Someone needs to remain and hold up the home front.

But we are still associating women with the ‘Home ‘ are we.

Women have equal status in the forces and otherwise so the women won’t just be kept safe at home. Neither would women in the forces want that as they are as courageous as their male counterparts. Or don’t you agree?

So you think the women in WW2 sat at home waiting for their husbands?!?!
The reason it became acceptable for women to go out and work after WW2 is because during WW2 they were expected to be part of the war effort. The built guns, made bullets, nursed the sick and dying and a whole lot more and for the first time in history, women got a taste for work and refused to go back to being the 'woman at home'.

Of course women are in the army and would partake and of course women would enlist but under the threat of war on our soil, its the men would be enlisted for front line service.

I know people will say we will all just be evaporated but that wasn't true in the Middle East. There are plenty more wars to be had around the world before we eventually blow ourselves up.

That will eventually change like everything else. There is no reason that women of a certain age who do not have children, or LGBTs come to that, can’t be enlisted in times of war. Some may not like the idea of that but that is part and parcel of equality. No pick and mix when it suits.

I am fully aware of what women did and didn’t do in WW2 thank you - mainly what they were allowed to do. Times have changed and many women would expect to be much more involved. Anything else would be sexism.
