Little nudge regarding the map. The map can't show when there's equality AND compulsory military service (except if you conclude that women's conscription would be unequal per se). For example, if Germany would treat women equal AND reintroduce the compulsory military service for all genders, how would you show it on the map? Green, light green? Both? --HubertSchuf (talk) 20:42, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Although Army regulations bar women from infantry assignments, some females are detailed to accompany male infantry units to handle searches of Iraqi women." Anyone got a source on that? Shardok (talk) 05:05, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redundancy: Turkey is both in Asia and Pacific and Europe sections. It looks like double maintenance is needed (and currently the text diverges a bit). Isn't it better to have a link (or remove one of the instances). 217.75.131.200 (talk) 08:51, 31 January 2011 (UTC) Petio Petev[reply]

The map (made in 2016) derived from the CIA World Factbook is a little misleading. Though I understand that it has already been flagged for update, there is a chance for misinformation on the behalf of less diligent readers. As an example, here is an extract from the 'France Section': Today women can serve in every position in the French military, including submarines[45] and combat infantry.[46] make up around 15% of all service personnel in the combined branches of the French military. They are 11% of the Army forces, 16% for the Navy, 28% of the Air Force and 58% of the Medical Corps. This is the highest proportion of female personnel in Europe.[47] This conflates with the map which flags France as a country which allows women in the military but treats them unequally. I believe there needs to be some form of clarification either on the behalf of the France section, explaining how or where the unequal treatment occurs, or an update to the map. --FaberMyths99 (talk) 12:27, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

D-Day? Are you sure?

[edit]

The article on the Women's Army Corps says that "WACs landed on Normandy Beach just a few weeks after the initial invasion." This article claims that they landed there on D-Day. This would seem to be contrary to the policy that existed until 1994 that women would be excluded from combat situations. Is this article wrong? 168.9.120.8 (talk) 12:26, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First all female US Navy combat flight crew

[edit]

link 1

link 2

On Jan. 25, 2012, the US Navy had its first all female combat crew on an E-2. I don't know how notable an event has to be to get mentioned here, so I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone missed it. Dismas|(talk) 01:39, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Section seems to be an "as is" duplication from either http://www.photius.com/countries/south_africa/national_security/south_africa_national_security_women_in_the_militar~2503.html or, at least, from the same source that THAT article has plagiarised. Will make a note to return in due course, and attempt a rewrite to make the section conform to guidelines.41.160.168.182 (talk) 22:48, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The map

[edit]

Does anyone know how to alter the map? Sweden has conscription for women too. Multiplexxxxx (talk) 19:57, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All of the entries on the map with no data have also had data supplied. Ohwilleke (talk) 19:04, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Women in the military by country

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Women in the military by country's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto1":

  • From Israel Defense Forces: Israel is world's largest exporter of drones, study finds Haaretz, Gili Cohen Published: 19 May 2013
  • From Women in the military: Persson, Alma; Sundevall, Fia (2019-03-22). "Conscripting women: gender, soldiering, and military service in Sweden 1965–2018". Women's History Review. 28 (7): 1039–1056. doi:10.1080/09612025.2019.1596542. ISSN 0961-2025.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:44, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
