Question Answered step-by-step The US ended its “don’t ask don’t tell” policy in 2011, thereby… The US ended its “don’t ask don’t tell” policy in 2011, thereby enabling LGBTQI people to serve openly in the armed forces. The US also lifted its ban on women in front-line combat in 2013. Several other countries (including Canada) have had women and LGBTQI personnel serving in the armed forces and in front-line combat for much longer. These changes seem like positive developments for gender equality. Why do feminists urge us to be cautious about celebrating the growing participation of women and sexual minorities in the armed forces and in militarized peacekeeping missions around the world?  Social Science Sociology WS 222 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
