I live in the US, and for a while was in Canada. The discussion happened at a university, and was simply about the military. It wasn't participated in by the military itself. The point was more that it's a little abhorrent for a conversation like that to be considered acceptable by the same society that seems to believe women have achieved equality. Try talking a professor into having a conversation about whether or not African Americans, or Jews, are capable of serving equally and meeting the same requirements as everybody else in the military. It would be considered such obvious discrimination that most people wouldn't touch it, for legal reasons if nothing else. Yet the same conversation is had about women regularly, and plenty of people still believe it's a legitimate debate.
