Wouldn't it be men making the decision on conscription policies though? A more liberal / less sexist government would be more likely to bin that.

The key difference I tend to see between men and women's issues is that men's issues are often caused by other men in power. Feminism, ironically enough, can also help with a lot of problems disenfranchised men have.

Sorry I'm rambling a bit.

    Sooooo yes, everything you said is correct, but there's a missing piece of context: binning the military would mean binning South Korea as we know it, so nobody (liberal or conservative) is in favor of binning it. The lines are much more murky.

    Binning a sexist conscription system is not anything close to “binning the military”

    It very literally is, in South Korea's case.

    How so?

    Beginning to conscript women as well as men does not equate to abolishing the military, or am I missing something?
