Why Aren't Women Drafted? Should They Be? (Page 3)

[JMghow]

Women should not be coddled, not in the post-feminist age. They want the rights of men, they get the responsibilities of men, too. No voting men off to die in wars while knowing you can sit back with impunity.

[Nik1hil]

Well placing women in battlefield is like fighting a war with needle or trying to sew with a sword..

Things are made for a reason each has their job.. Don't mess it up..

Besides a women can offer 10 times the stuff inside the nation than being in battlefield..

[dev765]

I'm not sure why the two anons are being downvoted when plenty of men believe women are much more valuable. I've read history books of great leaders who considered men to be expendable. The truth is men are indeed seen as less valuable because men consider them to be such.

They are always wanting to be equal, thinking any job a man can do i can do better, Then lets see them enjoy this. or will they back down, or do they just want the easy jobs or complain about there wages forever. I say draft them. THERE wanting to be men in the first place treat them as such

[chopper1977]

Um veteran here... I didn't serve because I wanted to be a man. What a sick sexist fuck you are to assume as much.

[Opinion Owner]

@chopper1977 you choose to be there. I'm talking about drafts you t*** ... Read before you post only men have ever drafted.. A person that services and not out of desire to be there

[Anonymous]

i heard they eventually will be or something, required to register for selective service otherwise they lose the ability to qualify for benefits like financial aid, etc. well for in the states i mean. perhaps they wouldn't make all units co-ed and that women would be in all-women units, not sure what else is there about it.

I’d have no problem with being drafted in but you make some very good points too. Guess I’m just not a girly girl since I hang with guys a lot too. My guy friend (and women also) even said it’d have suited me to have gone in, but life had other plans for me.

[Kemil_Zhoki]

The draft is a declaration by the government that you are its property to use and dispose of as it sees fit. It is anathema to a free society. No one should be drafted.

[lanabug]

I thought the draft ended but if it didn't I think it should end. No one should be forced to put their life on the line.

[kreamykraemez]

when a male turns 18 he has an option to sign for selective service which is basically the next draft if he doesn't sign it he will lose the majority of his rights as an us citizen

[malegender]

because women only want the desirable parts of traditionally male roles and none of the burdens. Likewise they only want to unload their burdens but not the perks of being female.

Ever see feminists demonstrating because there aren't enough female drywall workers or too few male nurses?

[Factshurt90]

I don't see a place for women on the battlefield UNLESS they are willing to bust ass and work just as hard as the men do. I don't think your average woman has what it takes to be a soldier and I don't see the point in drafting us.

[Malik00]

I say draft women too. I dont care what role they play, but if i'm gonna risk my life in a pointless war then some of them should come along for the ride.
Seriously its amazing how disrespectful a lot of women are these days, and yet the expect us to protect their asses the moment things go south.
Fuck that, they wanna be protected here's a gun.

Woman are not physically stronger than men in general due to differences in our biological makeup.

Men and women are not equal but both sexes have their own strengths and weakness.

All these western woman in their comfort bubble think they can get drafted to a war zone and actually do something useful. Bullshit

[cykasenpai]

If you go 50/50 in the military, the talibans are going to laugh their ass off as you get fkd in actual, bloody, arduous combat. Women are not suited for murdering and destroying.

[xhejo]

Lol this made me laugh, so true. It’s fine if they wish to, but your everyday women wouldn’t fair so well in the military.

[cykasenpai]

@xhejo Honestly, if I was in a trench, and I saw a pack of five women get mutilated by a grenade, screaming in pain and terror, it would just be a whole new level of wrong. They're the ones who are supposed to be safe in the first place...

[AngelLily]

As a women I don't want to be drafted I don't want to die.

[Deathraider]

So should guys be drafted? We don't want to die as well.

[AngelLily]

@Deathraider I know drafting is a sad thing😞

[Anonymous]

Women should absolutely be part of the draft now. They just shouldn't be on the front lines because they compromise the safety of the men serving with them.

War is very different today than it was during the Vet Nam war, for example. It is much more tech driven and service centric. There are plenty of positions in which women can serve without endangering others.

So yeah, I don't buy any of the reasons listed above. I could give just as many valid reasons why men shouldn't serve.

[Cask23]

Feminism - give me all the benefits of being a male with none of the responsibilities

[Exterminatore]

Haha 3 women thus far downvoted this. That is a purely objective argument. How can anyone logically disagree with that. Equal rights + equal responsibilities = being drafted for war. The down votes just prove the point you just made.

[CubsterShura]

Those who don't want to be drafted shouldn't be drafted. Period.

Women's contribution to run an economy when men have been out to war is so valuable though.

[Linnieloulou]

Personally, I dont think that men or women should be drafted period. I think that joining the military should be a personal decision. It is tough to get in to the military for both men and women.

[Pineapple_Boy]

I don't think women should be drafted, but every one of your points are contradictory to the current view of women in the military, which is a bit ironic lol

[briecheese07]

Pretty weird mytake...

[myTake Owner]

Those are not my points of view. They are reasons that have been given in general as to why women should not serve. The only real definitive one I see, is number 1, and that only applies to certain women (and in some cases, men). I truly believe that there should be no draft. I want people in that position that want to be there and feel that they are upholding freedom or whatever they believe in, not someone who worked in a mall kiosk and are scared out of their minds..notice I said people, aka men too. Let people go who voluntarily want to be there, which is the system we have working now.

[Anonymous]

No ones drafted anymore are they? If they were of course women should be drafted but they should only be allowed in if they can finish the training etc.
