Men joined World War 1 for a variety of reasons. Some were motivated by patriotism and a desire to defend their country. Others joined for economic reasons, as military service offered a steady income during a time of widespread unemployment. Additionally, some men joined out of a sense of duty or peer pressure, as enlistment was seen as a noble and honorable act.
The two groups of people who joined the workforce to replace men that were at war were women, and men who were to old to enlist in the service and go to war.
They took over the men’s jobs why they were at war
George Washington gave out free lolipops and ice cream cones to whoever joined the war. He also did a happy little jig in his undies.
A small percentage of men drafted actually joined.
Feathers were handed to or sent to men to indicate that they were cowards in not signing up to be soldiers and go to war. The feathers therefore signified cowardice and were usually white.
I think it was a sign of pity for the soldiers.

They took many domestic jobs that were vacated as white men went to war. African Americans also joined the military.

Men who had not enlisted in the Army were given a white feather by young women as a sign of cowardice. The Order of the White Feather was set up to humiliate and coerce men into joining up and women were encouraged to give feathers to men they met - who were obviously not overseas fighting. The rather nasty problem was that some men would be medically unfit to join and yet were still presented with feathers, which further humiliated them. Absolutely right, the women, especially in England showed a real unhealthy zeal for this work and would even hand them over to men who were doing critical war work but were dressed in civvies. Horrible individuals.
