Factually untrue, Russian men can and do leave the country. Also, nice whataboutism bro.
How about Russians from abroad, do they often go back to Russia?

If that factoid were at all important then the military should use grip strength to determine who to draft, not gender.
There are physical tests and people do get disqualified.

> And while I wouldn't necessarily call it draconian because after all somebody has to defend my country The ends don't justify the means. Conscription has no place in the free world. It's slavery, plain and simple. Going into the military should be an appealing career choice. Our soldiers are supposed to be highly skilled professionals, not cannon fodder in large quantities.

Being able to serve is something the feminists have been fighting for the hardest over decades. The people who are trying to make young men only doing the killing the norm are the same people trying to end feminism. Therefore, there is some logic in your question. When I was in Asia two years ago, as an American, every time I met a young Russian man escaping conscription, drinks were on me as appreciation to their co…
> Being able to serve is something the feminists have been fighting for the hardest over decades. If any claim ever required "citation needed", this one is the biggest. I've never seen feminists fight for duties, only for privileges.
Do you agree that women and men should serve equally in front line combat?
