Why are only men drafted for war?

In this episode of The Men We Are, we explore the complex and often uncomfortable reality of military conscription and what it reveals about masculinity, equality, and civic duty. Why are men still overwhelmingly expected to fight in war? Is it biology, tradition, or deeply embedded cultural expectations? As global tensions rise from Eastern Europe to the Middle East, we unpack the ethics of the draft, the social contract between citizen and state, and whether true equality means shared responsibility in both peace and conflict. We examine historical roots, modern perspectives, and personal implications, asking a powerful question: what does society really expect from men when it matters most? This thought-provoking episode challenges assumptions and invites a deeper understanding of gender roles in modern life.
