Original Topic Title (before topic was moved and

Conscription Law
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription#sexism
Gender equality should apply for both genders and not
only on women.
Do you think it is fair for only male-persons to be forced into
grossly underpaid service (+ lots of weekends burns, sometimes
psychology trauma, + having to go back for reservice every year,
with all the related restrictions, i.e. have to cut hair short, no
dying of hair, etc), and impact on work (especially researchers and
people who's income depends on commission, etc), while all females
are spared?
I had to serve 2.5 year. Hence that makes a total of 3 years
wasted (considering the waiting period for my transistion into NS,
and then into Uni). While females would have the opportunity to get
ahead with their careers due to this sexist policy.
Staying in the kitchen, and become a housewife is no longer a
gender role requirement for females in the modern age. This is
a great thing. So why should backward silly machismo sexist gender
roles for males still apply? Why are male-persons still
expected to be strong and brave to expend their lifes in the
frontlines and haven a significant 2.5 + reservice years
of their lifes taken away, when we no longer live in a savage and
babaric world?
Not all males are necessarily stronger or fitter than females
even though it might be a majority. Even Pes Cs or Es still have to
serve while Pes A and B females have a choice.
