Even if you were, conscript training is not equally distributed: 24% of conscripts in 2023 were women in Sweden, 32% in 2024 in Norway.

Maybe one day it will get there but it's been a decade and has not got there yet.

I know but OP was talking about laws specifically, not their application.

I don't think you can divorce the laws from their application in cases like this. This isn't some nebulous situation where if you squint right it's equal.
