CMV: Mandatory Military service (Conscription) should be compulsory for either both sexes, or neither.

I don't see why in the 21st century we still insist on separating sexes here. I feel like if there's a conscription law in a country it should be done by both sexes, or alternatively not having a conscription law at all. 

The biggest argument I've seen against this is stuff about how males are biologically better suited to physical tasks and combat, and I find that explanation wholly unsatisfactory. Putting aside how the relevance of brute physical strength is highly diminished in an era where we fight with firearms and war machines, one could simply reassign women to work in supply, aid, transport, and other non-combat domains of the military (this also applies to the  "female brain isn't made for violence", which I find to be dubious at best anyway).

 If the concern is assault and harassment, then that's easy to avoid as long as one puts men and women in different divisions.

Lastly, some countries like Sweden already implement this, and it appears to me that other countries are simply slow on the uptake. I really haven't heard a compelling as to why one recruits just one sex and not both. I feel that it should be either both or neither.

There is an oft overlooked element of women in the military which is coerced sexual contact with subordinates, something militaries the world over have sought to downplay or cover up literally since women were allowed in organized militaries. It is, in effect, the unspoken reason they were not allowed in for a long, long time. 




Current modern militaries are aware of this but do everything in their power to prevent it being public knowledge - the case of the female recruit on the US base found with multiple gunshot wounds, evidence of severe physical torture and acid burned genitals (to remove any evidence) ruled as a “suicide” comes to mind - this was sometime around 2010. 





Exactly the same types of cases come out of all mixed militaries - the UK, France, Israel, the US, the Nordic countries - all of them. 






So gender neutral conscription would require gender-neutral opportunity and freedom from harm, which simply is not a thing in modern militaries.
They’ve never even tried to address the problem and so are negligently under equipped to deal with it. 
On these grounds alone, gender neutral conscription is wrong, similar to a low rate (say 20%) of sexual slavery being made policy - it’s not really morally justifiable.
