Nobody's going to bring up the sexism? I thought feminism was for equality. Why then no complains of not having equal responsibility here?
Just like when Ukraine did this, nobody cared. No complaints in the media at all.
They always want more women in the offices too, never in the coal mines.
- xocnad 6mo agoThe US does not require women to register for the draft. And our current political leadership over the military is actively attempting to take women out of combat and leadership roles.

- raffael_de 6mo agoAlso Curds and Israelis prove that women can very well be full on soldiers.
- guerrilla 6mo agoKurds* yes and Sweden as well. I agree, it's not like people are running around swinging broadswords, maces and war axes anymore. Anyone without a disability can run and pull a trigger or do all those technical jobs.
- csa 6mo ago> Anyone without a disability can run and pull a trigger This is very much untrue in terms of being a soldier in a high-functioning military. Technically, you’re not wrong (at least for lighter weapons). That said, there are many more physically demanding things that are involved in doing infantry things (which is what you’re describing) other than running and pulling a trigger (and ideally hitting the target). > or do all those technical jobs. Depends on the job, but much more likely. The vast majority of the jobs in the military are not infantry or infantry-type jobs, so I can see a lot more scope for drafted women who aren’t cut out for infantry doing these things.
- guerrilla 6mo ago> The vast majority of the jobs in the military are not infantry or infantry-type jobs Exactly.
- MarsIronPI 6mo agoTechnical jobs yes. Infantry still requires a lot of physical strength. I'd welcome anyone who has that strength to be in the infantry, but anyone who can't, male or female, should not be in the infantry, or any job that might require dragging heavy people or heavy equipment.
- guerrilla 6mo agoAs it should be.
- croes 6mo agoIn 2006, the Federal Administrative Court justified the absence of compulsory military service for women in a ruling, citing, among other reasons, that women face greater burdens in the domestic sphere than men and that this alone would justify their exemption from military service obligations. So military service is seen as a service like healthcare and care services where women already do most of the work, mostly privately and unpaid.
- guerrilla 6mo ago> unpaid Right, completely unpaid, which is why most women are homeless and starving on the street.
- croes 6mo agoRight, completely unpaid, which is why most women who take care of family members don’t acquire any pension and social security benefits for that work. That’s why many of them don’t have the time for a full time paid job and either work part time or don’t have a job at all.
- guerrilla 6mo agoThey have a job and they are paid for it. They also do have pensions and social security benefits: through their husbands. If the husband remains alive, they continue to be paid as they were before retirement. If he dies, they often inherent his pension and assets. It's a terrible system and we need to modernize it but you're still wrong on all of your points.
- croes 6mo agoNo, they are not paid. Their husbands get paid, they have all the pensions and social security benefits, not them. Means total dependence on their husbands. If they get a divorce they have nothing.

- sph 6mo agoI wonder how the trans issue will work in this instance.
- cubefox 6mo agoPeople who have "female" or "diverse" in their passport can be biologically male but are are not required to get the military permit.

- pietrod 6mo agoI scrolled till this comment on disbelief that everybody fail/pretend not to notice, just incredible. really for some people the concept of equality is a transaction, when you give me is ok when is my time I'm distracted... "is all a construct" until "this is the traditional way bro come on", disgusting.
- coiduck 6mo agoMen in general are more disposable. The human population could be sustained with a smaller number of men than women. Or, from hardly any men and a well-stocked sperm bank.
