That's the point of the author.

We not only base our positions on some competition between the sexes, but we have no love for our own daughters. To support another man's daughter being eligible for the draft is to throw my beautiful daughters into places that they should not be.

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?

is to throw my beautiful daughters into places that they should not be.

Your beautiful daughters (and mine) would be conscripted but not sent to the front line, under current or proposed law.

Should they get out of conscription if men are being drafted? Sorry, but I have eyes and I can see that almost 2/3 of college entrants are women, so its not like "they" need men to protect and feed them. This is the way of the world. Like it or leave it, its never going to be 1940 again.

I hope that most men realize the wonderous gift that is a daughter. Keep the women and children at home in times of war and conflict; in the alternative, lose the nation because its not worth fighting for.
