(And if you're worried that your women will "look like men", [a common concern for SOME men] take a look at some female bodybuilders: Beautiful women!) | |
| Feb 26, 2023 at 19:59 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Could you reverse that into a more useful Question, such as 'how might a mixed-gender military be at a disadvantage to an all-male one?' Didn't Israel introduce un- or bi-gendered troops in the 1967 war? Then, or since, how do you think females have handicapped any Earthly military, anywhere? If you'd rather go with Hollywood than reality, what can you not accept in, eg, Starship Troopers… a 1997 film based on Robert A. Heinlein's 1959 novel? | |

| Feb 25, 2023 at 10:07 | comment | added | Joachim | Gender equality oughtn't necessarily result in sharing everything 50%/50%, I (want to) believe it's about equal opportunity, not statistical equality. My point being, maybe your fictional culture has different policies surrounding gender equality. | |
| Feb 25, 2023 at 10:06 | comment | added | Aaargh Zombies | @AlexP, I think that's mostly because many of the positions that were traditionally occupied by WRAF and WREN officers have now been automated. You don't need 20 people to plot bomber movements in a sector. It's done by computer. | |

| Feb 24, 2023 at 23:00 | comment | added | GuilleOjeda | Keep in mind that just because you don't discriminate based on sex it doesn't mean you don't discriminate at all. Maybe only the strongest get to be knights, and the lightest fight as light cavalry or scouts. The smartest fight as engineers, regardless of their size or strength. Would that work, or do you explicitly want a 50/50 split across all categories? | |
| Feb 24, 2023 at 22:58 | comment | added | GuilleOjeda | @SkySpiral7 why would that be a problem for mixed sex militaries and not same sex militaries? | |
| Feb 24, 2023 at 22:53 | comment | added | SkySpiral7 | My workplace has a policy against having a romantic relationship with coworkers because personal drama prevents effective work. Your mixed sex military should have the same policy because being mad about something personal while holding a weapon and standing next to the person will quickly become counter-productive. | |

| Feb 24, 2023 at 4:54 | comment | added | AlexP | "There are far more women serving in the military in modern times than there were in the past": Maybe in the USA, I don't know; but I am quite sure that Germany and the UK have far fewer women in uniform in 2023 than they had in 1943. While women can serve in the army, most of them have too many other opportunities in life to even consider volunteering for such a time-consuming, life-threatening, low-pay position. | |
