@akaRightWrong That is ludicrous! Religious women have to apply to join a Religious Community. They not only have a noviciate which lasts at least a year they take temporary vows of 3 years to see if Religious life is their calling. Even after taking permanent vows many sisters have had their vows annulled and gone back to secular life.
@AExodus7 being a nun is a forced religious service, if it wasn't forced, then why don't they allow those poor young girls to marry or have kids. i'll make sure i fight this injustice.
@akaRightWrong Becoming a nun is a choice women make to enter a church order formally, often to dedicate their practice, time and concentration to becoming closer to their God. Most every church and religion has a form of dedicated service. Consider Shaolin and Buddhist monks, Muslim imams, and Christian priests and friars.
It is a personal choice; not a decree by church or state.
If there are examples of forced religious service though, please tell me to further my knowledge of this.
@akaRightWrong what is "false consciousness"?

Most nuns I know personally feel like they are "called", not forced.

@visualdichotomy NOOPE, they don't choose to, they are driven by false consciousness. (blinded)

@akaRightWrong Um, you know that nobody is made a nun, right? People choose to be nuns.
