Nobody's going to bring up the sexism? I thought feminism was for equality. Why then no complains of not having equal responsibility here?

Just like when Ukraine did this, nobody cared. No complaints in the media at all.

They always want more women in the offices too, never in the coal mines.

In 2006, the Federal Administrative Court justified the absence of compulsory military service for women in a ruling, citing, among other reasons, that women face greater burdens in the domestic sphere than men and that this alone would justify their exemption from military service obligations. So military service is seen as a service like healthcare and care services where women already do most of the work, mostly privately and unpaid.

Also Curds and Israelis prove that women can very well be full on soldiers.
