The “women worked the factories” trope is hilarious, they could barely keep factories alive with female staff and the Rosie the riveter campaign was started specifically to keep female employee retention
The woman who modeled for the famous We Can Do It! poster quit her job 2 or 3 weeks in because she was afraid she'd hurt her fingers which would prevent her from playing the viola. We Can Do It!
Nothing has done more to prove the inequality of men and women than letting women in the military. You will never see a woman do anything useful with her uniform on.
My biological dad has all sorts of stories from his time in the military about the women in.
Three I remember him talking about are
Women receiving mysterious stork visits right before their ship was supposed to set sail
The military fucking with what pistols they were using because women were too weak to pull the triggers of the ones they already had;
Women being a liability on deck and men having to do their work because otherwise you'd risk people getting killed (think pulling chains and the like).
Plus the endemic obesity among military women, even when I was enlisted in the late 80's early 90's. So many female soldiers had what I (generously) refer to as "the office spread".
They couldn't do PT. Marksmanship was abysmal. And it never got better. Only worse.
A friend of mine said there was a girl in his basic training that couldn't handle the shotgun and would literally get knocked on her ass when firing it. The solution was to have someone brace her when firing so she could qualify.
The image of a man having to stand behind and physically brace a woman so she can ‘qualify’ for something perfectly encapsulates the irony of clown world and the strong independent wahmans that perpetuate it.
Is it true the Army lowered standards generally to accommodate women?
Now the Army is enlisting fat-asses and recruiting troons and fags directly because you don't need to be fit to operate drones. You only need to be ideologically malleable so you won't have a twinge of conscience pushing the buttons to bomb civilians.
No, their value was ironically proven over in Iraq and Afghanistan. Local cultures made it so ony women could screen women among other things. So there's that for not further antagonizing local nationals.
That's just to say useful things were done. Not that they're a net positive.
Much talked up by regime media, not so much in practice. It was far more effective to simply isolate all the women together and drop a bubble gum mic with them. The effort of dragging females along on mission is never worth it.
Eavesdropping is very different from getting biometrics (fingerprints, retinal scans, and photos could be easily done at popup checkpoints), address, age, etc.
that could've been done by female civilian contractors, there's no need to have females signed up for the military for years just to chat with the local trash bags
That's where you use women from the general theater to act as screeners. Your allies basically. I realize that is a bit blurry in Afghanistan, but that's a problem of the war in general.

And iirc the woman in the Rosie the Riveter poster quit her factory job for something much easier later on lol
She never had a factory job. The chick was a model and Rockwell drawing was of some 19 year old telephone operator whom he enlarged for the picture.
It was all fake, always fake, and acknowledged as propaganda.

“Well, Not Me, But You Can Do It” wasn’t as catchy.

I think the Army just established separate, lower standards for women. The generic lowering of standards is different.

Still not worth the extra problems women bring.
bubble gum mic?

Hajis liked to kidnap the all-female units, very profitable for prisoner exchanges, more so than for captured male soldiers.

Women don't have any rights? Good.
WACs exist.
