I looked it up and found...It is if that service not only comes with some noteworthy perks
(just think of the prestige that comes from working full time at a place like this;

with a view from the office like this;
It has perks such as having your living expenses paid for.
And most importantly it enacts laws which in a Baha'i world directly effect people (which naturally includes women).
To bar people form a position which has obvious perks and prestige and effects their lives is obviously discrimination regardless of whether you call it service.
But you should ask yourself the question, if somone called being a member of the clergy a "service" then barred women from participating or called being a member of national parliament a "service" then barred women from participating, would you be hoodwinked about such obvious discrimination against women by application of the term service?
If not then it is most probably indoctrination that leads you to be hoodwinked by the application of the term service into your own indoctrinated religion.
In my opinion.
'As to the House of Justice: according to the explicit text of the Law of God, its membership is exclusively reserved to men.

I don't know, but I'd imagine there are a lot of women working there in subordinate positions.'People must just accept the fact that women are not eligible to the International House of Justice.
