[[folder:Gender Roles in the IS world]]
*It's said that due to the IS being only able to be operated by women, the entire order of gender roles has been reversed with women taking dominance over men. The problem is, Cecilia confirms that there are only 467 IS units worldwide and the key to their technology, the core, was never officially released. Now consider the IS academy which is certainly large enough to accept a large number of students from all over the world. Assuming that a fourth of the student body graduates each year, that would leave an excessive ratio of IS pilots to IS units. My question is, assuming that only 467 IS units exist, would that really be enough to place women in a dominant role in society?

*** That and the fact that it's the writer's excuse for surrounding Ichika with lots of women, it's a Harem Anime after all.
*** ...so much wrong with that. I'm just gonna start with: It's not peace and love. It's basically a Cold War. If any country starts using IS suits for combat, everyone else is going to do the same. Note the Black Rabbits, Laura's military IS squad...despite the fact that using them for war is completely illegal. These things are under a decade old, it's just that no one wants to be the first to break the treaty. But when someone does, everyone else will be ready.
*** The use of IS is just like the situation of the JDF (before the change of policy). Using it for war is prohibited but every country can maintain an IS force to deter and defend against armed aggression involving IS. Most IS are national property under the control of the military; the IS champion tournaments are mostly fought between military test pilots. If you read the manga, you will see Rin in military uniform press her superior to let her come to the Academy.

*** Charl was probably already switched to another room, and Laura's probably had military training in stealth so sneaking into his room without any notice shouldn't be very difficult for her.

*** Because Tabane and/or the Alaska treaty said they had to send any potential pilots there, or they don't get an IS, perhaps with the end of middle school as the agreed upon testing period. Many countries begin vocational training at the high school level.
