I would counter that with this - women, since getting the vote nationally, have consistently voted for pro-war candidates and largely supported going to war with other countries. However, they have no direct personal ‘skin’ in the game since they cannot be drafted to go fight and die in that war. As a matter of historical record, women have cheerfully voted to send their men to go fight and die for them in often unneccessary wars.

How, exactly, is that fair and equitable? Women might think long and hard about voting for a pro-war Democrat if they themselves were subject to being forced to fight and die in a war.

OK, I was mistaken, didn’t realize 45 year olds could be drafted. So, what’s your point?

There are only 300 million Americans.

There are 2 billion Muslims and 1.5 billion Chinese. If we are going to survive, we will need to be like Israel and anyone who can hold a rifle will need to fight.

I just want to see how The Squad would vote on this.

The problem isn't whether women have to register for the (will never be used) Selective Service. The issue is women in combat units. That is the issue driving this, and if Congress didn't pass this change, the Supreme Court likely would end up ordering it anyway because the rationale supporting a males-only draft was that only males can serve in Congress. That's the Rostker v. Goldberg case from 1981.

I'm fully in favor of this change because having women getting angry about registering for the draft is one of the few things that could end up changing the policy on women in ground combat units.

Azzholes. Burn in hell before you put decent Christian normal American girls under the command of lesbians in boot camp, trannies in platoons, and our idiotic treasonous generals.
And today’s military is no place for a decent American kid. It is rife with marxism, sodomy, perversion, Wiccan, trannies, BLM, CRT, and every unAmerican thing you can think of.

And to those who say females asked for it. I won’t punish our decent young women so you can punish leftist women more effectively.

And to those who say they can be clerks, nurses, mechanics, etc.... current law does not segregate by sex whatsoever. They are as likely to be assigned infantry or other combat roles as anyone else.

A society that sends its breeding age women our to war its utterly depraved unless it’s for national survival.

“Because their women are trained in arms and self-defense. They have teachers that carry weapons at school because of those pesky terrorists. “

We aren’t a country 15 miles wide with enemies ready to storm the border. And also, the Israelis do not use them the way you think they do. Also, we have a amendment forbidding involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime. There is no exception for “unless it’s to send you to war”. Woodrow Wilson found his way around that by saying that when Congress declared war, the entire nation had volunteered through it’s representatives. So he created Selective Service that was merely choosing from a giant pool of “volunteers”.

It’s pure BS.

45 is not exactly the ‘prime birthing age’ listed in your post. Even 36 is considered getting up there by many, and that’s the ‘normal’ upper limit.

It’s also worth noting that by forcing women to register for the draft, the backlash might be enough to end the farce that’s known as Selective Service entirely, for everyone.

Agree. This is a damn stupid idea. We don’t need to buy into false women and men are equal so they are the same fallacy. Meanwhile Israel’s approach is not so cut & dried
“Men typically serve for three years while women serve for a little under two years. Israel’s recruitment rate is shockingly high, with 80 percent of those summoned to serve enlisting. Although service is mandatory, there are exemptions for married women and women with children, people who aren’t physically or psychologically able, religious men studying at a Jewish law institution or religious women who’d prefer to do “national service,” or community volunteering.”

” females can always work non front line positions.”

Not anymore. Any soldier, can be assigned to any MOS and sex discrimination is not allowed anymore. Normal sane, non-lesbo, traditional daughters will be assigned to front line type jobs. And the perverts running the military today would smugly enjoy doing it to them to watch them get abused.

The US Government needs to quit talking about freedom and liberty. They are authoritarian and are the polar opposites of our founding principles.

I’ve been in over 19 years. My daughters will not sign up for selective service if I have anything to do with it.

I’m prepared to move my family to a non- extradition Caribbean island if need be

“I certainly don’t want females on the front line but they can certainly assist in logistics and many other duties that don’t put them in any immediate danger.”

Our military recognizes NO limit and insists that ANY soldier can be assigned to ANY duty. They can and will be sent to front lines. And the sickos running the US Government and Military would take perverse glee in doing so. At this moment in the military, no female can refuse an assignment to any combat job. There is no, and will be no protection from that.

You have to wake up.

Oh, the poor Nazis. The war in the east FORCED them to give up their long held prejudice against harming women captives.
That would be news to the women nazis started hanging from day one. That would be news to the millions of women stripped naked, abused sexually, and shot beside a ditch. The homo-nazis never showed the slightest deference to females.

Go polish your maltese falcon heinie.

Ok noob. Because a bunch of woke women in Seattle want that, you don’t get to abuse decent traditional American girls who don’t want to be forced into slavery under the boot of bull dykes, trannies, atheists, perverts, homos, BLMS, marxists, and wiccans.

You are willing to harm decent American girls to get revenge against the left.

Yeah, really. A bunch of idiot migrants who want flood the country sucks, but Israel is 15 miles wide in some spots. They are Surrounded by Arab enemies who have actual militaries with tanks, jets, and soldiers with bayonets.

It’s different.
