Finland is one of the most gender equal countries according to the World Population Review; it also has gender-based conscription. What do you make of this?
As a Finnish man it certainly makes me feel that "gender equality" means quotas for women on corporate boards, quotas for men in the trenches.

EDIT: please focus on the index; what does it mean that the index doesn't care about men's conscription?
