* ''[[Antz]]'' does this with, well, ants, both in worker and soldier roles. It's one step better than the [[Insect Gender Bender]], at least. |

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' The Fire Nation's armies have men and women fight alongside each other, and even their [[Fridge Horror|prisons]] are [[Prison Rape|unisex]]. [[Equal Opportunity Evil|Despite being the primary antagonists,]] they are unique in this respect. The Earth Kingdom army has few if any women (nothing is specifically stated, but none of the shots of their armies seem to involve women fighting). And the Northern Water Tribe explicitly forbids women from fighting, much to Katara's annoyance. |

** [[Fridge Brilliance|Though this could go rather far in explaining why the Fire Nation has been successful in their war.]] While healing is certainly a vital military role (which is what female waterbenders are relegated to in the NWT), not every female waterbender has healing powers. Those that don't are forbidden from being useful in a fight at all. Maybe the Fire Nation is winning because they are better able to use more of its population in a direct combat capacity due to simple pragmatism. |
