How mandatory military conscription favors men and is not at all a disadvantage !

tmattm · 2021-10-06T19:27:23+00:00

If military service is so great for men, why don’t masses of women join the army voluntarily?

Rubberrobbb · 2021-10-06T20:20:26+00:00

And then you die. What an advantage!

Tell this myth to the millions of men and forced by law or shame on to battlefields with little or no training to die in agony.

if it's so good why don't they want to make it mandatory for women too?

Conscription is morally wrong, no one should ever be forced to kill another human being. A person shouldn't have to risk their life for their government. Even in cases where the war is defending their country from an attack, no one should be conscripted. If a war is truly justified, people will voluntarily sign up.

I just want to be treated as an equal. Not looking for either sex to have an advantage on anything.

OP, where did you hear this out of curiosity?

I recall this.

Conscription is, essentially, slavery. Men are forced to risk their lives at the whim of the government/their owner, and they do not get a choice in the matter. It is the antithesis of freedom. Attempting to rephrase it as an advantage makes you no better than an 18th century slave-owner arguing that slavery is an advantage to 'the negro'.

All of those features apply equally to men and women. Teams, meeting people, traveling, P, learning. Women should formally be forced to contribute at the time of war to be truly equal citizens morally. Only 10% of military ever see action.

The only thing conscription is "good" for is providing warm bodies to fill full of shrapnel.

If your cause can't garner enough support on its merits, perhaps you need to reconsider it.

I like how it toughens up the nations population of men. It's funny how nations without conscription is full of "pretty boys" who sit in pyjamas sipping starbucks while complaining how "Wahmen aren't respected enough in the boxing industry", while countries with conscription have some of the most tough, ball busters on earth.

That depends on condition of army and state of affairs at a time of question. Also, what country is discussed.

There are, for instance USA army and Israel army. Two different systems. Two different situations. Two different outcomes.

I would say, that adequate advanced army cariere is an option, because it gives you skills and benefits. Especially, if we talk about a country that is not at war with somebody, than risks are pretty low.

If it is either imperialistic megalomaniac state, or some shithole with abuse, sadism and army prostitution like another megalomaniac imperialistic post-commie state, than ot is not worth it.

Personally I have no problems with army as a path in life. My grandfather was military officer, so as my grand grand father. If my life circumstances be not as they were when I was younger, I may were well have been military chemical defence specialist myself by now.

And about the points. I will not argue with them, or defend them, but point that in mostly men army you are existing in almost only male society. Wich, in western female-dominated education system and number of single mom households, may be kind of an antidote for overty feminized society background.

So, I, personally, would like to see an army as a "Word's biggest Men Club". Though, I have no problems with girls listing in on their own will, if they are able to pass training and normatives. There won't be too much of em anyway.

This sounds like a comedy skit where they take obviously bad things and try to put a positive spin on it.

You should be happy to be domestically abused because it gives you incentive to learn self defense.

You should be happy to be paid less because it'll teach you how to live within a tight budget.

You should be happy to be falsely imprisoned as it'll give you a vacation from work.

Women would also receive these benefits!

I don't know where this idea that men can't work as a team comes from. Look at a wall, any wall. Each brick precision laid by hand by a man working as a team with other men. The world's full of these walls

They are ignoring the forced-labor aspect of conscription. You have to be very biased to ignore that.

It would only be a great experience, if it wasn’t mandatory
