 Senator Josh Hawley opposed the provision, calling it insane, stating that women shouldn't be forced to serve if they don't want to, and criticized Democrats for using the military for social experiments.

I know it's politically incorrect to say that there's a difference between men and women, but I'll go bold and confirm, yes, there is.
