Question

"joe believes that females cannot be pilots and opposes the military's use of women in combat. it is his belief that females are not strong enough, emotionally and physically, to perform the duties that are required to fly fighter jets. joe's belief that women are weak is ____."

Answer 1

A STEREOTYPE. Joe is very wrong. I was an aircraft mechanic for six years in the military and have served with some amazing pilots. Some of which were women. I was able to see firsthand during a combat deployment what these women were capable of and it was limitless. As for women in direct combat roles such as infantry platoons. I really can't answer that. I've never undertaken the required task to become an infantry man. I in no way shape or form think there is no woman capable of that job though.
