In truth, women also prefer men's protection

For a long time, the IDF Spokesman has been trying to convince the public that integration of female soldiers into the various combat battalions is successful and essential. We were told that the outgoing commander of the outgoing General Staff, Col. H., and his deputy, supported the recruitment of women to the patrol, saying, "The patrol misses the potential."

If we consider the reports from the IDF last year on the "success" of the trial of the integration of women into the armor corps, we find that this is a very problematic potential. Unfortunately, it turns out that the pilot soldier as a tankist was not even partially successful as reported. In fact, all the soldiers who took part in the pilot - The physiological gaps between them and the men increased, and faith-filled soldiers and effort did not really meet the training load. Even there, at the beginning of training, the fighters were required to meet the requirements of the Rifle 07 like the fighters, and now the requirement is that of the Rifle 06 (fewer cartridges in the belt). This happened due to the high number of female soldiers who dropped out during training due to physical injuries. This is a huge rate of stress fracture injuries, pelvic floor fall, uterine prolapse and other body damage. The IDF's solution to discovering this dismal data in 2017 was a dramatic relief in training for everyone, thus lowering operational capability for all fighters.

While the issue of physiological differences between the sexes has been debated quite a bit in the debates on the issue, the time has come to address the gender differences in the issues of courage, the ability to deal with risks, protect the spouse and strive for contact with the enemy on the battlefield. 

A series of studies conducted at the University of Haifa, conducted by Prof. Zeev Weinstock together with a team of researchers - Dr. Bashir-Swan, Dr. Bailey, Ms. Halabi and I - examined the answer to the question, what are the social perceptions of gender differences in these areas among hundreds of participants Membership groups in Israel (Jews, Muslims and Druze). The study found that while men and women were in favor of integrating women into IDF war roles - on a practical question, such as who would enlist to protect you if you felt threatened, the answer was different. Most women reported choosing a male bodyguard and most men claiming they did not need protection at all. Another comparison found that both sexes think men are the ones who need to be brave, take risks and protect women. No one thought the opposite. And to the direct question, who do you think is more suited to military combat roles that require face-to-face physical combat with the enemy, the majority answer that men Actually, most of the answers objected to send women to fight on the battlefield.

response to a question about soldiers fighting formatted gender ideology that aspires to equality between the sexes. answering questions on coping in a pinch, however, reveals the tendency functionality pragmatic, selling physical differences between the sexes. this explains the difference in the responses.

contemporary discourse leads to radical feminism, expressing a desire for equality between men and women totally. but when this discourse encourages young women to try their luck actually in combat roles such as Sayeret Matkal, for example, the result is - physical damage - they do not fulfill their potential Embodied in other significant roles. 

The battlefield gives no assumptions for one sex or the other, and no person can change physiological and social facts. Many IDF champions recognize this fact, but are attacked whenever they voice much concern. The aspiration for women to reach senior positions in the company is undoubtedly a positive target, but not at all costs. IDF commanders must bravely face agenda advancements, stop Danger Soldiers' Health, and Focus on Security and Victory.
