Denmark plans compulsory military conscription for women, as the Nordic country seeks to significantly boost the size of its armed forces.
The move can help Denmark meet its requirements under its Nato membership.
It would also be “beneficial” for the military if it had more women employed, Danish Defence Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen said in an interview with broadcaster TV2.
Currently, women can join on a voluntary basis while men generally are required to serve if they are called on under a lottery system.
The new measure has the backing of several women’s organisations and comes as Denmark, like the rest of Europe, provides increasing levels of support to Ukraine in the war to oust Russia from the country.

At least they're not hypocrites like the 'women's movement' here in the U.S. that oppose women registering for Selective Service.
Equality.
I didn’t know Denmark had a military…
I guess Denmark can define “woman.”
What if “they/them” identify as a cat?
When it’s time to man up...
I guess they decided they had to include women in the draft or men would seek to avoid the draft by claiming they were trannies.
comfort women?
If this happens, it still won’t.
I suspect that’s the plan.
I plead complete ignorance with respect to Danish politics and culture.
All you need to know is that they don’t make Danes like they used to.
Sigh.
That seems to apply to many countries.
Deep States are evil, not stupid.
And very good at what they do.
We’re in agreement.
Truly stupid people sometimes get things correct by accident, always incorrect is malicious.
So it starts—Soon to be here in the USA and the west.
I’m surprised that Denmark is concerned about its military. I don’t think it has won a war since 1678.
In the 1970’s, Denmark proposed a Telephone Defense System in which the Soviets could call a telephone number and hear the following recorded message: мы сдаемся (we surrender).
To be fair, they have a population of 6 million. Like the Belgians, all they can really do is wave the enemy through at the border
A nation that needs to draft its women is a nation not worth defending.
“A nation that needs to draft its women is a nation not worth defending.”
Israel?
They have mandatory military service for men and women. Women spend 2 years active duty and are in the reserves until age 38.
Israel has been drafting women since 1948.
Socialist or not, for them its a matter of survival. Every woman they draft frees a man to fight in the field.
If you’re surrounded by people who want to kill you, you don’t tell your women they don’t need to learn to fire a gun.
