Is it sexist to force men into mandatory military service?

In many countries around the world, men are forced into mandatory military service when they turn 18 while women are exempt and do not have to do anything. Not to mention in America males are made to register for military conscription if they ever bring it back or they lose certain privileges that women get for free. This seem very sexist against men. What do you think?Is it sexist to force men into mandatory military service?Sounds unfair to me. I think all 18 year olds should either serve in the military or serve a year in Vista or the Peace Corps and contribute something to society. Some countries do require women to serve in the military, but often they are sexist and won't allow women in combat roles, like the US won't officially allow female soldiers to participate in combat roles.Is it sexist to force men into mandatory military service?
I don't agree with the idea of a conscript military. There's a reason the US Military is the greatest in the world--and NOT being a conscript army is one of them. I don't agree with the draft OR Selective Services. I don't think the idea of a conscript army is so much a sexist one but as one that violates a person's personal/individual rights. I think its wrong to force one to serve their country---it should be a choice, not a government forced thing.Is it sexist to force men into mandatory military service?Actually, I don't get why some people say you have to have served in the military to complain about something like this. It is a sexist policy against men, so we are pointing it out! The whole "have you served in the army" thing seems to be a tactic used to shame the asker.Is it sexist to force men into mandatory military service?
I definitely think it is a practice based in a sexist patriarchal system. So, yes.





Marcus-Have you fought in the military?Is it sexist to force men into mandatory military service?It goes way back to when women were not considered for fighting in wars. And I like to see those free privileges that you keep mentioning.Is it sexist to force men into mandatory military service?
yes.%26lt;(^.^%26lt;)
It's only sexist if you think serving your country is a negative thing.
