I'm sure it's highly context-dependent. I've just never viewed the "equal access to exploitation" school of gender equality as quite the social victory others seem to.

To frame it another way - we've historically sent men to war partly because their relative disposability is understood. The strength to swing a sword and the strength to bear a child are not necessarily fungible.

I remain conflicted on the issue.

I would reckon that for a volunteer force, it's on the individual's perception of valid goals. Of course not withholding anyone coerced into the volunteer force.
