Women in Combat

Women in Combat

In an very interesting article on http://www.rejectedprincesses.com/women-in-combat it is explained about the numerous women who stood out in history in combat ‘On a regular basis, readers will write in saying their family, friends, or colleagues are convinced women aren’t fit for combat…. women have been doing this for literally all of recorded history. In the same article see the list of women in combat roles going back to 1500 BCE. If someone starts on a “women can’t be in the military” rant, print this list out and start hitting them with it until they stop moving.’

Wikipedia indicates, and may I add, with excellent references, about women in combat and the Military. See more on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_military.

Despite various roles in the armies of past societies, the role of women in the military, particularly in combat, is controversial and it is only recently that women have begun to be given a more prominent role in contemporary armed forces. As increasing numbers of countries begin to expand the role of women in their militaries, the debate continues.

A 2008 study by Jennifer M. Silva, a sociologist of culture and inequality (her goal is to investigate the relationship between systems of inequality), found that the female cadets saw military training as an “opportunity to be strong, assertive and skilful”.

Bella is the first woman that enrolled at Milites Dei Academy and after asking her how she finds her studies she explained that she is very chilled with the guys here but she contribute that to the fact that she only has brothers and a lot of male friends. She also say that the guys at Milites Dei Academy is very respectful towards her and that they do not discriminate against her at all.

Below, a few photos of Bella in action at Milites Dei Academy.
