    The document argues that women should not serve in the army for several reasons: 1) Nature has made women physically weaker than men, so allowing women to serve would require lowering training standards for all, reducing the army's fighting capability. 2) The physical exercises required in the army are often too strenuous for women and can seriously damage their health, particularly their reproductive systems. 3) Having small numbers of women integrated into overwhelmingly male units can psychologically awkward and increase the chances of sexual harassment, negatively impacting discipline. Serving in the army is a masculine occupation and should remain that way to maintain the highest standards of training and combat effectiveness.

    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.
