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

Having a country's population be trained in the military can have some benefits. (Yes I know this is very vague)

Not occupying all the time of half your population for two years of their lives probably has greater, less-vague benefit.

Higher education will have a far more profound impact.

Yes, but it requires far more spending by the government.

Yeah but it's like spending on health
