You didn't read it all the way if you only came up with 15%. Some women have taken up arms but are staying as armed civilians, many without the means to leave.
Ukraine is a more traditional country than mine, and even in mine, the military is unacceptably unfriendly to women, with it seems most getting harassed and sexually assaulted by superiors AND prevented from promotions in far more cases than the national average of jobs does not make it a desirable thing to do. But again, family is its own job and in my country sometimes the woman is the one to serve while the man is at home for whatever reason. I don't consider the man as being less for it. In most countries, women would be expected to escort their families away and take charge of them.
It isn't right to give them that job and in many cases FORCE them into that job and then turn around and treat them as less for your own decisions or familiy decisions for safety. This is what's called a straw man argument , a setup which I'm not falling for.
Some of my friends are in countries that require universal service 18-50 and they do it without complaint. They don't have the same problems with service because it's a given and there are more women present to look out for each other, and more accommodations based on ability.
I'm afraid when it was my time I did try to sign up for selective service but was routinely sent away. I had no trouble with the notion of serving in an emergency. I am an expert in digital accessibility and much of my work has benefited veterans and still does today. So I help often.
But you didn't think about that aspect of serving, did you? MEN make it unfriendly for women to serve so why would they? Why should they give up their daily comfort and happiness because they could contribute and not be appreciated for it.
Many serve at home by running a serviceman's home and family as almost single parents and, keeping it afloat, and helping him physically and mentally on a daily basis when he's injured from his work. So people contribute as they can. You lack respect for the situations people are put in. I don't think what women want is equality but equity. To be treated well based on need and to contribute based on ability.
