Many countries still practice male only conscription, included so-called "gender equal" countries such as Austria and Finland

If I remember correctly, it's been exposed already that the "gender equality index" only measures discrimination against women. Funny enough to the contrary of western belief, the index also rates China as a pretty equal country by their standards despite the common belief that its anti-women due to the baby restrictions.

Gender Equal means "Equality only when it benefits women"

Funny how in my country women have been forced into it just a couple of years now. And national news show how unfair it is for them. Cause men in my country have had all the issues they list since 1953, and they news wont mentioning it.

And since the time of vikings men in out country have been drafted without choice.

I believe that women being forced into duty may lead to consription being abolished. Hopefully for both genders.

Finland actually had a vote to scrap it and surprise surprise most women voted to keep it and most men voted against it but it was kept, if men shouldn’t have an opinion on abortion than women should not be allowed an opinion on men being forced to die in war

We just need to convince men that it is not 'their' war but the politicians that want war...

Few years ago there was a huge shitstorm when a high rank male officer was asked what does he think about women in military. It went more or less like this:

- there are plenty of positions women can take, like nurse/ doctor, communnication operators and so on

-but what about regular soldiers, operating in field?

- it's a bad idea

- this is discrimination!

- women are not physically fit. If i get injured on the battlefield i want my soldiers to carry me out, women can't do that

Oh the shitstorm in press was huge and as far as i remember, this officer had huge problems.

‘Gender equal’ is a fancy term for there are either more or an equal amount of women in government

Japanese Empire annexed Korea in 1910. They didn't give Koreans voting rights. However, they decided to conscript Korean men in 1945 (they lost the war a few months later, so this decision was pointless), and they gave voting rights to Korean men (since the Japanese Imperial government considered them "real citizens" from that point). Men should be given exclusive voting rights if only men are to be drafted.

Strang and indapandant wahmen avoiding conscription is male privilege.

Starmind0 · 2021-10-14T12:52:33+00:00

Men getting drafted against their will, treated like sub humans, and dying in wars? Who cares! We only whine when a woman can't vote...can you imagine the INHUMANITY of that..?!

America, land of the supposedly free, still does technically does this too. Requiring all males to register for the draft means only men can be conscripted.

Finland Prime Minister declared feminist even says: We should keep the conscription mandatory for men, to keep our country strong (so easy to say when youre not drafted), and to fight for equity (yes she said that this will strenghen the equity im not joking)

And that we should fight with the inequality in the military by making women (voluntary of course) have an easier way of getting into it.

Good that mandatory conscription is okay.

Additionaly they even have another form of slavery: Nearly one year of working for free because yes.

Of course they won't make women do that free job. Idk why forcing men for this work is okay, but forcing women isnt okay and no one should that. Sadly no one cares about men so much that the can be forced for working for free in the middle of Europe.

Of course by feminist

I'm a conservative, and I honestly think women are not suited to be soldiers (physically and mentally). However, traditional men had exclusive voting rights since they were drafted. If men have exclusive voting rights, I can agree with the male only draft.

thepmanfrommars · 2021-10-14T02:22:59+00:00

it should be conscription for all or no conscription. forcing people to serve in a military if they don't want to generally doesn't develop a good soldier anyways.

Mike19K · 2021-10-15T06:28:50+00:00

I'm Finnish and the worst part about this is that if you are a man and you refuse to perform both military and civil service, you will be put to a prison for 173 days without parole.

Ah, my homeland Ukraine, a country which talks about canceling a conscription for over 13 years now, but have done 0 progress in that

DarkLaplander · 2021-10-23T16:31:24+00:00

I support the conscription system, but I think it should apply also to women.
