Target: Military/Government
Region: United Kingdom
Background (Preamble):
Everyone was born equal but there has always been a gender split. Sexism just like racism should be abolished, but this has to start with the Government taking significant action.
Women are currently unable to join Royal Marines (General Service), Household Cavalry, Royal Armoured Corps, Infantry or the RAF Regiment. If women can carry the same load, do the same work and pass the same tests then what is wrong with them serving with men?
