The US excludes us too, but it just feels… different.
In Greece they check that you have 2 balls. You can’t serve if you have one only.
That’s nuts…
Bollocks!
Hey, you can’t be sure these girls aren’t also there to visit their boyfriends in the army.
Surely the army would conscript them to a cybersecurity red team?
military bad, draft bad.
but, yhea, gender discrimination is also bad. not sure if finding roles for them in the system is progress.
I think the joke is that at least in the west there is a very high amount of people in the tech industry who are trans.
It’s the classic “is it progress if women are smoking” dilemma.
We have non-binary drone pilots, diversity
or We can have women war criminals, bossgirl feminism.
The NSA wishes they could harness that kind of power
Draft tends to apply to men only, so they probably can’t conscript them, even if they want to.
Here in Germany, men can get drafted, even during peace time, while women can only be required to work in healthcare during a war.
Draft bad
Gender discrimination bad
but in this case, somehow, they cancel each other out.
To be honest, if a country is gonna implement a draft or some form of compulsory service requirement, it should be gender neutral, and apply to their citizens universally, with no bearing on gender identity. By all means keep the physical fitness standards to ensure force effectiveness, but possession of one or another particular combinations of genitalia should not play into the equation at all.
On one hand, I agree with you, on the other hand I don’t want to impose a military draft on 50-ish % of the population. On the other other hand, true gender equality would be if it didn’t apply to anyone regardless of gender cause fuck drafts
I agree that gender discrimination is bad, but progress needs to be about a abolishing military and drafts, rather than making it “diverse”.
Those drafted can also pay to not go to the military. My girlfriend’s brother who is now living abroad paid i think ~200€ to not have to go there
Could you just show up in a dress and say your trans or do they make some attempt to verify?
like “install arch linux without setup scrip within 20 minutet. go!”
Well shit, I guess I’d be getting drafted then.
“compile a kernel in under 9 months”
Is it cheating if I have a script that builds a kernel package for my system?
If this was the only way to avoid the draft, I would become trans sooooo fast.
Stan’s what?
