I've got no objection to woman equality... just Catharine.
It does feel like that (she opts Scarlet, Scarlet don't care, she wants woman in the military while she is a woman in the military so shouldn't woman already be in? (still don't get that one))
I think it's just the way she's writen, her hostility, her crazy suggestions. And yes, I did vote no for one thing I would definitely voted yes for just cause the spite her line was so much better than to cave in.
I suppose it's just a clear-case cut of someone shooting themselves in their own foot, getting their ideas rejected just cause of the way they present them and themselves while otherwise they would have been accepted (if the council brought them up for example)...
