[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women claim they want equality, but when it really comes down to it, 'equality' for women equates to ONLY having equal representation amongst the most highest paying, white collar office jobs/tech available.  Nowhere do you hear crying from women that we need more gender equality when it comes to workplace deaths due to hazardous jobs (>90% of which are men).  No where do you hear women crying for equal representation for blue collar and other very dangerous/very dirty jobs.  Many women don't even want to be equally registered for the the selective service like a man. It is total hypocrisy. Women don't want equality.  They just want the best of the best only. [/quote]

Ah now there’s that delightful misogyny. Never takes long to pop up![/quote]

Also love how these people always claim women don’t do dirty jobs… tell that to the daycare workers, nurses, and eldercare workers (the majority of whom are women) who LITERALLY clean up pee, poop, vomit, and blood every day.  And have to be gentle and NICE while doing so.  And making less money than men doing “dirty” jobs. 🙄[/quote]

DP. Great point.

I'm pro all citizens in the draft. Women have been doing dirty work since time immemorial. We can handle dangerous work, too.[/quote]

Dp- as soon as society starts valuing us for it.[/quote]

Where do you draw the line? Should POC be exempt from the draft? What about someone who can trace their ancestry to slaves? What about first generation immigrant? What about families who are below the poverty line? What about Jews, Chinese, Japanese, etc…all have been devalued and still are today. [/quote]

What about them? Start a new discussion about them if you like. This thread is about women, and how some posters are super cool with them getting the short end of every stick.[/quote]

Oh I thought it was about how women should get special treatment. [/quote]

Nothing special about it. You are asking for a special change. No thanks.[/quote]
