sexual harassment issues, bring nontraditional expertise (which women have developed because of some of their role exclusion) at a time that’s increasingly critical, and send the signal that the military is not only open to women, but puts not barriers in their way.” Fixing the issues and allowing the women to have higher positions will need adjustments not only for the military but also for the world.
McGregor reported Women in Combat are an issue that would strike people in positive and negative. In order to report on an issue that is crucial to so many people’s lives, there has to be support with evidence. In each point built, she allows the readers to understand her position. With an issue such sexual harassment and women’s roles in combat, strong facts and quotes were introduced in the report to support her claim. Direct quotes from Representatives and Senates supported the claimed she had made.
The new legislation for women in combat is effecting for them to advance.
With the legislation it is creating arguments and lawsuits for not allowing the women to advance in combat. “If women remain restricted to combat service and combat service support specialties, we will not see a woman as Commandant of the Marine Corps, or CENTCOM commander, or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” writes Greg Jacob, policy director for the Service Women’s Action Network. Women that have the talent to experience the Frontline will not be able to happen because of the restrictions. Gender roles are a problem in social relations. Women are affected with life opportunities by the cause of women being a woman.
Women with combat roles will cause issues with in the military and out. Mcgregor said, “Yes, putting women in combat roles beyond those that have been recently formalized would require many adjustments, both logistical and psychological, for the military and for its male troops” Men having to adjust for women to be in combat by logistical and psychological help is an eye opener for how crucial it is to change gender roles.
Ultimately, this issue has an effect on many people for so long in a positive and negative way that it could be hard to persuade people who think what is happening to women in combat is unfair. Therefore, with the claims and support she made with her main points, McGregor could change people’s opinion on Women in Combat. Women in Combat by McGregor will hopefully persuade people in a way that allow them to help them change the
issues.
