Woman definitely can serve and general training for everyone is not a bad idea so that people could try and understand if they like it.

But as far as the real war goes, you won't mobilise womans unless they have very specific skills (medics, mostly), cause someone needs to take care of the children.

Gender equality isn't a top priority during the war, I guess.

This is what fathers do as well

Not if they are mobilised too.

You've kinda fucked yourself over if all the parents are away shooting other people

When it comes to mobilisation, we are talking about nonvoluntary service. The mobilisation rules need to be simple and easily enforced. So yeah, the simplest way to avoid both parents to be forcefully mobilised is to do this on men only, and add a clause about a single parent in case mother died or is in service.

Otherwise I can't see how it isn't gonna be a mess.
