I have a serious question for which I would like a serious answer.
Please Note: Lectures regarding employment equity, unless they are used lamentably as part of an answer detailing the current sorry state of affairs, or sociological discussions regarding gender roles or ability regardless of sex, will not be read or responded to.
I am considering joining the CAF. I have a University degree. I am reasonably physically fit, entering my late-20s, though I do currently wear prescription glasses for distance vision.
I seek a role in the CAF where my personal safety is not and will not be directly dependent on a woman or on any number of women, and likewise where the personal safety of any woman or women is not and will never be directly dependent upon me in an immediate way. As I understand that so-called "combat roles" are now open to both men and women, in a combat setting, this would mean that no women would be in my "group" or in any nearby combat-ready "groups" that may affect me during operations, nor would they be providing combat support in a direct way such as operating a gunship, drone, or any other manner of device capable of causing bodily harm at the push of a button/buttons.
By "women" I do not mean the modern colloquial "gendered" form of the word, as in an individual of either sex who chooses to wear lipstick, but rather I mean it in the pre-1930, biological, sexual, definition of the word "woman" as has been established since pre-history as a human female.
I do not hold out much hope of a positive response to my question, having generally kept abreast of most of the changes of our military in recent years, however I do welcome any informative responses provided they fit the "requirements" outlined above.
Yours sincerely and Semper Fi,
