Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2341
Description[?]:
| The law currently states that women serve alongside men, now here me out with this, I do not wish to remove women from the military, but change it so they serve in segregated units. I say this because women can distract men from the duties and vice-versa. With men and women segregated in the military, there duties in the armed forces can be better fufilled. |

| Message | There are some jobs in the military where women are better than men, and vice versa. By insisting on wholly segregated units we are forcing men to do the jobs wwomen exel at and women to do jobs men exel at. That means we would not have the best people in the best positions and our military would be inefficient. |

| Message | The RPP raise a reasonable point. Does the UDG have a counter before we vote? |

| Message | I will say that the RPP does have a valid point, but to counter all I can say is that with proper training anyone can be as good as another. |
