Under conscription, the following paragraph should be moved somewhere else. It is not about conscription, but lists military experience of people on the military.

paragraph to move
Conditions in the military have been described as "sexually abusive" and the "sexual persecution" of women.Relentless sexist ridicule, hostility, and sexual harassment has been frequently reported. Women in the military are more likely to be raped by a male fellow soldier than killed by the enemy. Prosecution of the reported crimes fails to move forward, as the Pentagon claimed it would undermine the leadership of the commanders. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:3917:655:744:5C86 (talk) 06:20, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of this definition (sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender), a better and more objective definition would be: Sexism is a subjective term that is used to refer to perceived prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender on the basis of one's subjective personal, societal or ideological beliefs or on the basis of societal or religious legal framework.
