Conscription of men is Slavery
I believe the most condensed form of misandry is conscription (and possinly MGM). So conscription is bascially slavery. Sure, you might come up with a made-up distinction but for all intents and purposes it's unfree labour and it's disgusting. I am REALLY annoyed when people even take issue with men expressing their disapproval of the fact that they are drafted solely because of their gender. Go to a thread about the war in Ukraine on an European subreddit. Someone is bound to bring up the fact that only men are drafted as an injustice and then the replies are "well what are they supposed to do?' IDK, if Ukraine is so desperate for people they might try drafting women too. Or "well sure human rights can be curtailed during war". Well why is it that only men's rights are curtailed. Or "but you enjoy the stuff the state gives you and need to give back". Sure but women also get services from the state and apparently they are freed from that obligation. When we talk about peacetime military service in countries like Finland and Austria the gaslighting gets out of control. I'm not kidding, all of these countries that have a male-only draft specificly exclude that fact from their constitutional equality clauses by using the excuse that "the male draft clause takes precedence because its a more specific clause". This is a totally made-up and nonsensical concept meant to shup men up about that issue. And again I'm calling Europe out because in all the countries with male conscription that men have sued for discrimination they have used this justification for upholding the law. So just saying "it's not discrimination because it says so in the constitution even though we have equality laws" is not a real argument and is not tackling the issue. There are studies on how conscripts' lives are lagging compared to non-draftees and it's not trivial stuff. Less income overall, throughout all of their lives, which for some reason is not considered worth talking about, more prone to alcoholism, etc etc. But none of those issues can be brought up for discovery in a lawsuit because "well the constitution says its not discrimination and therefore you don't have a case". Disgusting. Also I want to talk about how it's really the women who benefit from men being drafted. Yes, it's not some abstract "state" that benefits from the male-only draft. It's women because they get to live in a country that's being protected only by men. Also there is civil service as an option and the men have to work for basically no pay in hospitals or fire departments. And women can't be made to do any of that because this form of forced labour is only permitted as an alternative to doing military service and of course women are not made to do military service. That's why women had the audacity to in majority to keep the draft for men in Switzerland AND Austria in 2013 just to gaslight them and say "BuT iT's MeN DrAftinG oThEr MeN". So yeah, the male draft issue is the most important one and it fully exposes the nature of male oppression. The gaslighting needs to stop.
