With Congress lined up for a battle over whether women should be required to register for the draft, there’s one group that is solidly against the idea, a new poll suggests: women themselves.

Women are much less likely than men to say women should be required to register for Selective Service when they turn 18, according to a poll conducted earlier this month by The Economist/YouGov. Thirty-nine percent of women supported registration for women, compared to 61 percent of men.

Well, no. Feminists wanted all of the rights and none of the responsibilities that come with them.

Yep. Sign ‘em up. Equality means equal. There also should be no distinction between women and men’s sports. Equal means equal. Make feminists choke on their demands.

Yes, make women change their own tires too. I learned how.

I have no sympathy at all for women nowadays. You ladies wanted equality and now you have it. You’ve come a long way baby!

Damned unintended consequences. Seems to be a lot of those popping up.
Reality sucks now, sistas, and your proggies made it for ya.
Can’t go back to the kids and the kitchen any more. That’s gone.
Work. Struggle. Divorce. And now, fight.
Happy?

Of course. Special treatment. Equal treatment means you cant say no to unpleasant responsibilities.

Special treatment. But they framed it as “equality”.

Women should never be drafted. It would be unnatural and uncivilized. Trump should say so and allow his opponent to promote such a thing. Strident women will disagree, of course, but they are in the very tiny minority. Even those among them who outwardly disagree know the truth of what I tap into my laptop. As does the majority of everyone else...

Now i think they should. My caveat is if called up, they should not fill combat roles. For their own safety, the other soldiers’ safety, and because we want to win more than being pc/gi jane.
