In 2016 India announced that women will be allowed to occupy combat roles in all sections of its army, navy and air force, indicating a radical move to gender parity in one of the world's most-male dominated professions. Proponents argue that it will help the military retain more women, who tend to leave the services permanently when they have children. Opponents argue that allowing women to serve in these roles would limit the military's ability to fight in combat situations.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
Ideology:
Yes, if they are fit and qualified
@8RGWM9JBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Give 100% reservation for women
@8QN2GY34yrs4Y
Yes given they qualify the standard set for women along with proper protection against any kind of violence or assault.
@8QJCPP8Independent4yrs4Y
Yes, add other genders too
@8QH2936Independent4yrs4Y
Choice should be made optional and some tough tests according to the condition of females can be intiated
@8PT634JBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Well it is kind of complicated since women have different bodily functions, they might go through menstrual cramps while being in a war, decreasing their abilities to engage. I agree to all the points included with the 'no' option but I still want women to serve in military, maybe not in the combat roles though?
@8PRY98L4yrs4Y
Women have to pass a certain threshold for physical test but not similar to men Inclusion of women have to compulsory
@8PQBGBZBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Yes as long as they can qualify with same or higher scores than men or cuttoff atleast
@8P3NR5SIndependent4yrs4Y
Yes, if the women will to.
@8NQLNYCBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Depends on How strong they are
@8D3DVJYBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
she must be asked about her desire to join the combat... What if she's on period then what about hygiene?
No, everyone should be discouraged from military combat
@9CPQYKH1yr1Y
No, all genders should be discouraged from joining military and engaging in militarization of society
@8R8J37B4yrs4Y
Yes, but pregnant women should not serve in nuclear submarines.
@8NWRNM8Bharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
As long as they are strong Enough

Yes as long as they’re not married.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, men and women should have equal opportunities regardless of their gender identity
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men because preventing women from serving in combat roles is discriminatory
@8R2V4494yrs4Y
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
@6Y7R42C4yrs4Y
No because that just means the American Empire will have more soldiers
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Yes, preventing women from serving in combat roles is discriminatory, but they should still have to meet the same requirements, and should not be drafted into combat roles. They should also be offered free birth control to prevent problems from rape by enemies.
@528HJMS4yrs4Y
No unless they can pass the same physical tests as men
@6Y9S3783yrs3Y
Yes, but slowly abolish the military altogether
@7FSXLL74yrs4Y
No, we should be defunding and scaling back the military, starting with combat roles.
@76N7YH94yrs4Y
No one should serve in the military and it needs to be abolished
@75KRFBJ4yrs4Y
Yes, serving should be determined by performance and not gender
@78S5M874yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men
@842VWLK3yrs3Y
yes, it is a women's choice to serve, and not only would it increase our defense capabilities, but it would also add more humans to our countries work force. and women know the risks of joining the army, including possible rape.
@8D77Z963yrs3Y
The decision should be left to the military. War should not be a social experiment.
@8HB749H4yrs4Y
yes as long as they pass the same physical test that have not been eased to make them easier for women
@8J4H94B4yrs4Y
I honestly could care lee
@LangworthyUS9th4yrs4Y
I dont think women who are supposed to be nurturing compassionate mothers should have to carry the mental scars of war
@8LG9WPJ4yrs4Y
Yes as it is voluntary and not turn into a draft situation. If they can pass the exact same tests that the men go through. If you are able to enter combat and are willing to put your life out there to protect others, then it should be allowed. But only if the requirements are met. There are some women that can run circles around most men.
@BiiiigOlTitties4yrs4Y
As long as the battalions are segregated. Men are more likely to jeopardize the mission to protect women, and women by and large can't pass the same physical tests as men, further compromising safety if a situation were to arise where this would be important.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, women should be completely banned from the military
@92ZN97M3yrs3Y
Yes, only if hey. want to. since women do not have the same physical structures as men
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, women should not be allowed to serve in the military at all
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, and also allow non-binary individuals to serve in combat roles
@8YX4JT93yrs3Y
Any soldier deserves a chance to fight.
@9334YP33yrs3Y
Yes, but on a purely voluntary basis, only so long as they unmarried and childless, as long as they meet the same standards as men, and never in a commanding or leadership role.
@8RSRZ2H4yrs4Y
Yes, women are just as capable as men are
@Maxx485038004yrs4Y
No, but they should receive the same combat training should they ever need it
@8SFZFZC4yrs4Y
Yes, only if they chose to.
@8SDR3QB4yrs4Y
yes, women are as good as men
@8TMFV7P3yrs3Y
Yes, if they can pass the same physical tests as men, and the tests should be made tuffer
@rightandbased3yrs3Y
No, women are caregivers and nurterers and it is the obligation of men to protect them.
@8YKY9N43yrs3Y
yes but they should work more to protect women from sexual assault and harassment
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, and non-binary individuals should be allowed to serve in combat roles as well
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, let male soldiers cheat on their spouses and/or bang other men.
@923Z93G3yrs3Y
No, but allow women to serve in non-combat roles such as logistics and communication.
