“The form will be mandatory for men and voluntary for women.”

This is highly misandrist. I can’t believe that we are in 2025 and a - so called - democratic government is still denying women the opportunity to potentially go and die miserably in the front lines on equal footing with men.

We can surely do better. Women and girls deserve more.
