Patriarchy thinks they are too weak [/quote]

One time when we don't need to object[/quote]

Ugh, you do realize women serve honorably and with valor currently - to include frontline combat positions in the next war?[/quote]

NP, and sure.  But from a selfish perspective, I'd rather my daughter not be compelled.  If she chooses to serve, great.[/quote]

I'd rather my son not be compelled either. I'd go in his place any day. But fair is fair. As long as we have the possibility of the draft in this country, it should be equal for men and women. [/quote]

Nah. Women are not treated as equal in this country. Until they are you. A take your equivalency for the military and stuff it. [/quote]

In what way are women not treated as equal?[/quote]

I know you think you're being cute, as well as deliberately obtuse on this issue, but the ways are many. From having their medical choices dictated, to being paid less, to being objectified and having their sexual assault claims disbelieved (and allegations taken seriously- look at the rape kit backlog in this country), to not having medical problems being given the same attention . . . . and the list goes on and on and on. And frankly, the women I know who serve in the military (and love it for various reasons) would agree that the views towards women in it, which MUCH better than decades ago, still has a long way to go. [/quote]

To add, and get on any social media platform and you'll see the [b]ingrained misogyny[/b] in this country and women are viewed and talked about. [/quote]

Why do you disrespect other women who disagree with you?  (I also think it is funny that somehow you attribute this to the United States.  You do know that all countries in Europe place gestational limits on abortion? They are typically between 12-14 weeks, and none later than 24 weeks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Europe#:~:text=In%20most%20European%20countries%2C%20abortion,abortion%20later%20in%20the%20pregnancy

But Europe is SO enlightened... unlike the U.S.
