Male only conscription. Meaning no bodily autonomy for men.

Why does male only conscription imply no bodily autonomy for men?

The government forcing you to put your body in harm's way is the opposite of bodily autonomy.

We should indeed make conscription equal. In the US, that means eliminating it. We have no use for conscripted soldiers.

Or we could make women sign up for the Selective Service. That would be a small waste of time for both men and women, since a draft is a bad idea. But if we can't eliminate it, making it equal would be fine with me.

Reading between the lines, your comment sounds a bit like "because of the draft men have no bodily autonomy and therefore women shouldn't have it either". I don't think that reasoning holds, but nonetheless, I agree that the draft should be made either universal or nonexistent.

More like hallucinating between the lines, since they didn’t say or imply anything like that.

One in ten are women, who are under no obligation to serve.

Still don't understand how this can fly in EU, it's clear sexual discrimination.
