  1. You don't need to support them but you may be asked to defend your country. If you refuse to do so then yeah you might be accused of being a coward.

  2. The military relies a lot on physical strength, I'm not sure why you want all women, who can perform valuable background tasks, in the same number as men.

  3.  @gnrseanra9070  A per the dictionary, "an adult female person". You're welcome.

  4.  @Yanousecq  That's not equal treatment, that's like putting the IT guy in charge of the HR department.

  5.  @gnrseanra9070  Put the right people doing the right tasks. This is true for a company as it is for the military.

  6. What about defending your country? That would be a good idea, no?

  7. Men can say "my body my choice" too... you have a say on whatever medical procedures are done to you no?

  8.  @bobmorane2082  Overseas?

  9.  @juliobela5846  So being on the frontlines is easy peasy? Have you been seeing images of the current wars? Are solders happily just flying planes? Have you ever seen military training? Still, you'd probably like to see your wife or daughter in the military, I wouldn't. Personal choices.

  10.  @bobmorane2082  I know, but you may need adequate forces to defend your country, don't even need to leave the island.

  11.  @sandman4663  Is he Ukrainian?

  12.  @Ravi9A  Physically? Is that even a question?

  13. War is attack but defense as well.

  14.  @airconditionedrelco7099  Fallen to whom?

  15.  @user-op8fg3ny3j  Not that logic obviously.

  16.  @grasshopper8901  What about being on the frontlines? What do you think military training consists of, pressing buttons?

  17. ​ @Kaede-Sasaki Would you really like to see your gf or daughter join the military? I would rather spare them that.

  18. Word salad.

  19. ​ @Pidalin Or just rent it.

  20. Some women can be deployed on the frontlines, but women are more suited for background tasks. The fact that feminists advocate that most duties should be shared doesn't mean you should not have nuanced thinking and use it appropriately.

  21. The military is more suited to men for obvious reasons. Women can be more useful in background roles.

  22. Women are more useful elsewhere.

  23.  @Luchi1  I mean, between losing years of your life or potentially losing your country... Of course free will is a thing and you can run away if you want but at the same time by not staying and defending everyone and everything you leave behind, which up until that point I assume it was dear to you, you risk being called a coward yes.

  24. ​ @aftereight9143 Self-hating population? What's even that? What I know is when push comes to shove and people feel existential threat they unite to fight for what's theirs. It's not so much nationalism but rather patriotism.

  25.  @hevnervals  What privileges? The world is mostly run by men, being politically, economically and even culturally.

  26.  @Pidalin I meant a house since you talked about mortgages.

  27.  @Pidalin  You are right, I should have quoted you, sorry about that.

  28.  @aAverageFan  Women are usually more against conscription. And war/aggression/violence in general.

  29. Yes, that's the whole point of this.
    1
  30.  @markdowding5737  Yes it should but at the same time women should be given the chance to enter the military if so they wish.
    1
  31. Because women are more useful elsewhere.

  32. Yes, why not making an exception considering other places in society where women can be more helpful? This is not an all or nothing game.
