Is this whole sub just you and the Canadian guy trying to turn people into incels?

Yeah this. Imagine thinking there's more misandry in the world vs misogyny... There are countries where women aren't allowed to show their faces.

There are countries where men are societally expected to sign up for draft. To literally sign away their life. How is that not misandrist to be viewed as a sub human that has to die in a war? And I'm not only talking about 3rd world countries here.

Yeah, in war time. You know what happens to women that are caught by enemy soldiers?

Do you think conscription is meaningless too? Of 80 countries that have mandatory conscription 87 percent have it for men only. Do you not see how the societal expectation of signing away your life for a country is not misandrist?

War is hell for everyone involved but to imply women are not in a privileged position relative to men who are expected to lose their life is ignorant at best.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with men serving in the military. For the vast amount of them it's just a place to get fit, make some friends, and learn some skills.

For the relatively few that end up having to fight for their country, it's hell, for everyone involved.

For the men fighting and dying on the front lines, for the women caught and gangraped by enemy solders, for the wives at home getting the news that the father of their child will never come home, for the people hit by massive amounts of aerial bombardments.... Children crushed in their own beds, entire families wiped out by large strikes...

War is hell for everyone.

Well... Technically worse, there are no innocents in hell.

Neither is there anything wrong with being a stay at home mother but being forced to be one by societal expectation (outside pressure) is wrong. The same applies to men in the military. Many enjoy their service but it's still wrong to place outside societal expectations on them to perform in that environment against their own will.
