The great illusion: Women in the military

Contrary to common wisdom, the influx of women into the military of the advanced countries that has taken place since 1970 does not represent a victory for the feminist movement. Instead, it is part symptom, part cause, of the decline of those militaries that has been going on for many years. As of today, the militaries that have taken on any number of women scarcely any longer fight wars; whereas those that still do fight wars have very few, if any, women.
