Patriarchy wins again! Switzerland rejected calls to treat women like equals, and men will continue being the only sex privileged enough to be enslaved! Feminists are surely devastated!

GENEVA — Swiss voters on Sunday decisively rejected a call to require women to do national service in the military, civil protection teams or other forms, as men must do already.
In a referendum, over 84% of voters rejected the “citizen service initiative” and none of the country's 26 cantons, or states, came anywhere near voting in favor. Proposals need a majority of both voters and cantons to pass.
A separate proposal to impose a new national tax on individual donations or inheritances of more than 50 million francs ($62 million) was shot down by more than 78% of voters. The revenues were to be used to fight the impact of climate change and help Switzerland meet its ambitions to have net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Supporters of the national service plan hoped that it would boost social cohesion by adding jobs in areas like environmental prevention, food security and elderly care. But lawmakers opposed it, mainly for cost reasons and out of concern that it could hurt the economy by taking many young people out of the workforce.

The government countered that the army and civil defense have enough staff, and no more people should be recruited than are needed.

reparations for Rufus NOW
>>1461485 The Swiss have more guns but far less gun violence, because they never enslaved us blacks and then forced us to live in ghettos for the last 150 years and made us angry at white people

They chose public housing and welfare over participation, once again proving that leftwing politics break society and create idiots.
It would be nice though if Bill Clinton never ended welfare so I could get a decent fast food burger.
