Task answer
Some people believe that women should be permitted to join the army, the navy, and the air force equally to men. In my opinion, with all due respect to equality, women shouldn't be allowed to do so, and other issues are more vital.
Women lack the mental and physical capabilities that men have to be able to withstand such army positions. The army is known for its tough environment, and the required tasks put a huge toll on the human body that even some males fail to adhere to such high standards. Furthermore, such positions require high strength, to which the female human body, even with its maximum training, will still reach lower levels in comparison to men. For example, some studies have shown that 3 months of aggressive training in women yielded 50% less strength and muscle development than in men. In addition to that, emotionally, the highest percentage of women fail to withstand long durations away from family and loved ones, with many studies showing negative emotional responses in women than in men during stressful events.
On the other hand, a good number of people believe in the necessity of women's attendance in the army sectors. Those argue the need for equality between different sexes. Furthermore, they believe a woman's choice to enlist is a basic human right, and preventing them from such a choice violates it. Although equality is an important issue, the focus should be on more important topics. For example, focus on allowing equal pay and voting rights, especially in underdeveloped or extremely religious communities. Such matters are more significant with more advantages to women than enrollment in the army divisions.
In conclusion, some studies have shown that women lack the required physical and mental strength to withstand such a rigorous career. Equality, therefore, should be employed in other crucial issues, including equal pay and equal voting rights, especially in developing countries.
