It won't solve anything to take ordinary women who have no interest in being the armed services and force them to register for the draft

A slightly different angle to consider:

The "draft" that young men are now registering for is nothing of the sort. For registrants to begin to be classified and involuntarily inducted would require new legislation, which under current circumstances is inconceivable.

By contrast, when I registered on my eighteenth birthday I was classified within seven days. That year, 296,000 men were involuntarily inducted. THAT is a draft.

Since the men who register now are in no actual danger of involuntary induction, but are at risk of penalty if they don't do it, it seems only fair that their female compatriots should undergo the same bureaucratic process (that is, if you think this absurd conservative virtue-signalling Federal jobs program masquerading as a draft should continue at all).

WHAT? What if in an emergency we need soldiers? In November 1941, a real draft passed the House by one vote. From a standing start, zero budget and zero employees, men were able to be classified and inducted within a month.

Of course, the chances that any female will ever be involuntarily inducted into the armed forces of the United States are zero, whatever laws are passed or not passed, and whatever Republicans say or don't say, or do or don't do. You know it, and I do, too.

Just another squirrel to distract us from real issues.

And when George Bush was president, did you think boys would be able to marry each other and grown men could use the little girl’s room? Or that we would have to accept that if a man tells us he is a woman (or a salmon, for that matter), we would have to believe him or be fired?

In other words, in this deeply corrupted country, I wouldn’t ever say something has a “zero chance” of happening.

I certain agree with you, though, about understanding women’s reproductive value. It’s something to consider deeply rather than making quick, fundamental changes to our culture.
