Germany’s best -known women’s rights activist would prefer a social year in the event of compulsory military service. To be able to handle weapons, she would like to be good. Women in particular should defend themselves.
Feminist Alice Schwarzer only sees a possible compulsory compulsory in Germany as fair if it also applies to women. “As a realist, I have to live with the fact that the Bundeswehr exists,” said the 82-year-old Pacificist in a “Zeit” interview. “Since I am already against the compulsory military service for men, I will hardly be for conscription for women. But I am indeed for gender justice. Same rights, equal duties!” In the interview, she would decide in the interview that she would decide for a social year in the event of a duty, even if she would sometimes like to be experienced in dealing with weapons. “Man can’t always be peaceful, sometimes he has to defend himself, especially when he is female. I admit: Sometimes I would also like to be able to shoot.” She “simply had a weakness for peace -loving men and fortified women. They can also shoot if it has to be”. “We spend sums with so many zeros that you can no longer understand.” In the case of education and care, on the other hand, money is missing – in all areas that are about people. “And we upgrade up to the clouds. What are we going to do? Do we want to march to Russia?”
