In times of emergency, Suidwes-Afrika has contingency plans to recruit physically and racially acceptable women into the military reserves, paramilitary security units, or territorial police.

However, we have never been quite desperate enough to rely on female soldiers. In the same way that women are not permitted to become high-ranking government officials, members of parliament, or join most branches of the civil service, they are not permitted into the military.

Men have been recently barred from entering the military,and all male personnel currently in the armed forces have been honorably discharged.This is because of the dwindling male population within our nation,something we need to stop,so eliminating males from all dangerous work places was paramount.

When you're a rag-tag bunch, out-manned and out-gunned, you can't afford to be picky about the gender of the person laying down suppressing fire for you.

The Witches of Karlsland would like to have a word with you.

Even the all-male Moro Legion (the only unit closed to women) would want to join the discussion.
This is yet another puppet of Central and Eastern Visayas, created primarily to simulate a part of RL Philippines run by the Bangsamoro people. Expect some Islamist tendencies.

The Justorican military, though dominantly male, is open to females wishing to serve in all branches, so separate uniform required.

Of course, women serve the year of compulsory military service and are drafted alongside the men in times of war.

Not only are they allowed, but they are also required to serve in the military. Women are given the option to choose if they want to serve in combat units or not. Very rare is it that they choose to go to combat units, even more so is it that they actually are assigned to one. Women that do serve in combat units are very highly respected.

However, the vast majority of individuals are fuckin idiots, and if certain restraints are not metered down by more responsible members of society, the society quickly degrades into a hedonistic and psychotic cluster fuck."

Of course women are allowed in the military now if the question is combat units not so much. If absolutly nesscary the women are trained for such a situtation as if the nation is being invaded.

The vbingvani have never discriminated against either gender. This includes in their military. Certain units are male-only, but just as many are female-only. The majority, however, are mixed units.

As for the human population, currently both male and female humans are allowed to serve, in mixed or segregated units. Certain humans have brought up concerns about female humans being allowed to fight, so this may change if there is strong opposition to it.

Women CAN serve, but hardly ever DO serve. Those who do are in separate units.

of course,
they are separated in training, on the field though they are integrated, all superior officers are required however to report if they are having a personal relationship with one of their subordinates in which case the subordinate is transferred, we do this to prevent fraternization and to keep the chain of command efficient.

Sure. We're meritocratic with the military, competence is not based on gender. There's none of that separation crap either; work, live, and exist as part of a unit.

Yes, but it's still a debated issue. Women will find it a lot harder to enter and thrive in the military due to probable discrimination and bullying.

Indeed as would any upstanding man or woman in the Republics!

Do the depravities of barbarians know no bounds? Women only being allowed to work in whorehouses and factories? Does this nation have no service sector? No place for women to earn incomes without degrading themselves or working so roughly?
