    Move paragraph to its own section

    [edit]

    Under conscription, the following paragraph should be moved somewhere else. It is not about conscription, but lists military experience of people on the military. conscription is only about forcing people to labor and risk lives for the military.

    paragraph to move

    Conditions in the military have been described as "sexually abusive" and the "sexual persecution" of women.Relentless sexist ridicule, hostility, and sexual harassment has been frequently reported. Women in the military are more likely to be raped by a male fellow soldier than killed by the enemy. Prosecution of the reported crimes fails to move forward, as the Pentagon claimed it would undermine the leadership of the commanders. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:3917:655:744:5C86 (talk) 06:20, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Rather than create a one-paragraph section, I renamed this one from "Conscription" to "Military". Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 12:34, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The section should be called conscription as it is the main point.
    forced labor military service on the basis of gender alone is important to keep in the sexism page.
    the part about rape and prosecutions of rape in the military needs it’s own section 2600:1700:D591:5F10:480E:F575:B322:4215 (talk) 21:32, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    A More Accurate Definition of Sexism

    [edit]

    Instead of this definition (sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender), a better and more objective definition would be: Sexism is a subjective term that is used to refer to perceived prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender on the basis of one's subjective personal, societal or ideological beliefs or on the basis of societal or religious legal framework.

    I hope someone incorporates it, I'm not right now eligible to make a change. 103.182.170.95 (talk) 14:45, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Point to a reliable source describing it in that manner. Binksternet (talk) 15:51, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
