You bring out points that have nothing to do with what I was talking about but I will address them anyway. I have no problem with women being allowed into any profession traditionally held by men but they must meet the standards set for that profession not change the rules so they can get in. I do not hold to affirmative action whether for blacks or women.

As a masculinist, my point was that men are not given equality. They are treated like the disposable gender. If you are going to have a draft then all must be drafted, if you are going to have registration, then all must register. All or none. Equal protection under the law.

Thank you for your response, feeling as you did about my comment and their unrelated nature, in your terms. I do however have to disagree that they are unrelated. Look, we can't draft women in equal numbers and insert them willy-nilly in the military. IMO that would degrade our force capabilities to the point that our military would be far inferior to it's full potential. This being my thought on the issue, how can I separate the issue, as you seem to have indicated you would have.

Anything near parity in the military and our military would cease to be the fighting force it is today. At least that's my opinion.
