Many people claim that ​women should not be given the opportunity to participate in certain combat roles such as, fighting on the front line or becoming a navy seal. They say this believing that women don't have the ability to do the same physical workouts as a man and would not be able to handle those roles. Some believe that allowing women to have the opportuniy to do this would lead to lowering the standards of the physical requirements. People also claim that women would just be a distraction to the men and would mess up the cohesion of the "team". This would then cause either sexual relationships, that would become distracting to the soldiers, or would cause for an increase in sexual harrasment claims.
