We were talking in class about how men have to sign up for something when they turn 18, which puts them on the list to be drafted if necessary. Women don't have to do this. Is this fair? The arguement is that if women are to have equal rights they should have equal responsibilities, what do you all think? In the US by the way.

Well, as much as I would have hated the idea of being drafted, or of one day having my future daughters drafted, I do agree that equal rights means equal rights. Therefor if men have to sign up for the list, women should too. Women still have a long way to go though...we're still not truly equal. We don't earn as much money as men and we still don't always get treated equally.

I think women should have to sign up for selective service, I think its because we do not have the draft right now and it has just been overlooked and we are still not equal, but we are getting closer.... I would gladly sign up for the draft if I were 18 (am 29)....

I agree. If women enjoy the right to serve (and I support that), they should be willing to accept the obligation to serve (ie. register for and be subject to the draft if it is ever reinstated). It is a 2 way street.

actual equality can purely be earned and not pressured, by employing respecting one yet another for who and what they're. The Bible is actual the reality in defining the equality of guy and woman.

Feminists have never claimed they wanted equal responsibilities, only equal rights.
There are other examples of this, but you will not get any responses from feminists on female positive inequalities.

yes of course and she must pee the same as he, too; meaning frequent the Mens room just like her male counter-part.

they should, but they still won't be able to do the same job a man is going to do.
