Gender Roles and The Military
Right so I am seriously considering joining the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force), I talked to Mum and she's really supportive of the idea, so I was looking at officer positions avalible, I was looking at Intelligence Officer (may as well use my ability to withhold vast amounts of details...).
There are some that aren't available to women however, such as Ground Control Officer (those who care Air Force base while they are under times of threat, etc, etc). This coincides with something that I heard lately, that they don't allow women on the front lines.
I'm of that if a woman is able-bodied, signs up to the military/army, she should be put on the front lines, same as any man. Equality works both ways you want this position, this level, they should not be babied.
This might be sensitive, but I interested in opinions.
