[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a woman (also a veteran). I think young women should sign up for selective service, just as young men do.  We can’t complain about wanting equality only when it suits our needs. [/quote]

Thank you for your service! I agree with this even though I personally would not want to have been in it. I think it's only fair if we want equal rights. Israel does it.

I’m all for it when I get equal pay.
I’m all for it when the military can prove that my daughter won’t be assaulted and harassed while serving.
TIA[/quote]
This is an absurd and self serving position. Do all men get "equal pay"?  What does that even mean to you? The second point is also ridiculous. You did your daughter's current profession or school give you proof that she wouldn't be harassed or assaulted before she began? I bet not. [/quote]

Look you want a societal good? Then society needs to put up or shut up.
There is nothing absurd about “women’s work” being intrinsically undervalued. I work in the arts and live it every day.
Thr military’s record of treatment of women is horrendous. They can clean their house, if they want to welcome women in.
Also, you equated forced service to a choice of employment and education.
Women get to choose a campus they feel safe on. They can leave a job if harassed.
Your comparison is ridiculous.

100 Percent Correct. Well said, PP.[/quote]

Look the draft is basically enslavement. You get no choice. It is inherently unequal to only draft men specially when women can vote. Women can vote to send men to fight and die with no risk of themselves having to fight and die. Women also would not lose two years of their lives. If you want to be treated as equal you lose your privilege of choice. Men do not get to choose and women do not get to choose. It’s a draft.

Women are not exempted for the draft because of sexual assault or paid issue in society. Women are exempt because of misogyny. Women are thought of as incapable of fighting in a war, physical the weak and needing protection of men. This is why women are nit include in the draft.

Another point is from the recent Afghanistan war. Many women feel the US should continue to fight in Afghanistan for women rights. These same women refuse(or choose not) to actually enlist and go to war. They also do not want their daughters doing it. [b]They want to sent others really just men to fight  for there cause. [/b]If you have no skin in the game you will continue to send men to fight and die while you remain safe at home. [/quote]

There has never been a cause that I'd want to send my DH, father, sons, uncles to die for. If they choose to, fine. But not forced to.[/quote]
