Should women be required to be drafted and to serve in equal percentages of Frontline combat roles, in the name of equality?

Question

Equality dictates equal risks for equal rights.

Andres77 · Accepted Answer

Yes. Absolutely. If women want absolute equality then they should give themselves over to absolute conditions.

and for the ignorant women who decry “rape, rape!”. The poor girls who actually suffer the reprehensible act/crime of rape seldom report it. A good portion of those who do report rape are false accusations that seek vengeance or money.

men in prisons are on par with women who are raped in the free world.

if women knew the horrors of being a man, the real horror of being a man, they would stfu about their period pain, or feeling unsafe walking down a dark alley at 2 AM, and be grateful for those who are willing to protect them and provide for them so they don’t have to face the real monsters in this world on a daily basis.

deal with your period pain and stfu as you enjoy 10 more years of life.

The draft shouldn't be a thing. Causes more problems then its worth. Lotta ranking officers getting murdered suicides. Draft makes sense when every farmhand can't read. They want to achieve some glory.

Modern time you have to want to be in the military or the whole thing falls apart. This is how you create the strongest military force worth its salt.

Why do you hate the military? it's like a punishment in a way. While male and female choose to enrole filling the ranks without a draft.

If there ever was a need for a draft to serve on the front lines again the US military would be drafting anyone the feet fit enough to serve on the front lines 15-70 because the majority of Americans are now too fat or obese to be drafted. They'd probably open recruitment to central & south American countries as well as Africa in exchange for US citizenship.

I'm serving in the national guard and let me tell you that you need to be a very strong healthy fit man to serve in the frintline carrying 50-80 kilos of equipment, ammo and body armor for miles every day. The guy I'm married too, half his squad in Afghanistan had to quit the marine corps because of back injuries and ankle problems.

Anyway the draft is irealvent. The amount of front line troops is tiny. Most of it is logistics.

Did you know that men who identify as women, don't have to register for the draft?

HighValue · Answer

Only the women that vote democrat should be required to have an all women's branch of the military (to not put male soldiers' lives at risk due to lack of ability) and serve on the front line for combat.

Until MILLIONS of women willing fight and die, getting shot and having their limbs blown off defending families and their country/society, they haven't earned equality.

Miristheiss · Answer

No, because that would make the military SUCK. Women are not men. That would severely weaken the fighting force to have a bunch of women mixed in. The lack of speed, explosiveness, power, testosterone and aggression... would make them really substandard soldiers and that doesn't help the country fight or win in combat.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

I don't want people with me on the front line "for equality" or any silly reason like that. If you can't cut it and pass the tests I don't want you there, and there aren't enough women who can pass it for there to be "equal percentages."

I think both men and women should have to sign up for selective service but why for just combat roles? Are men are drafted only for combat roles? I’m a nurse and there are plenty on needed medical roles when at war. A female friend of mine went into the Air Force as an air traffic controller, two of my male friends were medics in the Navy. They weren’t drafted but none of were considered to be in combat roles.

Lliam · Answer

I oppose the draft. But women should be allowed to enlist if they want to.
And they should be treated equally with no favoritism. In other words, if they can handle the training, they should be allowed into combat. Some women are bad ass. But they shouldn't be forced into combat and used as cannon fodder if they are incapable. There are other jobs that they can do.

2 years ago I would've said that feminists wanted equality so, yes, they should be subject to the same rules as men. But today we see things are so confused that traditional dudes aren't even joining the military. They don't want to be fighting for the rainbow flag. There won't even be a military in a few years. I bet the defense department is hard at work trying to make Terminator style robots.

Whatthefluff · Answer

Yes, I think it’s crazy that men have to do so to vote- something that should be a natural right in a democratic republic, and not women. I’d dare to say it suggests that men are replaceable drones, like ants. Or that the military actually only cares about males as soldiers. Either require everyone to or no one at all (ideally the latter).

Berethor · Answer

Yea. Women are Drafted in my Country but they not on Frontlines. Kurdish Women are Cool.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Frontline, no. With modern day technology women can fight in a war through ships on sea or aircrafts as fighter jets and B-2 bombers but not on the ground in the front lines as a woman's body isn't built physically strong enough to endure such circumstances.

inhua · Answer

you can add brick layers, garbage collectors, sewer cleaners, piano removalists, farm animal slaughterers and pest control to that list

Pohjolan · Answer

Even IDF keeps them mostly in support roles. Most women were not cut out for frontline duty before Americans decided that being fat is fashionable.

However this doesn't mean that I'm against women in frontline units in any case like I want to keep my platoon medic despite of her having tits.

Now I don't count her to be able to do combat wise anything beyond self-defence but frankly that's not her job.

California_Poppy · Answer

I would be okay with equality in this regard, but I think I would prefer that neither one was required to draft.

Thatpearl26 · Answer

As much as I’d like to say no because I don’t want to be drafted it is a must. In the name of equality women should be forced to sign up for the draft.

It isn't 1776 anymore. We don't stand out in the field 10 feet away starting while waiting to shoot and then get our swords out. Frontline combat no longer exists. We just drone each other from a distance and fire off missiles.

AviatorTom · Answer

No, men and women are not equals, never have been. Equal opportunity maybe, but not equals.

Fuentes · Answer

Lol no but unless combat roles open up for women such as Cav Scouts, Infantry, Tankers, Artys, and fisters, I don't think they should be drafted into combat roles

TooHot2Care · Answer

No. . . . . . . I don't care if you think I'm sexist, that is NOT a good idea.

007kingifrit · Answer

not in a healthy society, but it would help teach women a lesson of why equality is bad, so in an unhealthy society, yes

Anonymous · Answer

No, but not for the reason you think. Men who are putting their lives on the line deserve better support than what women can offer.

msc545 · Answer

Yes. Equality means you accept the bad things as well as the good things.

WhiteBoyChill · Answer

All else same, an army of 100 men is better than one of 100 women. Sue me
