Having men drafted and women not is again something that I, and many, many other feminists are against as well. Some are against the draft entirely, some think both should be subject to it. I didn’t think selective service registration required for men to be able to vote? Am I wrong? That is also a problem not experienced in all other western countries. Several draft men and women, others have no draft.
And, boy has democracy in the US sure come a long way in the last 150 years. Many groups of people have won the right to vote, thank goodness! We are better off as a society when all have equal rights.
Then why don’t you rouse your powerful feminist lobby and get it changed! Men have no lobby and no voice. When a group of men sued the federal government over the draft in 1981 the SC threw the suit out. Also, the guy in the white house doesn’t give a darn about the guy typing this post. Just b/c we are both guys that doesn’t mean he represents my interests. I know that is a hard thing for many women to understand.
It may not be required to vote but if you don’t do it you loose out on a lot like a drivers license, federal employment, state employment, financial aid, and fines if they choose to enforce. How’s that for an “undue burden?”
Extremely insulting, misogynist and also inaccurate.
Pro-tip: If you use the words “always” or “never” when referring to a group of people you are almost guaranteed to be wrong.
Here we ago with that over used M word again. So when an “educated” woman like Marilyn French says something like “All men are rapists and that’s all they are” you would support the notion that she is a misandrist? This is what I mean. Many women are quick to insult men without seeing what their side of the species does. I do not hate women though I am completely uninterested in dealing with them in anything more than a professional setting. Microsoft Word doesn’t even recognize “misandry” as a word. Men are willing to call their own but women seldom do.
Remind me again, what have women taken civic responsibility for that men don’t as well?
What you meant to say was the male property owners were the only ones allowed to vote until 70 years before women.
Women couldn’t own property so they obviously couldn’t vote. The other men were able to vote 70 years BEFORE women. Ummmmm, that’s a life time. Almost 3/4 of a century.
I honestly can’t take your posts about women and the draft seriously because you say filth like this. **You want women to strap on boots and a gun yet say, “They never were conditioned to take responsibility like men were.” **
With that one sentence you just threw a grenade at your whole women and the draft arguement.
I have read several of your posts. It seems to me that you want women to respect men to the nth degree, yet have no respect for women. If you did have respect for women, you wouldn’t say awful mess like this.
Thank God for feminists. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to say this to you without my husband being able to beat me with a rod no wider than his thumb.
Look, in regards to voting it was the rich versus the poor. Still is. A rich woman had a better lot than a poor man. It had nothing to do with maleness. Also, think about it for a second. Things were very different in the old world. Many people were uneducated. Women were highly domesticated because many household duties required enormous amounts of time whereas today we have technology do a lot for us. I am NOT saying denying women the right to vote was the right thing but given the time period it is not entirely a mystery to me. In any case we are beyond that now so its a moot point. No one is advocating taking the right away from women.
Honestly I don’t care what you nor any other woman says to me. Doesn’t bother me one bit because I am quite secure and content with my life while many sit there and make victims out of themselves. I support your freedom of speech more than anything else! I am glad women speak up because it makes it so much easier to resist you all and realize I am missing nothing by remaining single.
Yes, thank God for feminists. The same feminists that attack the Catholic Church on a regular basis for a variety of issues like contraception, women priests, and abortion. It is good to know you thank them for the money and verbal power you got out of it while tacitly making their dirty laundry look like no big deal. If it wasn’t for them I might actually believe all that garbage about women being the “fairer sex” and all lovingly angelic. Nothing like a little dose of raging feminist to bring one into reality that women can be as good if not better than men when it comes to doing evil things.
I respect everyone I meet, women included. It seems though that if anyone even in the slightest say something out of the way a woman doesn’t like they get trampled all over. I mean do women ever scold women for anything when it comes to men. An overwhelming majority of you subscribe to and perpetuate the nonsense that men = bad women = good. Can you really blame a guy for being blunt? I have lost several friends b/c they thought I was being too judgmental when they were mistreating women. I told them straight up they were wrong and uncharitable. How many women do that? I am always hearing girls tell each other how much they deserve all the good things and never to feel guilty for caring about themself. If I told a guy to do that I can only imagine what kind of response I would get. So you know what I will say what I want bluntly and if you don’t like it, tough cookies.
To the bold: You proved my point. If they were conditioned to take responsibility they would be strapping the boots on and ALL women would be advocating for the draft to include both.
) choice about having their baby, too, killed by a rabid abortionist Feminist, we just might be making some progress in terms of elevating the Social Consciousness Quotient of Men’s issues…
Clever mental gymnastics that, eh wot? Sort of a …‘Flex- elect’ policy eh?
In all honesty, I am domesticated. I cook, clean, and iron (even the dress uniforms) and he is my big bad military man.
