What do you mean by slavery? Because if you mean mandatory military service, men have that. Women are voluntarely in service.
Finland also applied for NATO membership in 2022.  I wonder what happened to cause all this, Vladimir?  What a maroon. >

I don’t he is a maroon. He looks more like a pale orange. >

It's a Bugs Bunny reference from years ago. >

Lol thanks for the reference. Didn’t know that one. >

He once called Elmer Fudd a Nimrod, implying sarcastically that Fudd was a "great" hunter.  People didn't get the sarcasm, and for 50 years have used nimrod as an insult meaning idiot, changing its meaning. >

Holy shit I never thought about that >

If you wanna feel really silly, maroon was just Bugs Bunny mispronouncing the word moron >

Come on Finland make it gender neutral like Sweden did already. I'm from Estonia and our politicians copy everything from you guys and girls so if you do we would have to as well. >

Gender neutral would be ideal but Swedens system would not. We still need most to enlist while in Sweden only some are enlisted. Hopefully we can implement gender neutral universal conscription soon. Majority of the people don't yet support it though. >

You don’t mess with Finnish women. >

I've heard they were Russian to recruiters. It's well known that Finland doesn't start wars, they Finnish them. >

We need to Sweden the deal and Finnish their NATO approval. >

There's Norway they get attacked before Denmark it in. >

I find it odd that military service is mandatory for men but not women. >

For countries that still have it I find this really unsettling too, especially in otherwise developed western democracies.
I know in several the female (or woman-identifying) populace are often given a set of options for “equivalent” service in other roles like healthcare but it still bugs me due to the expected service and potential mortality risk difference. It doesn’t strike me as very equal at all. >

I think its mostly because of tradition and practicality. When you have a family and kids you cant send out both parents to war. I belive in equality, but in the case of war i want women only to serve if its an volunatry decision. >

What if the mom wants to service while the dad wants to stay and care for the kids? Or if the parents are the same sex? Or if a woman doesn’t have kids? (Edit: oh and what if it’s a single dad as a parent?)
If you truly believe in equality, than either both men and woman are forced to serve (with exemptions for one parent) or neither are. >

Thats a lot of "what-ifs". I feel you are making an argument just for the sake of it.
In a "traditional" family mom and dad have different sexes (mom being female, and dad being male) and in this scenario, men are getting the short stick, and are sent to war. I pretty sure most men would prefer it this way, instead of sending mommy to he frontlines.
For the sake of argument, im totally fine with both going to war if they so choose. In this case i hope they actually have a plan for their kids, in the case that both never return. In other cases when both are male/female there should obviously be special rules and regulations, and im pretty sure this is already implemented in many countries military doctrine.
Personally i would never send the mother of my kids to the frontline. Your mileage may vary. >

I think if you have to, any one parent regardless of gender for conscription is fair.  I'd prefer volunteer only forces but if you can't get enough patriotic people, that's the best way to handle things. >

I can kinda see why. Finland is like one of the few, if not the only government that doesn’t treat their citizens like total trash. And they don’t get themselves involved in nonsense wars. Hell, even I almost wouldn’t mind volunteering and I’m not even from there. >

It's almost like you can have an army without relying on slavery.
Edit: yikes. Supporting slavery, how sad.
