Huh? There hasn't been a need for the draft in over 28 years because the all volunteer military is working very well. Women aren't needed in combat roles in the military, and they aren't wanted there. Their training is easier than their male counterparts just so they can pass the tests and wear the uniform.
More females 'sailors' get discharged early because of pregnancies than you can shake a stick at. I have read about more good soldiers, including highly competent and capable General Officers, be forced to leave the military for "sexual harrassment", (asking for a date), that they could almost make up a regiment of their own. Take feminism and stick it where the sun don't shine.
I would hate to see the status of the services if not for women...
my mother cared for dying soldiers in WW2 at a TB hospital, and I happen to think her contribution to the war effort as a Navy nurse was equal to that of my dad, who fought with the Navy in the Pacific....
I would love to see a complete return to traditional roles for men and women...it ain't gonna happen..
It ain't gonna happen because too many people think that the gender roles are not exclusive...that men and women can do the same things as well....SOMETHING THAT I DON'T BELIEVE AT ALL.....but if one is going to say that women can not do men's work than that would require them to say that men can not do women's work, and that would mean that women would automatically get 100% custody of young children...since that is the traditional role of women....and judging by the number of Men's/Fathers rights topics that run weekly here on FR, I don't think that that notion is going to fly...
oh, and about those pregnancies...I suppose they were all Immaculate Conceptions weren't they....
LOL! I haven't heard that expression in a long time. Reminds me of a joke I heard many, many years ago.
Two fellows were quail hunting. One had brought along a hunting dog that the owner described as, "the best quail dog in the world". Not too long into the hunt the dog stopped and tapped his paw on the ground twice. "There's two quail in that bush", the owner explained. Soon two quail flew out of the bush and were shot. Later, the dog tapped his paw on the ground fives times. "There's five quail in that bush", the owner explained. Sure enough, five quail flew out of the bush, three of which were shot. Later, the dog stopped suddenly near a large bush, picked up a long piece of wood in his mouth, and frantically began to shake his head back and forth. Puzzled, the other hunter asked, "What's he saying now?" The owner replied, "He says there are more quail in that bush than you can shake a stick at".
