Denmark Calls for Mandatory Military Service for Women

Imissyourgirlfriend2 · 2023-01-26T16:46:50+00:00

Hey, ladies, I'm sorry you are going to be pressed into service. I really am.

But this is what equality looks like.

rb577511 · 2023-01-26T14:42:29+00:00

A step in the right direction.

Queue: "WE DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS FEMINISM!!!"

Odd_Pollution2770 · 2023-01-26T15:46:50+00:00

Yes!!! This is equality.

TorBanEvader · 2023-01-26T14:02:17+00:00

They will probably get cushiony air-conditioned desk jobs while men DIE, just to be able to claim women serve too and get an upper hand in their political narrative, For ex. israel.

pn1159 · 2023-01-26T17:04:23+00:00

In the usa we need draft registration for women and if there is a draft we need to put women in the infantry so they can fight on the front lines just like men. This is equality.

neighborhoodpainter · 2023-01-27T00:42:17+00:00

Bu...bu....bu.....but men started all the wars so men should fight them.

eldred2 · 2023-01-26T19:23:41+00:00

If we use feminists logic, then shouldn't women be the only ones drafted into the military, to make up for historical discrimination against men?

McFeely_Smackup · 2023-01-26T17:52:20+00:00

men generally are required to serve if they are called on under a lottery system, for a duration of four months for most.

so, Denmark's mandatory conscription is basically a summer job?

pm_me_your_buttbulge · 2023-01-26T23:46:22+00:00

I had a friend who back when 9/11 happened there was talk about a draft and they were quiet about it up until the rumors of drafting women too and then it's "I've always been against the draft" - piss off, no you haven't.

I occasionally reshare the Facebook image of "I'll fight for equality..." and there's snow around with a man shoveling "... tomorrow".

They fall into that category.

GltyUntlPrvnInncnt · 2023-01-26T17:03:07+00:00

Big news from Finland also this week:
Media: starting in 2025, women will also be conscripted...
Me: Yay, finally some equality.
Media:...to encourage more women to take part in VOLUNTARY military service.
Me: Fuck me...

The "Feminists need to experience some of what Men do" bit of me is enthusiastic about this... and the "women can't match men physically and will get themselves and their comrades killed" bit of me thinks it's appalling. Some women can get close to the performance of men... but they really have to try, and that drives up their risk of injury and again, of getting their comrades killed.

IceUnlikely4849 · 2023-01-26T19:25:37+00:00

No sympathy, they want equality they got it

UbiquitousWobbegong · 2023-01-26T20:58:28+00:00

I personally think everyone should have to serve a couple years in a role that serves their community when they become an adult. That doesn't necessarily mean military, but there's no reason why we couldn't have young adults out in healthcare fields working as porters, or something along those lines.

It would give them real world experience and hopefully help create an attachment to the community around them. They would likely value low level workers more as they go on to pursue careers, and they may even stumble upon a career they find interesting during their service.

But I'm just a lowly healthcare provider who sees all the young adults who have no connection to their community, and who think all there is to life is making it big as a famous content maker on the internet. I'm sure I'm wrong, and that keeping up this modern style of social disconnection will somehow resolve, just like chronic understaffing of critical infrastructure.

AaViOnBando · 2023-01-26T22:04:45+00:00

I've always said if they all want equality we should either remove the mandatory military service or make it for all. I live in Greece, a country constantly threatened by its neighbor therefore there is a whole year of military service for men.

Mobile-Aioli-454 · 2023-01-26T23:55:02+00:00

Well that’s about time! They’re the only Scandinavian country left who doesn’t already have it yet

Fantastic_Box3257 · 2023-01-27T04:56:25+00:00

Nice

Codename-18 · 2023-01-27T07:08:01+00:00

It shouldn't be mandatory for anyone. Even in times of war. Me I don't give a fuck about my country or protecting people who don't belon in my lineage.

manneerik · 2023-01-27T08:11:19+00:00

Already have this in Sweden! 🇸🇪

rbrockway · 2023-01-27T13:20:01+00:00

All for it. Definitely yes.

threwawaythedaytoday · 2023-01-27T22:28:22+00:00

Smells like EQUALITY. Wonder when the batshit brigade will come and try to manipulate this as "harming women". And "women shouldnt be forced into military service" when literally men around the world who dont get threatened with prison.

Fightdevil · 2023-01-28T11:32:56+00:00

Thats great, every country should do this.

E_BoyMan · 2023-01-26T16:09:31+00:00

Straight to the mud.

I hope they have the same standards as well.

Good! With equal rights, comes equal responsibility.

Garfish16 · 2023-01-27T03:39:01+00:00

I guess this is a movement towards equality but I would rather we live in a world where we don't force anyone to join the military.

63daddy · 2023-01-26T16:52:58+00:00

Key point from the article:

“…enlists women in its military since 2020, while the conscription is voluntary.”

Imvrasos · 2023-01-26T20:20:52+00:00

I see several posters complaining that Danish service is quite soft so these enlisted women will have it easy anyway. You need to see beyond the sidelines, a country that's often seen as a positive example in Europe is taking a large step towards gender equality. This will create further pressure to other countries where a military service can expose someone to a higher danger than guarding the germanodanish border.

Although to be honest I agree I don't see women taking any combat or frontline roles during our lifetimes.

MezzaCorux · 2023-01-27T02:01:31+00:00

Maybe now women will start advocating to end the draft so people will actually start listening.

Dramatic-Earth-3303 · 2023-01-26T18:24:59+00:00

Yasssssssss

Codename-18 · 2023-01-27T07:17:47+00:00

I think the debate about whether women lie or a simply solipsistic ends here with the war approaching.

Women DO understand Paretian logics very well, when it suits them, then conveniently toss them aside and use social conversations (read manipulation tactics) when it suits them.

Equality is equality, and it comes with rights and responsibilities, get ready for a tsunami of tears and dead hamsters along the way. This is a great step in the right direction. Even though no conscription would be better, I'm taking this second best option even though that means that men will die trying to protect some strangers' asses and women will be cushioned behind some desk or will serve far away from the frontline.

Maxokidd · 2023-01-27T08:53:17+00:00

This isn't men's rights?

ERiC_693 · 2023-01-26T18:19:52+00:00

Equality in the wrong direction imo.

It's like lowering women's life expectancy to match men's. Or lowering college entries of female students to that of male students.

Digger_is_taken · 2023-01-27T17:51:00+00:00

That's the wrong kind of equality. How about bodily autonomy for everyone? If you can't get people to volunteer for your army, your nation state sucks.

Kenhamef · 2023-01-26T18:44:43+00:00

Israel has mandatory military service for everyone, although for women it’s shorter. Due to their small size and population, Israel needs conscription to keep steady and effective defense. You can excuse your way out of it if you have serious medical problems, or you live away, etc, but you’re supposed to “make up for it” with social work. In fact, when you’re in a job interview, it’s usual that they ask you what you did during your military service, and if you say you didn’t serve, even if you had a valid reason, your chances of being hired diminish immensely.

DyingMisfit · 2023-01-26T17:23:59+00:00

Do it for Denmark!?

HendoRules · 2023-01-26T17:53:44+00:00

Is it currently mandatory for men?

lordluke10 · 2023-01-26T17:56:18+00:00

So proud of my country for this. I've had to tell tonnes of people here on Reddit that Denmark is past feminism, and now i got more proof

DarkHHorse · 2023-01-27T11:46:06+00:00

It's all political posturing. There is no country in the world that drafts women into war. The country closest to real female conscription is Israel, and even there, females are only obliged to serve in non-combat duties, like clerks, drivers, welfare workers, nurses, radio operators, etc.

Denmark is not going to conscript women, so this "news" is just virtue posturing.

MembershipWooden6160 · 2023-01-27T15:37:16+00:00

OP and so many commenters are missing the point. I really don't care whether women are or aren't part of the military. It's something they fight for themselves and yes, they have the means and are part of the system itself so they can vote for, or against, making this mandatory or not. Guess what, regardless what they vote, it's your regular guy who's going to bear the brunt if military is ever called into real war against a formidable foe. Not the politicians who decide, or their kids. OR women. So I am really not afraid about women and their choices, especially if/when things get really tough.

So, instead of focusing on "equalizing" something you definitely won't be equal with (especially in case if real war breaks out), your main focus should be on having a choice for yourself and other men. That's what MRM is and should be, having a choice to decide for yourself. Feminism claims to be just that, but it's solely about women and their choices - while offloading it upon society. The best way to offload it back from society upon women is if men are relieved of the burden and if they have a say and a choice regarding issues that they are automatically burdened with. (Obligatory) Military draft is just one of these men's issues. Remember that word. CHOICE.

LegendaryEmu1 · 2023-01-27T22:16:39+00:00

Well that would be equality.

Skrivarin · 2023-02-08T02:53:02+00:00

Probably because the higher ranking males in the danish military want some new fresh meat to sexually assault. Danish men are pervert like that.

2023-02-13T11:02:04+00:00

women should not be in combat roles. i oppose this.

troll_for_hire · 2023-02-25T10:24:29+00:00

This is fake news. The title should be

Voluntary military service for Danish women

The proposal is to allow women to voluntarily sign up for the same kind of military service that is mandatory for men. Source in Danish

candice_opera · 2023-01-26T21:15:51+00:00

Why just don't defund the army?

Difficult_Ad_3234 · 2023-01-27T05:14:07+00:00

If it's good for the goose it's good for the gander guaranteed!♂️✈️

UnconventionalXY · 2023-01-27T11:56:34+00:00

Just being mandatory for both is a step in the right direction for equality: if women are so against it afterwards, then its already been accepted that discrimination is unacceptable and so whatever women win, so too must men as the precedent has already been set.

Doesn't matter if women get less dangerous positions because if they are opposed to mandatory service they will find a way around it anyway like getting pregnant which is not open to men.

I think men have to accept that women will always be protected one way or another, but it doesn't stop men choosing to contribute the bare minimum to society that treats them as disposable. A tissue is not required to save the world or protect women.
