I see it as something that is well-intentioned but misguided.
I think the trouble with positive gender essentialisms is that people don't question them enough. If you were to go around saying that all women are something or other, and if it's a very negative quality, you would have a lot of people obviously challenge you, but often we need to also challenge affirmative gender essentialisms.
I don't think we're doing that enough. One of the other things I think about is that a part of military training is breaking down the idea of the individual identity in favour of a group or collective identity. That's true regardless of gender if you're in the military, so why do we assume that women will somehow be able to maintain some kind of individuality that will enable them to challenge the group or the collective when military training is designed to break down the individual in favour of the collective?
It's just something that doesn't add up.
