Women on the front line
If you had the choice as a
woman would you go to fight on the front line?
Women
and men have never been equal, and never will be. Whether it’s about women
getting less pay than men or whether it be that men have to pay more money for
petrol than women.
Many
women argue that jobs like being a mechanic can be done by both men and women
but when it comes to jobs like the army and being on the front line do you
think women would go on the front line or is the saying really true- women are
expected to stay at home and look after their kids while the men go and fight
in action out in Afghanistan or go to work.
Although
fighting on the front line is a man’s job, if a women fought on the front line
would it be different? Would the men be more aware and more protective or would
they really be equal and be expected to carry on the job as if there wasn’t a
woman on board?
Is
it different for women who have a family? I believe that a women needs to be
their for their daughters as their easier to talk to about girls problems. Even
though dads can do that stuff too it just seems easier to be able to talk to
your mum about boys and other problems rather than your dad. With this being
the case if women were allowed to go on the front line. Would they? Or would
they rather look after their family and be considered a house wife than go and
fight out in action when their daughter might need them.
Those
men who go in the army are aware that they’re there to fight for their country,
women would also be aware but it’s more dangerous for them.
Women
argue that in the army they can only do 67% of the jobs that men can do. In
theory they can do most things in the army except be an infantry soldier and
fight on the front line.
Men
and women will never be equal but what do you think about the issue of women
not being able to fight on the front line?
The
choice is yours!
