The "state" accords enormous preferences to women across the board; from huge income transfer programs like Social Security (which lopsidedly goes to elderly white women) to medicaid, food stamps,etc which goes mostly to women to biased , predatory ,unconstitutional divorce law and college quota preferences like Title IX and so on .

So.. now we're suppose to say women should get out of national service conscription so they can get their college degrees or work or whatever, while men go to get killed? F&ck that. In for a dime, in for a dollar. Change the rest of it, and then you can change this.

I'm against women in th military altogether. It is not about ability; I am sure that there are women who can fight as well as men (the SF author and ex-Marine Elizabeth Moon comes to mind). There simply are better things for them to be doing.

That said, since the feminists have screwed everything else up, draft 'em. If men have to register for the draft, so should women.

Sing it brotha!

I agree with you whole-heartedly... As a group, today's Western Women are the most pampered folk ever to walk the planet.

>> Shouldn't our hearts be turned to a special protectiveness for our daughters, our wives, the mothers and future mothers of our children?

Have our hearts turned to stone?<<<

Two different viewpoints.

The first viewpoint isn't taking into consideration the fact that men and woman have different physical capabilities and strengths, different psychologies and emotional natures, and different roles according to nature. Women are actually supposed to be protected by men, this is natural law as well as stated in Christian and Judaic scripture as well as the Vedas. When families and society have broken down, then the gov't steps in to take care of the abandoned and other women who aren't making it very well. It is a testimony to the difficulty women face in "making" it in a man's world. Of course, the gov't does a rotten job, makes the situation worse, and "feminism" is doing everything it can to destroy the natural family, and the natural qualities of women, so women from a young age have their minds and hearts twisted and hardened against men. One solution I see is to get kids homeschooled and away from being influenced by mass media, which is own and controlled by homosexuals and feminists.

Funny how those who insist on drafting women are the same people (you being a probable exception) who build the abortion clinics, give RU-486 to minors without their parents' knowledge, teach sodomy in public schools and push Title IX, to the detriment of our sons and daughters.

If conservatives are to be effective, we need to be consistent.

"Women in combat" demeans women by forcing them to behave like men; and demeans the men who allow it.

Is the world a better place in these past four decades? Or are we living through a real Matrix, inconceivable a generation ago, that desires the occultic obliteration of sexual distinctions?

"Women in combat" is the homosexual dream-come-true.

I'm against any forced conscription. But the military is a profession that requires a masculine aggression, and should stay that way.

Unless we really want more Hillary Clintons and Janet Renos.

Wow. This post proves the original poster's point: that American men have lost "godly affection" for their daughters. To view the potential drafting of one's own daughter as a form of pay-back to women for the advantages women get is...chilling.
