UK: Diversity drive to recruit more women threatens to humiliate Britain's military and sideline male candidates, Shadow Defence Secretary warns

I think it would be a good idea to ban men from joining the army. Women should be granted the privilege to play war without being victims to the male gaze. Men should have to stay at home and finally contribute their fair share of emotional labor. It’s time men finally give up male spaces.

More women on the frontlines!!!!

It's time they contribute!

Well, if they spent the time dealing with real issues instead of defending against shadows, wouldn’t be an issue.

The number of people I see on here saying women should serve in the military far outweighs the ones who believe they shouldn’t.

So, I’m not sure why encouraging women to join is a bad thing?

Isn’t a huge driving point of this group to say women should serve in the military just as well as men?

The UK government dumb as bricks.

All of this is just theatrical.

When shit becomes real, it's only men they want because they know the truth that men and women aren't equal in ability.

Case in point Ukraine only conscripting men. And if you think the UK would be any different then just look at Germany that very recently passed a military law that is paving the way for conscription.

Currently only involving 'voluntary' service, the questionnaire sent out in Germany is compulsory for men, but voluntary for women! That doesn't sound like equality to me...

With how world politics are playing out, I'm not exactly complaining (I still disapprove but shhh)

Women should be 100% of all drafted soldiers in all western nations for at least the next 100 years to equitably balance the historical oppression of men via conscription.

What is a shadow defence secretary? Sounds like some head of a paranormal response organization that I'd make up for an urban fantasy ttrpg, lol.
