The willingness to be killed for a country does not come natural for a man or a woman, yet more men are willing to make the sacrifice by associating masculinity and aggressiveness unconsciously to who they are. This idea is one possible reason why females are restricted from some jobs and are far less incorporated with militaries. Another potential reason for the lack of women within militaries is by objectifying them, leading to possible sexual assaults. Two examples are from WWII using comfort women and more recently the tailhook scandal.
The United States military is sexually equal in terms of promotion rates and pay, though factors that lead to rewarding masculinity within the military create inequality between men and women.
