开头段3+1，转述题目+主旨句

Gender inequality was a highly controversial issue in the twentieth century. Today, five years into the new millennium, even in the most progressive countries there are still numerous arenas restricted to males only and the military is one of them. Some assert that this situation must be altered and women should be enabled to join the armed forces. Personally, I wholeheartedly support their view.

In the second place, female patriots should be granted the right to go to the front line when their motherland is embroiled in a war. （论证主题句3句） Gone are the days when women are considered to be second-rate citizens and today they are entitled to learn and to teach, to work and to supervise, to vote and to get voted. There is really no sense in denying them the right to stand up for their home country when war breaks out. Whether the government grants ladies the right to serve in the military demonstrates whether it interprets equal rights in a modern, enlightened sense.

Granted, physically women are on average not as strong as men. Nevertheless, it is an indisputable fact that most of them are endowed with the mental ability and

the psychological soundness to operate the highly-automated arms that do not really require big biceps.

结尾段2句

In sum, keeping military services out of bounds of women in the information era is unwarranted. And I am convinced that the enlisted lady will face equally well as her male counterpart in combat and otherwise.
