I also don't think it's feminist to encourage them, and that's what we're doing. We say "Get into Stem to advance women." and that's good. "Get into leadership roles to advance women" and that's also good. "Get into the front lines of combat to advance women" is not good. I honestly don't see the difference between "Go out their and die" and "Get back in the kitchen".

That is an aggressively stupid thing to say, to be honest.

Is it really any better to say "Go out there and die" to men though? If someone has to go out and die, why not have it be equal opportunities for it.

No-one is saying "Go out there and die" to men. Men don't need to prove they're worthy of going out their and dying like so many people are pushing women into.

No one is pushing women into it. Military recruitment - and police, firefighters, other dangerous professions, etc as well - is still VASTLY skewed towards men. Saying "hey...we didn't really ever mention this before, but like, maybe you women can do this too, or something? I guess?" =/= "pushing them into it."

Wow, you're an idiot.

I mean it's bad in the same way that it's bad to shower men with propaganda to Be A May-un!!!!! by joining the military to go kill terrorists when we really don't need any more war shit than is absolutely necessary. But not any worse than that.

The difference between the two is that one concerns forcing women into a traditional, subservient role, and the other concerns allowing women equal opportunity to do something that many of them want to do, as well as overcoming the notion that women are inherently too weak, fragile, and emotional to perform certain tasks.

You may not agree with women being in certain jobs, but as long as they exist, we should have the right to choose to do them.

Women die in wars anyway. And the way wars are fought now isn't as simple as sending people to the front lines. It's like dismissing them from the risks they're already taking.
