Yep exactly

A parliamentary committee including all parties proposes that military call-ups be extended to women who would face sanctions for not showing up. Conscription would remain mandatory only for men, however.

The Feminist Association Unioni described the proposition as a move in the right direction as long as it does not entail militarisation of women.

Feminism for equality again.

The Finnish National Youth Council Allianssi also supports the reform. “National defence is also an equality issue. The current system is discriminatory since it targets only one gender,” the Chair of Allianssi, Elisa Gebhard told YLE in an interview.

Probably means "how dare you give free medical check up and military opportunity to men only ? All this just because they are forced into conscription and to die for women ?
