his answer is true at scale, but doesn't account for nuances or smaller
armies". example: when i went on WW2 tour, i learned the "night witches" were an all-female soviet bomber and sniping regiment that the nazi's feared.
war has always been gendered and coded as male with females positioned as caregivers and supporters — and most women aren't interested in combat roles. that being said, they do have interest in non-combat military roles.
women may not be as physically strong, but they're typically better at impulse control, situational awareness, etc.; % of women growing in surgery (precision), intelligence analysis, etc.
emerging defense tech increases pool of non-combat military roles. if war can be fought with autonomous and AI-powered systems and remote combat, it changes who is best positioned to excel at it.
will be interesting to see if there is a shift, but also need to be mindful of employees at defense tech vs. actual enlisted military members. 3 replies
