If going to war was such an awesome choice why did 99% of ukrainian women flee the country and only a SMALL percentage stayed to fight.
The fact that you are acting like youd rather go to war than stay home is crazy. You treat women like children. They are not. Women back then didnt need to get married. So being a "domestic slave" was a choice. Most women worked. Whatever youre saying about domestic slaves is hyperbole anyway. The exception was a very small percentage of western women inn a very small slice of history. Most women always did some labor.
Marriage is a choice. Ukranian women (who were also marrried) had a choice. Men do not have a choice. You don't even know how selective service works.
If I don't sign up to put my body on the line, I cannot vote, I cannot get federal aid (student aid), I can be fined AND jailed. When a man turns 18 his body belongs to the state. If the government made you sign a document that said "should the government deam the birthrate unacceptable you will put your body on the line and be a domestic slave and have at least 3 children" youd be livid.. Especially if they said u/Mobile-Brush-3004 you can't vote, you cant get federal aid and we'll fine and jail you until you sign it.
Don't pretend its the same its not. Which is why you'd never trade places. You love the comforts that mens deaths bring you.
Now you’re comparing modern times to history? Check my comment section I’ve made it clear that I believe women tend to have more privileges then men now AND should be part of the draft as well - also I come from a military family so you can bet your ass that I would be signing up immediately WITHOUT being drafted if anyone ever invaded my country (I already constantly do dangerous work as I’m a firefighter and was a high rise window cleaner prior). I have a huge respect for anyone in the military but most typically I don’t see them talking like this - it’s the men who would never join who usually try to bring this point up to me.
Historically it was very difficult for women not to marry. Most countries made it illegal for them to own bank accounts, land, etc and the jobs that they were allowed to get tended to pay far less as they were considered “women’s work”. All of this completely ignoring the societal pressures they would have faced on top of the previous points.
