(H) 518-534 Miller, Women in the Military

The Military has become a place in where people of all backgrounds can enlist to fight for their country, however it has come to be a place in where people are being discriminated. Gender discrimination has become an issue in determining ranks and effectiveness in the workforce especially among women. Women have come to face inequality in their military jobs whether it stem from harassment, threats, or sexual discrimination. The male audience in the military look at women as inferior to them through their inability to complete certain tasks simply because of their gender. The work of a woman in the military will rank from being positioned into a less combative and more of a stationed job because of the view that they are incapable of completing the same labor tasks as the males appointed to the jobs. Men often try to set back the accomplishments of females in sabotaging their efforts and assuming the credit for a job well done. Not only do males undermine the work of women, but they also find it easy to threaten them from further accomplishing more for themselves. They begin to hinder the work of the women on the force to make themselves seem bigger and more powerful.

Not only do men continue to attempt to undermine the effort women put into their tasks but they also find it easy to complain of the positions given to them. Women are often given lenience on their workforce jobs like perhaps getting positioned into a stationed and non-combative job for many factors. However, the main factor will always be the initial discrimination given to them from the start before they step foot into an enlisting agency. Women are discriminated for their gender way before they are placed into their task force because of the innate discrimination among the officials and their beliefs that women are naturally inferior than men and cannot complete the same tasks as them. Men also come to complain about the allowance of staying home when a woman gives birth. Of course they simply over look the healing time and process in which a woman has to break her own body to bring to life another human. The male influence in the military has only made it more difficult for women to prove themselves. Women have always had to work harder to simply prove themselves in the slightest in the eyes of men.
