If women really want full equality to men, shouldn't they be eligible for the draft if the draft was ever?

Question

reinstated? how do women feel about this as well as men?

Answer 1

Women should be eligible, HOWEVER, I don't believe in drafting ANYONE!!

Answer 2

Absolutely..Women are given the same opportunity in the armed services as men, so why should they not fight for our country or whatever they must do. If the draft was ever reinstated, I think it should include both genders. If not, this is discrimination. Women want equal right and they have been given this, so what is good for the men is also good for the women. By the way, I am a woman and I have a son and daughter.

Answer 3

This is an interesting subject. One of the major problems is that when females are called to serve all of a sudden they have issues. Such as: 1) who's going the take of my children, 2) I never thought I'd have to go to a war zone, 3) how will my bills get paid, 4) I can't be gone for 12-18 months, with a possible recall to serve another tour.
Then there is the concern for personal hygiene while in the field. The fact that a large number of them become pregnant while deployed. That is a fact I have personally seen, and it's not their spouse's child they carry. During the situation we are now involved with a good amount also earn extra income turning 'tricks'. A young troop tried to leave the country with 80k she 'earned' during her deployment of 14 months, she was caught.
There have been some females who have had the chaplain speak to commander about 'we need to bath daily, to maintain proper female hygienics' and guess what........shower runs for the females in the company were mandated, DAILY.
If females are to be 'drafted' they will be assigned rear echleon detachments, and never,NEVER, front line duty. Think the Army has problems? So does the Navy with women at sea and the Marines (to a much lesser degree). But the ONLY branch of service that uses the draft is the US Army.
VERY few women would withstand the rigors of combat, forget the bull---t GI Jane (Demi Moore) and Courage Under Fire, it just doesn't happen in the real world. And though women can give birth and rear a family, they can not withstand interragation, loss of limbs or some other disfigurement. Nor go hand-to-hand combat. Heaven forbid one gets killed in action, or how about a POW?
Unfortune they are that way and I for one would not be happy with one in my foxhole, putting my life in her hands.
So let NOW, the Femist-Nazis and the other 'equal rights for women' organizations stop the sex card play when it suits the need and take the front line offensive. Maybe we should have a
brigade of amazons, lead by a bull-dike that truly hate all men. Then cut them loose on the front line. Just imagine what a brigade of PMSers would be capibile of doing!
THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS YES, THEY SHOULD BUT AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, it would not be in the best interest
of this country's ARMED FORCES.

Answer 4

adult adult males and females people worked mutually to develop equivalent rights for all. the ingredient is, the feminists needed to be equivalent without the further duty. Now, i do not mean to sound like an ignorant pig (as i'm confident i'm about to be said as) yet I honestly do not imagine women people must be contained in the protection force contained in the first position. My reasoning for that is that they refuse to be drafted like quite a few male does. the protection force isn't precisely a valuable position, and if you're actually not prepared to completely dedicate to the reason then do not complication exhibiting up. @ Ender the adult adult males on your household have already lost my observe of lol @ Rose D i'm a conservative, and that i imagine women people could "submit or close up" even as it contains the protection force.

Answer 5

I agree, though in all fairness, when the draft was, women were not allowed in the fighting fields.

Same thing should apply to selective services at 18 years of age, I think.

Answer 6

We get to carry the children and bleed once a month, you get to go to war. That's how it works. :) Women already do have equality to men and plenty of women enlist voluntarily. Anyway the draft will NEVER go through so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Answer 7

first of all they are talking about reinstating it and women will be included in it not just men... how do you feel about that?

Answer 8

apparently the reasoning is that girls would be a distraction, and men would tend to favor saving a woman over a man, same as a child, the other reason is their period, this is what I've heard not what I think is right
