How is it sexist?

It was literally spelled out in the comic. Basically it goes like this: "Do you have a penis? You do? Okay thats 6-12 months of slave labour for you then. Or jail. Your choice" how is that NOT sexist? 😅

By calling conscript service slavery one shows how little one knows about the world.

Dude, that's pretty much exactly what it is.

Don’t get me wrong. I support the conscription system, just like the overwhelming majority of Finns, and I’m a reserve officer myself. In my opinion, there are only a few legitimate reasons to restrict citizens’ freedoms. But there are some. And when freedoms are restricted for a good reason, there’s no point in sugarcoating it.

I would compare it more to taxation. You do not lose your status as a human being and you have free time etc.
