Where I'm from, males are required to spend one year serving in the military without pay. And it's not like ROTC in the US: You don't have any chance to get education - it's a full-time job, and some people are even shipped into war zones. Because I'm male, I was forcibly drafted. I was shot, crippled for life and when I came back to civilization, I was told that I had to give up my college spot because I was born the wrong sex.
When I finally did get into college, I was pelted with rocks by angry female protesters. This was outside the same university that rejected my application because I was male, but apparently that wasn't enough.
When I couldn't get in in my home country, I moved to the US (it's easier to get into college there). While I was there, I met a girl who couldn't accept that I wasn't interested in her. She'd just wait outside my door day and night. One time she picked the lock on my door, snuck inside and hid naked in my sheets. Another time she broke my window, snuck inside and placed a skull on my desk. Finally, when nothing else worked, she drugged my water with heavy duty pain killers and while I was out, she raped me. She gave me herpes, and I had no legal recourse, because at the time, the legal definition of rape was something men did against women (this was the actual, official FBI definition of rape). I tried going to the local women's shelter - I wasn't expecting much, but I was hoping they could at least recommend a good therapist to see so I'd have someone to talk to. Just for knocking on their door, I was threatened with police action to have me forcibly removed from their property. I didn't even get to speak one word to them.
The police dismissed my case and refused to listen. I should mention, this wasn't the only time in my life I was taken advantage of by women - I was taken advantage of by an older woman when I was 8, and again at age 11, plus once by a male class mate when I was 10. I have a female friend who is strongly feminist. She said that it was terrible, and that rape was rape no matter what sex the victim is, but when I tried to confide in her, she closed up completely. Apparently her support was just a sound bite - she talked a good game, but her actions didn't follow suit.
I'm well aware that there are parts about being female that are terrible and unfair. I see how US women live in a state of near-panic any time they're outside alone, and I go out of my way to not give them reasons to be afraid. I'll walk several blocks to avoid walking behind a woman if I'm out at night for example, just so she can feel safer. But I feel you should know that there are terrible things about being male too.
One last piece of advice: If you want to be in the military, I say go for it. During my service, I only ever met one man who thought less of female recruits. He was dishonorably discharged and forced to spend a year in prison because he whistled at a female recruit, which counts as sexual harassment. Other than him, I've never met anyone who'd think less of you for being female in the military.
Besides, you'd never get anything meaningful out of life if you only seek to do that which is expected of you. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck.
