceptible to psychological trauma.

Dont forget the logistics

There's also the argument of unit cohesion, which we haven't even touched

So many reasons

It's honestly the strongest arguement

A woman joining an eviroment dramatically changes that dynamic

It;s the arguement that for the most part isnt counterable with "But not all women"

Front-line relationships undermine combat effectiveness and risk lives

Front-line pregnancies reduce combat effectiveness and costs lives

You're also going to have different equipment requirements

Which is a logistics thing again

Women *mostly* won't be able to physically carry all the weight required

To an extent @Joshu

Women do in fact need different plate carriers

They have tits

Seriously

Which then means, either they go in with less, which cuts effectiness OR requires someone else in the section to carry that equipment

Which fatigues them.

Male plate carriers are really really unsuitable for a women's figure

From the point of view of them being in front-line, then yes, it does seem safe to bring them out of that area entirely. This is because it would just not be worth the investment. But, and i cannot say this enough, there are other departments for women to go into to where they can be of use. Support roles being one (even if it isn't in the military itself, but helping them)

Plus it's a lot of money to get all those custom pink rifles 😃

Like ive said

Women in non front line is absolutely fine

For the most part there is no real difference

If they're deployed into an enviroment where supplies could become an issue, then no.

The 'homefront' is where women should serve.

That's it.

For example, a drone pilot at an RAF base really doesnt affect the supply lines

Artillery are so far back it also doesnt matter

for example

Not to mention the post war recovery, if you have lost 50% of your male population then no big deal, you can bounce back in a generation or two. If you lose 50% of your female population though you are up shits creak.

Cooks

Armourers

We're already up shits creak @4SidedTriangle

Engineers

Etc

All fine

All roles which can require front-line service

Artillary also.
