A guy drafted into the military feels women are superior since only men must serve, making it seem like men serve to protect exempt women. Advice?

Men are certainly expendable while women and children aren't, but I wouldn't say we're inferior. Men get sent to fight because we're better at it, and because a society needs as many women as possible to survive to make sure it survives another generation. It doesn't need very many men for that. Women need men for combat and physically intensive labor, and men need women for bearing and raising children, and for maintaining the home while we're away. Just because men and women have different roles doesn't mean one is superior to the other. And with modern technology, those roles have been rapidly softening. We're still better suited to some things than each other, but those things have become less of a requirement for society and more of an inclination.

What country many countries don't draft or would draft both sexes!

My advice is if the country loses you need women more then guys to repopulate! Guys are not needed after a war.

Don't be so judgy and closed minded. You have no idea what post war is like!

Most men in the USA would rather not reproduce with the types of women we currently have to pick from

@ManInChains yeah they don't look like anime girls and most don't want the darker snoody hood trash. Not to mention the 9 plus kids Mexicans make.

Just stick with the Asians which breed like rabbits here unlike Japan!

Society is a patriarchy, it recognizes that men are better at war than women, that’s why only men were included in the draft.

The US military is 35-50 % part time between the national guard and army reserves and if you add the individual ready reserves, it's like 1 million part timers retired service people.

The national guard and reserves are a major part of the us military and are very well trained & skilled with many vetreans and are a lot more professional and effective than many military professionals around the world but the reason they are so good is because the US military has such a strong core of full time professionals.

I think the us has the right policy on part timers. It allows them to retain a lot of military trained and vetrean personel in case of war but not having to pay them as full timers in times of peace. And of course the national guard are invaluable in state security and disaster relief matters. I think the US airforce has 330,000 personal with 105,104 Air National Guard and 495,879 Airforce reserve so they've clearly more part timers than regular full timers which makes some sense because say a vetrean f16 pilot can go into semi retirement in the national guard and fly for an airliner while for a few days per year fly an f16 for the national guard and the airforce doesn't lose that experience and skill set.

No, a guy drafted into the military does not feel women are superior. If anything, they are inferior, which is why superior men must protect them.
