I hope this get fixed eventually, either by extending it to both genders or removing it completely.

In Switzerland we had a small reform of our army and copying the Norwegians was considered for a while, but they ended up dropping the idea for just doing small changes. Quite disappointing.

Every country has abolished private slavery. I'd like to imagine a world where each individual state also relinquished its claim to enslave people.
