(a) Your question was not general. You qualified it in your second sentence in a way that makes your question specific to this case (i.e. women in Tzahal). I can answer your question in a general fashion (see ), but you will find it will not address the question you have in your mind.
(b) Equality does not infringe on anyone’s rights. The expression of the equality (reverse affirmative action, etc.) may infringe. That does not, however, mean that equality does not “have a stand.”
