Why women should serve in the army?

A very good evening to my lovely English lecturer Madame Aida and my fellow course
mates, first of all I would like to thank you all for giving me this opportunity to come and
infront here and give you all a simple yet factful speech regarding Should women serve the
Army..
Today, one can count much less occupations that remain womanised women are constantly
conquering new positions and prove that they are also capable of participating in physically
challenging activities. This refers particularly to war. 50 years ago, an idea that a woman can
serve in the army would seem ridiculous; today it is a reality. However,is it such an
advancement reasonable? Though women have successfully proved that they can doubtfully
be called a weak gender, war is one of those occupations that women should not take part in,
since it results in a series of negative consequences in regard to their health and the state of
the military in which they participate.
Nature has made women physically weaker and less durable than men. No matter how angry
females can get about such statements, a woman, even a trained one in military boot camps,
can hardly match a man in physical strength. Therefore, if women would be allowed to serve
in the army, they would either need to match with the already existing training standards, or
the standards themselves have to be lowered across the board. Officials from the West Point
Academy inform that after women were allowed to serve in the military, men are no longer
required to run carrying heavy weapons, which was considered a norm before (Fire &
Knowledge). And this is not just a single example. As a result, the armys fighting capability
lowers.
Physical exercises that are normal for men are usually too much for women. Womens health
can be damaged by constant physical loads; this especially refers to the reproductive system.
According to recent research from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
excessive exercise can seriously reduce a womens fertility. In addition, it can result in
amenorrhea, problems with menstruation cycles, hormonal balance, and other aspects of
health. It is obvious that compared to the perspective of becoming infertile and having many
specific health issues, the benefits from serving in the army are rather doubtful.
Perhaps, future armies will count as many women as men, but today women represent a
minority in the military. Thus, having one woman placed in a whole squad of men is not rare.
Being surrounded by men is psychologically awkward for women and men as well; besides,
chances of sexual harassment increase dramatically due to this psychological friction, despite
all of the discipline of the military. Women negatively affect discipline in a male
environment, thus reducing the armys combatant value.
Serving in the army today is solely a masculine occupation, and it should remain such further.
Women in the army will decrease its fighting efficiency, since training standards will
inevitably be lowered. Excessive physical exercises can seriously damage womens health.
Also, women in the army are not numerous, therefore they will most likely suffer from sexual
harassment and negatively affect discipline.Lastly, I would like to end my speech by warm
heartedly saying.. Thank you Madame Aida and my dearest friends once again.
