Denmark extends the lottery system for military conscription to women

Imagine those right-wing American fraus getting conscripted this way, their love affair with the military would end real quick.

[quote]The Scandinavian country is looking to boost the number of young people in the military by expanding compulsory conscription to women for the first time. Men and women can still volunteer, and the remaining spots will be filled through a gender-neutral recruitment lottery.

[quote]Under new rules, Danish women who turn 18 after Tuesday will be entered into the lottery system on equal terms with their male compatriots. The change comes against a backdrop of Russian aggression and growing military investment across NATO countries.

This is good. America probably couldn't deal with drafted women being forced into combat, but they can be radio operators, nursing assistants, drivers, mechanics, cooks, secretaries.... all kinds of things the military needs to function.

I think there's a high rate of women being raped in the military - so that would be a drag.

Maybe this is what we do with Karens.

This has been happening for my whole life to Israeli young women.

It should be the same in the US. Now we have a sexist system where only men have to sign up for selective service or else risk not being allowed to tap federal student loans
