As a father of two daughters, I have to say conscription of young women is a barbaric logical outcome of egalitarian ideology. Perhaps in modern militaries there are less brutal work environments where 'sexism' could still come into play by providing differing roles for men and women - but that would already break the purity of the original conclusion.

Sure, for the sake of argument, if women and men are no different at all they should both be forced to go to the front lines in Ukraine and die for their country. I for one say men and women are different enough that conscription should work differently for them. I guess I'm sexist then!

If men have extra duties (conscription) then shouldn't they have extra privileges to make up for that?

Feminism wants to erase all male privileges, seems unfair to do that while still saddling men with extra duties.

> Feminism wants to erase all male privileges, seems unfair to do that while still saddling men with extra duties.

There are different types of Feminism.

The first wave of Feminism is defined in terms of trying to gain rights that males had:

> Originating in late 18th-century Europe, feminist movements have campaigned and continue to campaign for women's rights, including the right to vote, run for public office, work, earn equal pay, own property, receive education, enter contracts, have equal rights within marriage, and maternity leave.

I think that you may be referring to more recent strands of Feminism that may be going in more radical directions.

It all comes down to instincts we developed as chimps. Men fight to protect (or expand) tribe and territory. Women don't fight. It's in our DNA. If you have to apply logic to it, use the biological basis as your guide. Men shoulder all the fighting to enable female reproduction, and women reproduce. It seems asymmetrical but pretty equal to me.

Conscription is barbaric. Conscription regardless of sex just distributes the barbarism fairly.
